Data#3 approved for WA govt’s TIS panel

IT service provider Data#3 has become a preferred supplier to the Western Australia government’s Technology Infrastructure and Solutions (TIS) panel.

This addition comes under the CUATIS2024 panel, which encompasses networking, data centre and hybrid cloud solutions.

These categories integrate critical hardware, such as networking systems and storage solutions, with essential services for setup, configuration and maintenance, ensuring seamless, secure and efficient operation across diverse environments.

Data#3’s WA team has a history of supporting public sector agencies in modernising network and data centre environments and accelerating hybrid cloud adoption.

“Our team live and work here; we understand the unique needs of Western Australia and are passionate about helping agencies find secure, innovative solutions that create real impact for our community,” said Data#3 general manager for Western Australia Vince Troth.

“This is a great opportunity to give agencies easier access to our technology partners and more choice in how they deliver services.”

Data#3 said this reinforces its commitment to investing in local capabilities and partnerships; as well as simplifying the procurement processes.

“This appointment underscores our expertise in delivering solutions that empower public sector organisations to achieve their goals,” said Data#3 chief executive officer and managing director Brad Colledge.

This caps off a solid first half of 2025 for Data#3. In February, ARN reported the IT service provider continued its half yearly profit momentum, with net profit after tax (NPAT) for the six months to 31 December rising 4.3 per cent, to $22.4 million.

The NPAT result is $1 million higher than the previous reporting period, which at the time was labelled as “unusually high” and a record result.

Net profit before tax (NPBT) was also up, increasing 4.1 per cent to $32 million.
