The New Zealand Defence Force has extended its telecommunications and IT services relationship with Gen-i, awarding it a major new licensing contract.
The NZDF has awarded Gen-i a three year contract for Microsoft and other software licensing management, as well as NetApp hardware procurement with enabling software. It says as a result it anticipates reduced licensing costs, greater efficiency from its licensing and significant procurement and operating efficiencies.
“Appointing Gen-i as our Microsoft and licensing management partner will help us maximise our ICT investment and achieve greater value for money,” says NZDF chief information officer Peter Thomas.
“Gen-i has worked with us to ensure we make the most out of our existing investments and has delivered us an innovative solution that allows us to achieve greater licensing efficiencies and further drive down costs,” he says.
Gen-i currently provides New Zealand Defence Force with its desktop and laptop PCs and peripherals, managed data services, enterprise PABX (voice), infrastructure and equipment and professional services.
