12-11-2009 14:37 Politie kiest Strict/VKA voor projectmanagement
De combinatie Strict/Verdonck, Klooster & Associates (VKA) heeft een raamovereenkomst getekend met vtsPN (voorziening tot samenwerking Politie Nederland) voor de inzet van project- en programmamanagers op het gebied van ict. De raamovereenkomst heeft een looptijd van maximaal vier jaar.

Met het sluiten van de raamovereenkomst tussen vtsPN en Strict/VKA, mag de combinatie als voorkeursleverancier personeel leveren aan zowel vtsPN als aan een groot aantal politiekorpsen. Het gaat dan om project- en programmanagers en projectleiders.

Het contract is tot stand gekomen via een Europese aanbesteding van vtsPN, waarop twintig marktpartijen hadden ingetekend. Uiteindelijk is het contract gegund aan drie mantelpartijen: naast Strict/VKA gaat het om Capgemini en Logica.

Naar schatting (op basis van de afname van 2008) zal de politie jaarlijks voor 238.000 uur inhuren aan project- en programmamanagement. De omzet hieruit bedraagt bij benadering zo'n twintig miljoen euro

Politie wil ruim 1,8 miljoen uur inhuren
De politie is nog steeds afhankelijk van extern ingehuurde ict'ers. Ict-organisatie vtsPN (voorziening tot samenwerking Politie Nederland) heeft de gunningen bekendgemaakt van een nieuwe raamopdracht met een geschatte omvang van 1,848 miljoen uur per jaar. Dat is gebaseerd op het aantal uren dat de organisatie in 2008 aan ict-personeel inhuurde. Destijds leverde dat een kostenpost van 150,9 miljoen euro op. Voor zes percelen zijn in totaal elf verschillende partijen aangetrokken.

De vtsPN is een samenwerkingsorganisatie van de politieregio's (inclusief het Korps Landelijke Politiediensten) die de gemeenschappelijke ict-voorzieningen regelt en de gezamenlijke inkoop verzorgt. Aanleiding voor de Europese aanbesteding van ict-dienstverlening is het aflopen van het bestaande raamcontract. De nieuwe raamovereenkomst heeft een looptijd van twee jaar met de optie van verlenging van tweemaal één jaar.

De vtsPN stelt in de begeleidende documenten dat het onder andere als taak heeft een landelijk gestandaardiseerde ict-architectuur voor de politie te realiseren, met daarbinnen tal van specialisaties. De organisatie heeft echter, hoewel het zo'n 1800 eigen medewerkers telt, te weinig expertise in huis om de werkzaamheden zelf uit te voeren. De vtsPN constateert dat het een beroep moet doen op de tijdelijke inhuur van externe medewerkers, omdat het aanbod vanuit de arbeidsmarkt te krap is om zelf voldoende specialisten binnen te halen. Dit geldt voor zowel de nog niet ingevulde vaste formatieplaatsen als voor (nieuwe) projecten en de opvang van piekbelastingen.

GunningenDe vtsPN schat in dat het voor de komende twee jaar (met een optie tot verlenging met tweemaal één jaar) op jaarbasis 1,848 miljoen uur aan inhuur nodig heeft. Daarvan nemen de politiekorpsen 10 procent af. Deze geschatte omvang is gebaseerd op het aantal uren dat in 2008 is ingehuurd. Uit het jaarverslag van de vtsPN blijkt dat de organisatie vorig jaar 150,9 miljoen euro kwijt was aan externe personeelslasten. Omgerekend betekent dit een gemiddelde uurprijs van 81,67 euro.

De ict-organisatie van de Nederlandse politie kampt al langer met het probleem van torenhoge inhuurlasten. Het eerste half jaar van 2009 huurde de vtsPN voor 77 miljoen euro in. Er lopen ruim duizend extern ict'ers rond. Bovendien kampte de vtsPN met een rammelende administratie waardoor een goed overzicht op het inhuren van ict-personeel ontbrak. De organisatie zoekt uit welke diensten het de komende jaren het beste kan bemensen met interne medewerkers en welke met extern personeel. De vtsPN was nog niet in staat een reactie te geven op de vraag of al duidelijk is geworden hoe het de inhuur wil terugdringen.

