Bergen Group chooses EDB ErgoGroup as an IT supplier
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Oslo, 8 December 2010) The maritime industrial group Bergen Group has entered
into an agreement with EDB ErgoGroup for the provision of IT operating and
management services for the group's core IT solutions. The agreement runs for
three years, and represents total contract value of approximately NOK 33 million
"We were attracted by EDB ErgoGroup's appreciation and understanding of our
challenges and ambitions, combined with the company's state-of-the-art solutions
and efficient delivery chains. In addition, an important factor in our
consideration was that EDB ErgoGroup has technical expertise on hand in close
physical proximity to our shipyards and office locations", says Jan T. Skaala,
IT-manager of Bergen Group.
Bergen Group is a maritime industrial group with main focus on the offshore
industry and specialised vessels. The company was established in 2007 and is a
grouping of 19 businesses in total. Bergen Group includes the key shipyards of
Rosenberg (Stavanger), Bergen Mekaniske (Bergen), Fosen (Rissa in Trøndelag) and
KIMEK (Kirkenes), together with a number of specialist engineering businesses.
"With a number of major businesses making up the group, we need streamlined and
standardised IT services that also give our organisation modern tools for
collaborative working", says Jan T. Skaala, IT-manager of Bergen Group.
The agreement with EDB ErgoGroup encompasses operating services and management
of the group's core IT solutions. EDB ErgoGroup won this contract following a
competitive bidding process involving a number of potential suppliers. The
solution will come into production in May 2011, and the delivery project will
start immediately. Bergen Group currently has around 1,000 IT users.
"This agreement with Bergen Group is an excellent example of how our diversified
customer offer makes EDB ErgoGroup just as relevant for a company with 1,000
users as for those with 10,000 users. We offer strong solutions for the SMB
market. Bergen Group has recognised this, and I am confident that many more
businesses will also recognise this in the year ahead", comments Terje Mjøs, CEO
of EDB ErgoGroup.
