The UK Land Registry and IBM have signed a three-year
multimillion-pound contract for Big Blue to deliver a Land Registry
e-security system for all of its web-based services.
IBM's technology will be used to protect Land Registry's web
data on property across England and Wales.
The deal will include secure user access to the organisation’s
new portal-based website, document authentication programme and a
secure system of e-signatures for Land Registry's electronic
conveyancing programme.
IBM will act as the systems integrator for the project, which
will use technology supplied by Entrust and ActivIdentity.
Ted Beardsall, deputy chief executive and director for business
development at Land Registry, said, "Land Registry places a huge
amount of importance on the reliability, robustness and security of
its IT infrastructure and systems. IBM demonstrated its committed
approach with a technical solution and value for money throughout
the procurement exercise."
There is an option to extend the contract by a further two
years.
