Australian enterprise knowledge management software company, Objective Corporation, today announced a major contract with the British government, following several recent contract wins with Australian Federal and State government departments.

Objective competed on the international stage to win a contract with the British government in Northern Ireland, working with the Local Enterprise Development Unit (LEDU) in Belfast.

Over the past 12 months Objective has secured contracts valued at more than $15 million with Australian federal government clients. These clients include the Federal Attorney General's Department, IP Australia, ATSIC, the Department of Transport and Regional Services and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research. Objective Corporation is also working with the Department of Defence where its Objective knowledge management solutions are being implemented for up to 50,000 users.

Tony Walls, Objective Corporation's CEO - Asia Pacific said the contract marked a breakthrough for Objective in Europe.

"With this win, Objective has cemented its mission to be come the leading supplier globally for enterprise knowledge management in the government arena.

"Governments worldwide require increasingly stringent record keeping requirements. Objective Corporation has already established a leading role in being able to provide a product which meets these strict requirements.

"LEDU closely evaluated the products on the market before selecting Objective. Naturally, this is enormously encouraging for our expansion in Europe and confirms our belief that we have a very bright future there," Mr Walls said.

LEDU has purchased the full suite of Objective software, including document and records management, workflow and the Objective Knowledge Portal.

"We are extremely pleased that the British government has demonstrated such faith in both our product and our ability to deliver their solution.

"LEDU is an innovative and progressive organisation and this implementation will be a showcase for our technology," Mr Walls said.
