ProRail selects Ordina for SAP management
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ordina strengthens its market position in logistics market by winning seven-year
contract
Nieuwegein, the Netherlands, 21 September 2011
ProRail and Ordina have signed a contract under which Ordina will be responsible
for the full management of all of ProRail's SAP systems for the next seven
years, starting 1 October 2011. These systems provide primary support to
ProRail's financial and logistical processes.
"Asset management is one of ProRail's core activities. Following on from this,
adequate management of the SAP systems is crucial to the ICT infrastructure. But
we are also going to have to cut costs. Ordina's proposal for services combined
these two aspects," said Henk Bothof, ProRail's ICT Services Director.
With this contract, Ordina will further strengthen its position in the logistics
market. "We are proud to add ProRail to our list of logistical clients, which
already include Belgian Railways, Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam Airport
Schiphol," said Stépan Breedveld, CEO of Ordina, when the contract was signed
(see photograph). "It also confirms to us that we are operate at the top of
market with our SAP activities. It is no coincidence that Ordina has the status
of Special Expertise Partner, for both Application Management Service Provider
and for Hosting. What is more, SAP has recently awarded us the title of 'Best
Certified Partner'."
"Our ambition is to build a substantial position in a number of specific
segments of the Industry market over and above our activities in the Public and
Finance markets. Carriers & Mainports is such a segment," added Breedveld. "From
a European perspective, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp, for instance, play a
key role in the international supply chain to the European hinterland. In the
Benelux, we carry out projects for a number of organisations that have a
prominent position in passenger and goods transport, distribution and port
operations."
