Norwegian airport operator Avinor consolidates with IFS Applications 8

IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that Avinor, a state
-owned limited company that operates most of the civil airports in Norway, has
chosen IFS Applications™ 8 to consolidate and streamline its business processes.
The contract includes licenses and services worth NKr 11.5 million.
Avinor needed a central ERP solution to manage and control its varied business
processes over a network of 46 airports all over Norway. After a public
procurement and evaluation process, Avinor selected IFS Applications to replace
Oracle Financials. IFS Applications is already deployed as the central ERP
system at Avinor-owned Oslo Airport, the main airport in Norway, which will
become an integrated part of the new implementation.

The IFS solution includes functionality to support processes within financials,
business analysis, e-invoicing, procurement, project management, and time
reporting. The solution also offers user interfaces integrated with web-based
public procurement portals. IFS Applications will be used by approximately 3,000
Avinor employees working at airports all over the country.

“Our main objective is to streamline our business-critical processes with one
central ERP solution,” said Helge Clem, Vice president, Corporate Business
Support and Shared Services, Avinor. “IFS presented us with a comprehensive and
scalable solution that best corresponded to our requirements. By consolidating
key processes such as financials and procurement on a single platform, we will
maximize the efficiency and transparency of our operations while minimizing the
total cost of ownership.”

“We are very pleased to welcome Avinor as a customer and we look forward to a
long and productive business relationship,” IFS Scandinavia CEO Glenn Arnesen
said. “With IFS Applications 8 as its central platform, Avinor will benefit from
leaner business processes and enhanced control throughout its multi-site
organization.”

The implementation will start in January, 2013 and is expected to be completed
in January, 2014.
