Contract win

Intercede is pleased to announce the award of a contract with a major US aerospace and defense contractor. This is in addition to the contract with a European aerospace company announced on 25 September 2013.

With this latest contract, Intercede’s MyID software will be trusted to manage the identity credentials of more than 500,000 employees across four of the six largest global aerospace and defense contractors, working in some of the world’s most security sensitive environments.

This contract will contribute to revenues in the current financial period and beyond. The average period of revenue generating engagement with a new Intercede customer exceeds five years.

Richard Parris, Chief Executive and Chairman of Intercede, said: “It is significant that yet another major aerospace and defense company has chosen to invest a major part of its identity and authentication strategy in Intercede’s technology. This is a tremendous reinforcement of our market leading position in the cybersecurity ecosystem and is indicative of our growth trajectory”.

Following yesterday’s CBI Conference, Regional Director Lucy Haynes said: “The CBI campaigns to ensure the UK government provides the support necessary to enable medium-sized businesses, such as Intercede, to thrive in export markets around the world. Intercede already generates over 80% of its revenues in overseas markets and is a prime example for ambitious firms who want to grow.”
