Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) March 8, 2007 — Aurora Enterprises, a leading IT company specializing in state-of-the-art security and compliance solutions for business critical applications, today announced that it has been awarded a Multiple Award Schedule from the General Services Administration (GSA). The contract allows Aurora to provide enterprise-class encryption products and consulting services from PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data security and encryption solutions to Federal Government agencies.
“Aurora has already earned a similar contract with the state of California, so we can provide effective security solutions to state agencies, cities and counties,” said Philip de Souza, CEO of Aurora Enterprises. “Many of these entities have become satisfied customers, and we wished to bring that same dedication to protecting our clients’ data and intellectual property to the federal government as well.”
The GSA contract allows the federal government to purchase PGP® software and consulting services through a master agreement at pre-negotiated prices. PGP Corporation provides best-in-class encryption solutions that Aurora deploys onto laptop computers, desktop computers and in email.
Philip de Souza described the six-month process of securing the contract as “difficult, but understandable given the significance of the achievement. GSA representatives interviewed both Aurora staff and our current and former clients. They had to prove that we are experienced and worthy of the contract. The government had to be certain they’re getting the best price as well as the most qualified people to provide this crucial service.”
“PGP Corporation is pleased to work with Aurora Enterprises to meet the evolving requirements of our customers,” said Denise Hayman, vice president of sales for PGP Corporation. “Securing placement on the GSA schedule enhances both our companies’ position in the government marketplace, making it easier for agencies to gain access to our products and services. Widely considered a standard in data security, PGP technology is highly regarded for its rapid deployment capabilities, ease of use, and manageable operational costs. Simplifying procurement will enable even more users to realize the value of our proven technology.”
Aurora’s GSA status can be perceived as a vote of confidence, according to de Souza. “If the federal government thinks we’re good enough to have a GSA contract to supply them with PGP® encryption software and consulting services, I believe that says a lot about our ability to service the needs of any customer seeking IT protection.”
