Fujitsu signs ICT deal with WA Health

Tech giant Fujitsu has signed a deal with Western Australia's public health system (WA Health) to provide its data centre infrastructure and manage services support needs, reports ARN News.

In addition to provide relocation and transformation project services that will complement existing ICT infrastructure, Fujitsu will also provide scalable data centre technology and management for WA Health over four years with the option to extend it.

After 18 months of planning and 10-year Info Health Alliance contract, Fujitsu will deliver a localised service, backed by its global organisation, using its data centre facilities in Perth and its managed services, says Telecom Paper.

Fujitsu will support WA Health's centralised ICT infrastructure, enabling the department to deliver optimised patient care across the state.

According to Robert Lislois, executive GM, Western Australia for Fujitsu, the managed services contract with WA Health represents a great opportunity for Fujitsu to contribute to improving the quality of healthcare in Australia's largest state, reveals CFO World.

“Our new flagship Perth data centre has been designed and built from the ground up to offer advanced and innovative data centre in the state. This facility will accommodate WA Health's initial requirements as well as accommodate plans for future expansion”, says group executive director, managed services at Fujitsu, Tim White.

WA Health represents an important infrastructure support services client for Fujitsu, adding to growing WA managed services business, which includes end-user computing, remote infrastructure management, network management, ITIL service management and data centre services.
