Canberra software company archTIS Limited has signed a $4.06 million contract for a workplace modernisation proof of concept with the Australian Department of Defence.
The contract includes software licences and services to conduct a proof of concept (POC) to modernise the Defence workplace environment.
archTIS will deploy NC Protect, Microsoft, and third-party software products to evaluate their productivity, compliance, and security gains for the Defence office environment and its users.
The POC will commence immediately and is expected to be completed by the end of the 2023 calendar year.
archTIS’ NC Protect dynamically secures sensitive information by applying zero-trust enforcement policies and data-centric access controls across Microsoft 365, SharePoint on premises, and file share environments.
archTIS managing director Daniel Lai said the contract, with the existing NC Protect client, provides a new opportunity to demonstrate the product’s utility across a broader use case in Defence.
“This contract is an important step for Defence to evaluate the productivity gains,” he said.
“We believe that NC Protect can contribute to the way the department works on and secures information in a modern workplace environment.
“The need to increase productivity, security, and speed across Defence has been identified in the newly released Defence Strategic Review; this initiative is a small but important part of that cultural change.”
The contract can be terminated by the Commonwealth at its convenience, with the full contract amount becoming payable to the company upon termination.
