AlmavivA and Fastweb win the contract for the information system of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research

Rome, 29 March 2012 – The joint venture by AlmavivA and Fastweb wins one of the two contract lots for managing and developing the information system of the Ministry of Education.

The 89 million starting price concerns a 5-year contract awarded by the Ministry for managing the central and peripheral IT infrastructure providing services to 50,000 schools, the regional schools offices and the provincial administrative services centers. It will also provide telematic and email services to the over 800,000 teachers and, via the dedicated portal, to the families of over 7 million students.

This infrastructure modernization process aims at improving services all round and developing the biggest switch-off project regarding all families, with cost savings starting in the first year of implementation of the contract.

The technical offer presented by the AlmavivA JV was much appreciated for a number of reasons, the cutting-edge infrastructure solutions, the organization and the innovative project design.

The tendering process, featuring competition with a number of multinational companies, telecoms operators active in cloud computing and the leading Italian ICT companies, was an opportunity for AlmavivA and Fastweb to offer their respective business experience in the field of client infrastructure management and the supply of fixed telephone/data services to Government.
