The Department of Finance and Administration has renewed its contract with IT solutions provider, Commander Communications Limited, which will provide a further two years of desktop and storage support services for the department, a deal which is now worth $5 million each year.
The commander business, now 25 years old, is well-known for building office telephone systems but has recently expanded to supply complete business communications and technology solutions for businesses, and now government agencies, offering office and mobile telephony, IT hardware and software, internet and network access, converged solutions, maintenance services, software licensing and infrastructure solutions.
The Department of Finance and Administration is a central agency responsible for advising on and implementing many key Government priorities, which means a ‘big deal’ contract for Commander.
“We play a pivotal role in driving forward initiatives which, when in place, will help transform how the Australian Government conducts its business,” says the Department’s website.

“Our role is to help the Australian Government achieve its policy objectives by contributing to four key outcomes: sustainable Government finances; improved and more efficient Government operations; efficiently functioning Parliament; and effective and efficient use of information and communication technology by the Australian Government.”
The contract’s price has been upped from $3.5 million previously to $5 million per year, and features a built-in option to extend to three years should the Department of Finance and Administration require it, suggesting that the demand for secure communications is rising.
“The Department of Finance is committed to building and maintaining a best-practice IT infrastructure to drive and support optimal business performance across all its divisions,” said Commander Group general manager, Steve Evans.<\/P>
“Commander looks forward to continuing to work in partnership with the department to support their high-level business requirements with cost-effective, secure and leading-edge IT systems.”<\/P>
