The Orchid has announced that centralised ICT systems in the DDS will be reorganised and rationalised around a new DDS Intranet. Over the years a number of separate systems have been developed including DDS Engineering's Data.Net and DDS Communication's ComNET.
The Orchid has ordered the formation of a new DDS ICT Division and combine the various computing, network, information and communications efforts across the DDS in this new division. This will simplify and rationalise DDS computing and in the long run save a lot of money.