Gegunde percelen
De aanbesteding voor het inhuren van mantelpartners bestaat uit zes percelen. Die zijn als volgt gegund, met daarbij aangegeven het aantal ingeschatte uren die vtsPN denkt af te nemen van de mantelpartijen en een globale waarde op basis van het gemiddelde uurtarief:

- Systeemontwikkeling (300.000 uur; 24,5 miljoen euro): Atos Origin, Capgemini, Inter Access, Logica, Ordina
- Technisch beheer, infrastructuurontwikkeling en onderhoud (650.000 uur; 53,1 miljoen euro): Atos Origin, Capgemini, Logica, Ordina, T2
- Testen, beveiliging en kwaliteitsbewaking (80.000 uur; 6,5 miljoen euro): Capgemini, Ordina, VX/Jenrick
- Broker/makelaar & payroll-constructies (500.000 uur; 40,1 miljoen euro): IT Staffing Bariton, Logica, Source Automation
- Programma- en projectmanagement, projectleiding & implementatie (238.000 uur; 19,4 miljoen euro): Capgemini, Logica en Strict/VKA
- Projectbegeleiding en projectondersteuning (80.000 uur; 6,5 miljoen euro): Capgemini, Conclusion, Logica

Logica finalist at The Economist's Carbon Economy Summit
16 November 2009
The Economist recognizes Logica’s emission monitoring solution as one of ten game-changing solutions to combat climate change

The emission monitoring solution, ‘EMO’ developed by Logica, a leading IT and business services company was recognized by The Economist as one of ten game-changing solutions to combat climate change. Logica has been invited to present the solution at The Economist’s Carbon Economy Summit in Washington DC. ‘EMO’ was identified by The Economist as an innovative solution that can improve energy efficiency and make a positive impact on the carbon economy.

EMO is a real-time monitoring system of vehicular emissions that uses a plug-in device that connects to the onboard computer of the vehicle and wirelessly transmits the emission values from the vehicle to the central office. Emission data from EMO is used to provide differential fuel pricingto drivers. The solution enables gas stations to offer prices tailored to individual vehicles and associated driving behaviours, and therefore incentivizes ‘greener’ driving behaviours. If the driving behaviour is green, the fuel is priced lower and conversely if the driving behaviour is poor. “This is just another example of collaborative innovation which is an integral part ofLogica’s culture and role in bringing consumers, legislatures, businesses and breakthrough technologies together in an ecosystem that can address important issues such as climate change,” said Amanda Mesler, Chief Executive - Logica North America. Read more about the EMO solution and view the EMO video.

Commenting on the recognition, GBS Bindra, Global Innovation Director at Logica, who will present the solution and its benefits on November 18, 2009 at the summit said, “We are absolutely delighted with this prestigious recognition from The Economist. EMO is truly a solution that can help every individual make a positive impact on climate change. We are working with governments, regulatory bodies and retail oil companies in a collaborative framework to create an ecosystem where EMO, coupled with progressive policy-making, drives the overall societal good.”

The Economist’s Carbon Economy Summit takes place November 17-18, 2009 in Washington DC.

Novell, Inc. partners with Logica for bringing combined governance, risk and compliance offering with SAP
18 November 2009
Novell, Inc. and Logica Management Consulting, the consulting arm of leading IT and business services company, Logica, today announced their partnership for bringing a combined governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) offering with SAP to the market. The partnership, announced at the SAP GRC 2009 Conference this week, enables Logica, to provide an enterprise-wide risk management approach. Both Novell and Logica are SAP-certified partners.

Regulatory requirements and financial market pressures increase with firms’ necessity of transparency about risk management. Today, the IT infrastructure is a mass of incompatible systems with unique risk controls and policies, making compliance and risk management complex, time-consuming and costly. To address this issue, Novell, SAP and Logica are collaborating on the integration of GRC solutions that deliver the following:

Performance - by improving predictability and automating and enforcing common controls while providing transparency to business processes across the enterprise
Assurance - by lowering overall risk and increasing external and internal compliance
Simplification - by eliminating resource silos and inefficiencies and by automating the process of discovering and remediating high-risk business problems
Logica helps clients to implement three main modules of SAP GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) - Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management. Logica is the first worldwide partner of SAP on SAP GRC solution, except for external auditors. These SAP modules enable companies to centralize information coming from applicative environments in order to bring in transparency on company-related risks. Integrating risk management and process control into information systems enables a centralized and transverse procedure, placing risk management at the heart of business processes. This systematic procedure will ensure real time monitoring of risks resulting in the ability to identify key risk indicators before an incident occurs.

Commenting on the partnership Markus J. Krauss, Vice President Identity & Security Management, Novell EMEA said "We are delighted to work closely with Logica on bringing a combined GRC offering for SAP customers to the market. This offering includes integrated governance, risk and compliance solutions to help bridge the gap between business processes and IT security and controls.

We are committed to maximize the leverage of our customer´s SAP investments.”

Logica Wins Green “Business Travel” Award
18 November 2009
Logica’s environmental travel strategy rewarded in business accolade

Logica, a leading IT and business services company, announced that it has been named a winner of the Business Green Awards in the category of Business Travel. The award recognises leadership in low carbon mobility and companies undertaking progressive travel practices that have realised real reductions in Greenhouse Gas (GHG). Logica was also highly commended in the “Emissions Reduction, Achievement and Ambition” category and a finalist in the “Emissions Reporting and Accounting” awards category.

