Valued at $759,000, the services include data-taxonomy, modelling, and security for a Defence data program.
The announcement forms the second work order between the two companies for the OneDefence Data Program, having been selected by KPMG Technologies in November to deliver services under Tranche 1 of the project.
The work order is scheduled for completion on Friday 30 June, 2023.
KPMG’s Australian Technologies Solutions was selected in April 2022 as the preferred systems integrator to deliver crucial defence data investments, leading a consortium which includes archTIS, Oracle and Microsoft.
“archTIS is pleased to be awarded this new work order and grow in partnership with KTech to support the Australian Department of Defence’s secure data initiatives,” Daniel Lai, managing director and chief executive officer of archTIS said.
“This cements archTIS as a key partner to KTech in delivering important Defence data outcomes demonstrating continued growth in a key strategic account. The work we are doing in Defence with KTech will unlock future opportunities for archTIS in the large Defence market for future product sales.”
In June, the company announced its receipt of a $7 million contract to expand its existing deployment of Kojensi software within Defence.
The two-year deal, which commenced upon execution, includes an option for a 12-month extension.
Kojensi — an accredited multi-level security (MLS) platform —supports the sharing of sensitive and classified information internally and with external partners and clients.
The deal builds on the existing deployment of Kojensi across the Department of Defence, as well as the deployment of archTIS’ NC Protect software in the Defence Information Environment (DIE).
NC Protect is designed to secure documentation and file sharing across SharePoint for classified information or content in communities of interest on the DIE.
Mr Lai said this latest deal is a result of the company’s broader push to bolster its footprint in the defence space.
“Over the past 18 months we have been actively targeting global defence agencies and the broader defence industry due to their compelling need to secure highly sensitive information,” he said.
“This target market strongly aligns with the unique value proposition our products offer. Kojensi and NC Protect are filling a critical need for zero-trust information security in the well-funded defence and intelligence market and the industries that support them.”
