Mincom Signs a Multi-Million Dollar Outsourcing Deal with Xstrata Queensland Limited

Mincom, a leading global provider of software solutions and services for asset intensive industries, has signed a multi-million dollar outsourcing contract with Xstrata Queensland Limited.

Following a competitive tender process, Mincom won the contract to provide managed services to Xstrata’s operational sites in north Queensland and the Northern Territory starting next month.

The contract, which covers IT applications, including Mincom Ellipse, and IT operations, also gives Xstrata the option to engage Mincom to perform additional IT project services.

Mincom proved to be a natural fit for the outsourcing contract, having extensive experience in delivering substantial cost savings for other large asset intensive customers in government, public infrastructure, mining, defense, energy and transport.

Mincom’s IT services solution is specifically designed to enable customers to focus on their core business, reduce operational costs and minimize risks, while having access to the latest infrastructure and technical expertise with the highest level of service.

Greg Clark, Mincom Chief Executive Officer, said, “Securing this contract reaffirms Mincom’s position as a leading managed services provider to core industries, particularly mining. Mincom’s continuing partnership with Xstrata demonstrates that big players in asset intensive industries are choosing Mincom to deliver both products and services critical to their business.

“Mincom understands the complexities involved in all aspects of mining operations and knows that improving productivity, controlling costs and maximizing profits are vital to the success of any operation. IT is a critical part of achieving these core outcomes and Mincom has the experience to ensure that a business’ IT is enabling them to achieve these goals.”
