Link Group hands Fujitsu an $80m managed services deal
Australian financial services provider Link Group has awarded Fujitsu an $80 million managed infrastructure services contract as it seeks to optimise its IT spend across all of its business entities.
Under the five-year deal, Fujitsu will migrate the company’s existing business in Western Australia, as well as the IT for newly acquired superannuation administrator Superpartners, to the Fujitsu IT delivery model currently in place in the eastern states.
This delivery model includes the supply of service desk, service delivery management, end-user service network management, infrastructure support, data centre and product services.
Link Group Managing Director John McMurtie said the migration is aimed at helping drive growth, end-user productivity and shareholder value.
“By continuing our proven relationship with Fujitsu we know we’ll receive the best value for our IT spend over the next five years. In addition, we will continue to work with Fujitsu to ensure the highest standards relative to the security of data,” he said.
Link Group is currently preparing to conduct a $2.3 billion IPO on the ASX despite the current volatile trading conditions. The IPO opens on 9 October.
Link Group has been a customer of Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand for the past 10 years. The company has allocated $160 million for systems upgrades and the adoption of new technologies over the next five years.
