About

MINISTRY OF DEFENCE awarded a contract to FORMIC LIMITED for the provision of Formic Fusion licences to ensure the availability of the Army Hosting Environment (AHE) and Defence Gateway (DGW) applications and services.

The 36-month licence renewal supports Development, Test, and live support at Application and Platform level, as well as ongoing maintenance and security patching on the Army's Cloud hosting infrastructures, including the Joint Server Farm (JSF) and the AHE OFFICIAL, OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE, and SECRET environments.

The software automatically scans, extracts, and validates hand-written information from paper documents up to 50 times faster than a human operator, and enables organisations to publish forms of their own design to the web or deploy them to Microsoft Windows Mobile devices for electronic completion at the front line.

The contract value is AUD 240,000.
