Protocol signed between FCT and IGFEJ

The FCT and the Instituto de Gestão Financeira e de Equipamentos da Justiça (IGFEJ) signed a cooperation protocol on Wednesday, May 17. The partnership will allow the FCCN unit to expand its network to one of the country's main commercial datacenters. In return, it will support the interconnection of two IGFEJ datacenters and their interconnection to the Public Administration Traffic Exchange Point, at the Public Administration Shared Services Entity (ESPAP).

This partnership will allow the FCT and the IGFEJ to share resources, particularly in the areas of communication and systems. At the signing ceremony, which took place at the FCT, the president of the Foundation's Board of Directors, Paulo Ferrão, recalled that this protocol "is a good case of public cooperation". For his part, Nuno Fonseca, Director of the IGFEJ's Support Services Department, welcomed the signing of the protocol, saying that "there are many areas of mutual interest" to both institutions.

The IGFEJ's mission is to manage the financial resources of the Ministry of Justice, to manage the assets allocated to the area of justice, infrastructures and technological resources, as well as to propose the design, implementation and evaluation of computerization plans and projects, in conjunction with the Ministry's other services and bodies.
