archTIS, a global provider of innovative software solutions for the secure collaboration of sensitive information, announced that it has been invited to participate in a KPMG-led systems integration consortium for the Australian Department of Defence.
On 8 April 2022, Australian Assistant Minister for Defence Andrew Hastie announced the acquisition of Tranche 1 of the ICT 2284 OneDefence Data Program. Investments contained in the OneDefence Data Program are outlined in the Defence Data Strategy 2021-23, which outlines initiatives that the Department is implementing to improve its data maturity and enhance the information available to the Australian Defence Force.
The Department of Defence Ministers announced that, following a competitive tendering process, Defence has entered into a contract with KPMG, as the preferred systems integration supplier. It further states that KPMG will lead a consortium which includes several industry-leading suppliers such as Oracle and Microsoft, as well as three Australian Small to Medium Enterprises – archTIS, EPICON and SISU Solutions.
Daniel Lai, managing director and CEO of archTIS stated, “We are pleased to work closely with KPMG and the other members of the OneDefence consortium to improve the data maturity and security of the Australian Defence Force. archTIS continues to see more and more opportunities around a data-centric approach to security. archTIS’ experience and attribute-based access control methodology will continue to play a key role in forming strategic advantages with information for the warfighter and the Defence organisation that supports them.”
archTIS is currently in discussion with KPMG to finalise the terms of its involvement in the consortium, including value, length and other underlying terms of the project, and will update the market as those terms are finalised.
