This will be implemented across Fixed sites (UK and abroad) and Deployed environments (Land and Maritime).
It will include Local Area Networks (LAN), Servers, Workstations, Printers and associated software as well as messaging and core IS tool-sets. The scope does not embrace Wide Area Network services or Business Applications but DII will be responsible for deploying these.

In addition they have a broad experience of working in long-term partnerships with the MOD and in many instances, with each other to deliver highly complex military and public sector programmes.
Each Partner has dedicated Defence business units with direct involvement in many of the existing business-space and Battlespace systems that will be supported and/or interface with systems running on DII(F).
