ASX-listed service provider ASG has signed a master services agreement which includes a "complete IT asset transfer" from maintenance and construction services firm AGC Ausgroup.
The partnership will see the transfer of AGC's entire ICT infrastructure to ASG, including technology hardware and people. This will include two data centres, as well as metro office data rooms including servers, storage and network equipment, ASG head of strategy Gerald Strautins told CRN.
"We will take it all on board then incorporate it within our data centre," Strautins said.
ASG will move the customer to a software-as-a-servce model including full supply chain integration across a "range of ICT systems". ASG technology will manage procurement, projects, finance and HR and payroll and will service approximately 1,500 users including employees and contractors. Strautins said two "towers" of the agreement were already in the process of being finalised.
The agreement is part of the $100 million pipeline of opportunities under negotiation ASG reported earlier this year. This includes $21 million in contract wins announced previously, with customers including Melbourne University and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
The AGC head office is in Perth. The company supplies services to natural resource companies involved in oil, gas and mineral projects and has an inhouse capacity to fabricate up to 30,000 tonnes of steel products per annum. Parent company Ausgroup Limited is based in Singapore and reported revenue of $580 million in 2013.
