Sydney-headquartered ASI Solutions has pinched Data#3’s account executive Frank Di Palma to lead its expansion into Tasmania as its head Hobart accounts executive.
Palma's hiring and expansion plan into Tasmania follows ASI securing a spot in the state's whole-of-government panel to supply Microsoft solutions to the state.
The ICT hardware supply, maintenance and installation contract standardises agencies' access to products and services from a panel of 30 companies under pre-agreed terms and conditions.
The agreement authorises different panel members to provide specific hardware products and solutions. ASI Solutions has been made a listed reseller for desktops, laptops, tablet computers, smart screens and interactive whiteboards, and monitors.
Other winners of the lucrative agreement include Allcom Networks, Data#3, Intuit Technologies, Jettech Networks, Perfekt, TasmaNet, Telstra, The School Locker, and Winc.
ASI Solutions and Data#3 were similarly awarded membership of the WA’s government’s PC supply panel earlier this month.
The company told CRN that the delivery of the contract would coincide with ASI Solutions setting up shop in Tasmania under Palma’s leadership.
In a separate statement, Palma said he was excited to work with ASI Solutions and considered it an ‘innovative’ and ‘pioneering company’.
“I look forward to taking on the task of growing the local team in Tasmania, and the opportunities this will provide for customers, both current and future, in the region.”
ASI Solutions director Justin Lowe added that Palma’s 20s years of experience in Microsoft Modern Workplace, Azure infrastructure, networking, cloud and managed services made him a strong asset to the company.
“We’re excited to welcome Frank Di Palma to the Tasmanian team. Frank brings to the market our Microsoft skillset and focus on modern management. His experience in service delivery and consulting is a real asset for our local expansion in Tasmania.”
“ASI Solutions’ core focus is on customer experience and we are confident that Frank will apply a consultative approach to successfully deliver digital transformational projects for Tasmanian customers.”
Prior to Palma’s appointment, he was a Hobart-based accounts executive for Data#3; a position he had held since 2017. Before that, he held several roles at CGI for seven years, such as senior consultant, senior service delivery manager, and infrastructure technician.
