Infosys Ltd.

Infosys along with its partner Gen-i and Hyro has won a five year contract to build and deploy New Zealand Ministry of Education's cloud-based Identity and Access Management service. The new contract, to be delivered in partnership is the first time the Ministry has outsourced its identity and access management services.

The cloud service will provide secure access to potentially 32,000 users of applications or services at the Ministry, the Tertiary Education Commission and NZ Qualifications Authority.

The new Identity and Access Management Service will be delivered as a Software as a Service and will be hosted locally in Gen-i's data centres using Gen-i's ReadyCloud service. Infosys will be managing the deployment and ongoing management within the Gen-i ReadyCloud infrastructure. Melbourne-based digital agency Hyro will be providing its Idaptive identity management software, already being used by the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, to be deployed as the new Identity and Access Management service.
