In the last two years the department's IT needs have evolved due to increased mobility in the workplace, the need to share data securely, and whole-of-government procurement initiatives. In response, DIAC and Unisys have worked closely to deliver a number of significant programs, including: - Consolidation of the department's five data centers into two. - Procurement of more than 7,000 end user devices. - Roll-out of the Microsoft Windows 7 environment to all end users. - Design and implementation of security measures to enable secure emailing, editing and storage of material with a Protected level security classification. Unisys currently provides services for more than 8,000 DIAC staff nationally, as well as staff in more than 60 locations overseas, handling approximately 25,000 calls per month.
