Australian government spent AU$364m on Microsoft licensing in 2013-16:
The federal government has issued a Request for Solicitation requesting Microsoft License Solution Providers, after revealing that the country's governments spent more than $ 364 million between July 1, 2013, and January 30, 2016.
The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA), on behalf of Australian governments, is seeking one or more
Microsoft distributors for the Australian Software and Licensing Panel (WAG) during its third round.
The Microsoft Volume Provisioning Agreement (VSA3) began on July 1, 2016, and ended on June 30, 2019. In just over a year, the DTA noted the need for services from one or more providers to provide services to the entities participating in the VSA3.
"DTA also wants to facilitate other entities, which have negotiated their own arrangements with Microsoft, to use the panel to acquire the deliverables under those arrangements, and the associated services," given the RFT.
The DTA said it hopes to appoint a vendor to license Microsoft's Microsoft Desktop Core licenses but is open to more than one successful provider to provide non-core desktop licensing features.
The panel operation will be reviewed annually by the DTA and may be renewed or reopened to add additional panelists, categories or deliverables, RFT notes.
Microsoft announced last week that it had created the new regions of Australian data centers in Canberra's data centers, in the nation's capital, with annual federal spending of $ 6-9 billion annually.
The new offer from
Microsoft allows the technology giant to skirt legislative blocks that previously prevented it from offering protected-level services to Australian governments.
CDC has built its facilities in advance as a secret, allowing Microsoft to offer services from within CDC, inheriting the existing features and thus meeting the requirements of the Australian government.
The Federal Opera government makes bridges between panel agreements, including data center facilities, IT hardware, telecommunications and telecommunications management, and the cloud.
Panel agreements are part of a government-wide digital strategy created after it was revealed that the government was spending more than $ 5 billion a year on IT.
To date, the cloud services panel has signed around 100 preferred vendors, with Microsoft, Datacom, IBM and Macquarie Telecom among the first to arrive on board
