Logica Australis has signed a five year managed services contract with Queensland Rail worth $33 million to transition and manage their newly-established ICT infrastructure platform.
Queensland Rail is owned by the State Government and manages passenger rail across the busy Brisbane and south east network, long distance rail across all of Queensland and also provides a number of scenic tourism journeys.
When the QR National freight rail operations business was privatised in 2010 the IT infrastructure operated as a shared service between the two organisations.
Queensland Rail has now established independent ICT capability and is working with Logica on phase one of the project to transition the Queensland Rail infrastructure from QR National data centres into new data centres by 30 June this year.
Colin Holgate, CEO Asia Pacific at Logica said:
“Our partnership with Queensland Rail will focus on maintaining sound ICT infrastructure and practices and taking advantage of new emerging technologies so we can deliver the best cost and operational efficiencies.”
