SCHAUMBURG, Ill., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) has entered into an agreement with IFS to upgrade its existing maintenance and logistics solutions for the air force and navy to IFS Applications 7. The agreement has a maximum value of approximately $8 million.
The Norwegian Armed Forces have been an IFS customer since 1997. IFS has delivered an integrated solution for logistics, maintenance and other functions for aircraft and ships through the IMAS solution to the then Royal Norwegian Air Force Materiel Command in 1998, and the Norwegian Royal Navy Materiel Command in 2000.
The upgraded IFS solution that is to be delivered to the NDLO will include an interface to the SAP solution that is being delivered to the Norwegian Armed Forces.
"The armed forces' most complex materiel plays a crucial role in many operations, at home and abroad, and we are dependent on consistently efficient IT support. We have a positive experience of the solution from IFS and look forward to upgrading to IFS Applications 7," said Harald Bye, head of the information department at the NDLO.
"We have collaborated well with the Norwegian Armed Forces for many years, and we are very happy that they have chosen to upgrade their applications," said Glenn Arnesen, managing director of IFS Scandinavia.
Aerospace and defense is one of IFS' targeted market segments. IFS Applications includes advanced standard functionality that meets the demanding requirements of the aerospace and defense industries in respect of maintenance and materiel availability. IFS' integrated solution for product data management (PDM), fleet management, and project management, combined with the other components in IFS Applications, make it easier to operate while managing design, manufacturing and ongoing spare parts logistics throughout the product lifecycle.
IFS customers include the US, British and Norwegian defense organizations. Commercial MRO shops and operators include Finnair, Bristow Helicopters, Aero- Dienst GmbH, Hawker Pacific, and Jet Turbine Services. In addition, IFS provides solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the global defense industry such as General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, the Eurofighter consortium, BAE SYSTEMS, Saab, and GE Transportation.
