The three-year deal will supply the Department with a managed network-as-a-service.
Telecommunications company Optus has won a three-year deal to supply the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing with a managed network-as-a-service solution.
With an option to extend the term of the contract to six years, the deal is worth $33 million, according to IT News.
Under the agreement, Optus will provide SD-WAN, voice and data carriage, and mobile services as a support for the DoHDA’s digital transformation.
“We’re proud to support the department with secure, reliable connectivity that enhances operations and employee experience,” said Optus vice-president of major enterprise accounts Stuart Pritchard.
“This reflects our commitment to delivering smart, scalable solutions through strong collaboration with our technology partners.”
Previously Optus supplied the department with IPVPN, Microsoft Teams Operator Connect, and some internet services.
Recently, the DoHDA renewed its $23 million cloud arrangement with Amazon Web Services for another three years.
