MFAT is the lead agency for provision of GWAN services under a Master Services Agreement (MSA). The primary use of the GWAN is to connect overseas branch office IT systems to NZ head office systems of respective GWAN Partners. Local Internet access, backup links and remote connectivity from agency owned devices are important parts of the network.
Project Goal

Because GWAN Partners are reliant on capabilities of the GWAN preferred supplier, the capability of the supplier to deliver a reliable connection service to offices across the globe is a key element.
The supplier’s future vision and product development is another key element to future delivery of ICT services to overseas offices. GWAN Partners recognise ongoing investment in fibre networks, technology innovation and IT service development are driving improved price/performance in international networking and they wish to benefit from improvements without compromising security.
