Contract extension supports expanded services and service delivery for ANZ in Australia and Asia through Singtel and Optus Business.
Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) and Australian enterprise services provider Optus Business today announced an extension to its telecommunication and managed services agreement with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) to 2020.
The strategic partnership between Optus and ANZ was first established in 2009 with a five year ICT services deal announced in 2013. The scope of services of the agreement includes domestic and international data network services, mobility, collaboration, contact centre services and managed services to support ANZ’s operations.
John Paitaridis, Optus Business Managing Director said, “Our strategic relationship with ANZ continues to go from strength-to-strength and we are delighted with this significant contract milestone. We are highly committed to continuing our innovative approach to supporting ANZ’s critical ICT requirements and business operations in Australia and across Asia.
“Optus Business is focused on delivering leading ICT managed services to Australian enterprises and government organisations, and this multi-year contract extension with ANZ is testament to our capability, innovation and demonstrated track record.”
Shayne Elliott, ANZ Chief Executive Officer, said: “The services provided by Singtel have played an important role as we use technology to make it easier for our customers to do their banking with us and provide innovative ways for our staff to collaborate.”
Chua Sock Koong, Singtel Group Chief Executive Officer said, “We are very pleased with the ANZ contract renewal and look forward to continuing to leverage the Singtel Group’s scale, expertise and innovation to support ANZ’s business objectives in years to come.”
