State of Texas DIR Awards DYONYX a Contract for State Security Services
A newly signed agreement between the Texas Department of Information Resources and DYONYX delivers expanded security services and lower costs for state and local government agencies and school districts throughout the state of Texas. "This agreement leverages our existing assets at the state data center in San Angelo and ensures continued physical and technical upgrades will be made to that facility," said State Senator Robert Duncan, HB 1516 sponsor. The contract includes over 20 percent historically underutilized business (HUB) participation, performance metrics, extensive reporting, and collaborative governance with participation by all 27 agencies. With the new agreement come increased security levels for assets and information not currently seen in state government. As part of the agreement, DYONYX is one of less than twenty vendors authorized to perform security services work in over fifty categories.
This contract is the second master contract that DYONYX holds with DIR for the state of Texas. In 2007, DYONYX was awarded the DIR IT Staff Augmentation Contract to provide IT services to state agencies. The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) promotes a shared vision for Texas that maximizes the value of the State's technology investment by identifying common areas of interest, using technology to advance agency missions, and preserving flexibility to innovate.
