ASG to deliver innovative 'Desktop as a Service' solution for Federal Government

ASG Group (ASX:ASZ) continue to reinforce their position as a leading ICT provider to the Federal Government with the signing of a 4 year contract with the Department of Finance. The New World deal is worth over $29 million.

ASG will deliver a state-of-the-art Electronic Work Environment (EWE), giving staff the flexibility to access their data and applications securely from any device. This innovative approach will enable employees the freedom to perform their work remotely, at any time.

The full solution will see ASG deliver a new Windows 10 Desktop Service, Enterprise Mobility, Wireless, Email, Unified Communications, Enterprise Voice, and Collaboration Services - creating a complete Desktop as a Service for Government.

ASG's pioneering 'as-a-Service' solution aims to reduce the financial, operating and human capital previously associated with owning technology-based assets. It delivers a complete package in line with the current Government ICT policy.

"This solution enhances productivity and efficiency by unlocking staff from the traditional workplace, providing a secure environment that follows them everywhere," explains Geoff Lewis, ASG CEO. "ASG has the unique capability to deliver the most comprehensive enterprise mobility and enhanced desktop as a service platform."

ASG General Manager for Federal Government, Mr Wayne Gowland, said, "This arrangement is a significant step for Government in the adoption of a flexible and sustainable Desktop as a Service model and will result in significant cost savings, operational benefits and flexibility".

This deal further cements ASG's foothold in the Federal Government market, building on the recent successes with Department of Communications, Australian Transport


and Safety Bureau, Australian Maritime Safety Authority and Department of Defence.
