IT services provider NEC Australia has won two contracts with WA Health to transition its wide area network services in metropolitan and regional areas to the GovNet unified communication network, part of the GovNext-ICT transformation program that is moving WA government services to the cloud.

NEC is one of three suppliers on the GovNext-ICT panel, along with Atos Australia and Datacom. Atos recently won a five-year, $124.3 million contract with WA's Health Support Services to take over the old Fujitsu contract to provide data centre and cloud services for WA Health clinical and non-clinical applications.
