IT services provider ASG Group Limited (ASX: ASZ) has been contracted to provide IT systems integration and management services for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2007 Taskforce.
The APEC 2007 Taskforce is a team operating under the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) with the brief of performing logistics and security planning for the APEC Australia 2007 year of events.
APEC 2007 culminates with the meeting of APEC Economic Leaders in Sydney in September 2007.
Under the terms of the contract, ASG will provide the APEC 2007 Taskforce with Desktop Support Services, Project Management and Integration Services to both stationary and mobile locations as the APEC event travels across Australia during 2007.
ASG Chief Executive Officer Geoff Lewis said the company was pleased to have been selected to provide services for the series of major international events.
"ASG has an established reputation for delivering high level services across Australia, which enables us to compete for larger and more complex systems management roles and projects in both government and corporate markets," said Mr Lewis.
"This high profile contract is yet another example of our ability to provide IT services on a national scale and is a testament to the skills and experience of our staff.
