NEC Australia named as finalist in the 2020 Project Management Achievement Awards
NEC Australia has been named as a finalist in the ICT/Telecommunications category of the Australian Institute of Project Management’s Project Management Achievement Awards (PMAA) for its work in the Clarence Correctional Centre near Grafton in northern NSW.
Through two contracts, NEC Australia has delivered on a crucial partnership focused on assisting inmates with their self-improvement with the ultimate goal of fostering increased confidence, better behavior and a more positive self-image.

NEC has provided a range of ICT systems and managed services, some of which include LAN, WAN, WLAN, telephony, voice and video gateways, Inmate Digital Services (IDS), end-point devices, operator services and ICT integration works.
Based on favourable behaviour patterns, inmates will be granted permissions to access IT services such as secure networks, allowing approved purchases and entertainment, managed family communication and internal prison-based, cashless banking resources – all part of the most advanced inmate digital services platform ever seen in Australia.
“We are thrilled to have worked on such an exciting and important project with JHG. To be recognised as a finalist in these awards is a worthy recognition of the amazing talent that we have at NEC, along with a professional collaboration with JHG and our other valued partners,” NEC Australia general manager, projects and transition Hean Groom says.
“Our strong delivery governance framework enabled us to deliver a solution that streamlines processes for inmates and prison operators and creates better outcomes for society in general.”
NEC has a proven history in working with correctional facilities across the country and has worked with their secure and controlled telephony requirements for more than 15 years.
“I would like to congratulate each of the finalists of this year’s awards. This year we received one of the highest number of entrants since the inception of the awards in 2000,” AIPM chief executive Elizabeth Foley says.
“The entries showcase exceptional project success and profile the highly skilled leaders driving these projects forward. We are looking forward to celebrating with all the finalists and revealing the winners in our first ever fully virtual event. There has never been a more pertinent time to celebrate project success as we look to project leaders to guide our economy out of the recession.”
The 2020 Project Management Achievement Awards winners will be announced in a virtual event on the 25th of November 2020.
