Contiem joins IBM team on £320 million UK defence platform overhaul
Company to supply technical documentation software for AI-driven DEEAMS programme
Contiem has been selected to join IBM’s delivery team on the UK Ministry of Defence’s new Defence Equipment Engineering Asset Management System, a multi-year programme aimed at modernising the country’s military asset management infrastructure.
IBM holds a £320 million contract to deliver the DEEAMS platform, which is designed to replace 17 fragmented and outdated applications with a single artificial intelligence-enabled system.
According to Contiem, the DEEAMS programme is expected to deliver over £1 billion in benefits through reduced support and IT costs.
The US-based documentation and content software provider said it will expand its UK workforce as part of the engagement and will supply several products, including its notusCSDB S1000D software and RSuite Component Content Management System.
“Modern defence operations depend on accurate technical information and interoperable data,” said Julian Murfitt, Senior Managing Director at Contiem.
