Logica to implement and develop new Enterprise Resource Planning system and HR solutions for City of Vantaa
Logica, a leading IT and business services company, has announced that it will provide the City of Vantaa with a new ERP and HR solution called Public-One. This SAP-based branch solution also covers the electronic processing, circulation and filing of Vantaa’s purchase invoices. Through this project, Vantaa aims to revamp the information systems of the financial, HR and purchasing functions of the city, while further developing the related service production, control and management.
The City of Vantaa has more than 190,000 inhabitants, and the administration and services branch of the city employs around 11,000 people. The new ERP system will replace several old, distinct systems. In the first phase, Vantaa’s current financial IT system will be renewed so that the new functionalities will be available in the beginning of 2009. The whole project delivery will be completed by the end of 2010.
As part of the contract, Logica will implement the ERP system and adapt it to the municipal requirements; in addition, the company will provide customer support, maintenance and operating services for the City of Vantaa. The processing, circulation and filing of Vantaa’s purchase invoices will be seamlessly integrated as part of the new information system.
The town has set an array of important development objectives for this long-term project. Martti Lipponen, deputy mayor of the City of Vantaa, comments: “Our customer-oriented operations require extremely user-friendly and up-to-date information systems. Through this project, we will optimise our operating models and processes, so that we can offer more cost-effective services. At the same time, we need to recognise the challenges created by the ageing population and the lack of human resources. By deploying innovative IT solutions and by using electronic services, we will ensure the continuity and optimum levels of our services. The extensive ERP project now underway is an important step for us in fulfilling our agreed objectives.”
Tapio Volanen, Managing Director of Logica’s SAP business practice in Finland, comments: “Logica and the City of Vantaa have been working together for a long time. Our broadening and deepening co-operation shows that the City of Vantaa highly rates our expertise and considers us as a trusted business partner. This new project gives us another opportunity to prove our strengths and well suited resources. Logica’s international SAP expertise and our blended delivery model enable us to deliver parts of the implementation through the experts in our offshore locations.”
Logica has around 3,000 SAP consultants within its own international expert network around the world.