Supported by ENDS, ENDSCarbon and Management Today, the Green Business awards recognise the work done by UK businesses to implement innovative and ambitious initiatives to achieve environmental sustainability.

The accolade was awarded to Logica for the introduction of a series of measures to reduce business travel-related carbon emissions. A target was set to reduce absolute GHG emissions from travel by 3.3% per annum from 2006 to 2010. However having achieved this two years earlier, Logica has now increased the target to 6% per annum from 2008 with the aim of halving emissions by 2020.

Other factors leading to Logica’s success in this category, was the implementation of processes to encourage staff to use non-travel methods for meetings. It increased its spending on video, audio, live meeting, web-streaming, mobile telephony and office communicator technologies to £1m a year with usage of these non-travel communication technologies increasing rapidly over the past three years. Total users rose by 225% from 2006 to 2008. Logica also introduced smart working policies, including arrangements for employees to work from home to avoid commuting.

Logica also managed to cut its total business travel significantly over this period. Air travel fell from over 18.5 million miles in 2006 to 11 million miles in 2008 and car travel was reduced from over 16 million miles to just over 9 million miles in 2009. Pam Chase, UK HR Director and Chair of the UK Environmental Steering Committee, at Logica, commented: “We are delighted to have been recognised by the Green Business Awards. Our carbon reduction efforts have allowed us to switch to greener travel methods. Key to this success was the implementation of conferencing technologies by Managing Information Systems and Knowledge Management and the embedding of smart working, helping to cut travel by 24% per employee in 2 years and saving £7m in the process.”

Commenting on Logica’s approach to business through sustainable services, she added: “Logica continues to be a practitioner of sustainable technologies and an organisation that strives to reduce its carbon footprint whilst enabling its clients to achieve its business goals. Our leadership position demonstrates that industries can enable sustainable prosperity by sharing our experience; learning’s and tools to help every business reduce its global environmental imprint.”

This award follows on from a series of other sustainability awards including Logica being recognised as one of the UK’s top 20 Best Green Companies in the Sunday Times awards in 2008 and 2009. Other accolades include Logica confirmed as a leading IT Services company globally on the Carbon Disclosure Project Climate Leadership Index and ranked 3rd in Europe on the Black Book of Green Outsourcing.

19 November 2009

Swedish make-up brand enlisted Logica to implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV and LS Retail to effectively manage its growing supply chain.

Make Up Store is a leading make-up brand in Sweden founded in Stockholm by Mika Liias less than a decade ago. Today it is one of the fastest growing companies in Scandinavia, with over 130 shops in 20 countries. On average, its opens up two to four new stores every month.
Inevitably, this positive development has created new demand for control over the product supply chain. Such expansion involves changing needs and requirements, with new challenges appearing at the same rate as the company grows. Culture and legislation varies from one part of the world to another and all such elements must be taken into account.

“We needed an effective tool to manage our supply-chain,” says the company’s CFO Kerstin Karphed. “Therefore, we looked for a total solution that would give us the means to control things centrally yet would be flexible to use in stores in business environments around the world – a solution that could be used all the way for the chain, from the supplier through the stock and POS to the customer.”

After a careful selection process, Make Up Store selected Microsoft Dynamics NAV together with the retail solution LS Retail to meet its needs. UK-based IT and business services company Logica supplied, set up and installed the systems.

“Together with LS Retail, Microsoft Dynamics NAV reaches a completely new level,” says Anders Enström at Logica. “Together, the two make an unbeatable solution for retail. This combination of two systems, each one a leader in its area, provides a comprehensive solution: the NAV financial system with all its strengths and then LS Retail with all the retail specific functionality. The POS functionality automatically updates the inventory when a product is sold, which again generates order proposals for new purchase orders. This ensures optimal balance of capital tied up in inventory and orders and minimal risk of empty shelves in the stores. Ordering levels are based on detailed information about each specific product.”

With the new system, Make Up Store can extract a large variety of data to analyse purchasing behaviour and customers, giving a solid basis for good strategic decision-making. Additionally, Microsoft Dynamics NAV together with LS Retail now gives the company a central overview of processes. The tools it now has for shrinkage control and detailed handling of returns, for example, makes it easier to assess why a particular item is returned more often than it should be. “The solution gives us huge benefits,” says Karphed. “There is an enormous amount of information to retrieve and we can create all kinds of reports to draw important policy conclusions.”

So far Logica has installed Microsoft Dynamics NAV and LS Retail in Make Up Stores across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Canada, the US, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Russia and Lithuania. More countries are expected to be added to this list soon and under its ongoing contract, Logica will continue to streamline Make Up Store’s stock handling in the broadest sense through support, management and development.

Logica wint tender e-facturen
Logica gaat vijf ministeries ondersteunen bij het elektronisch bestellen en factureren. Daarvoor heeft de automatiseerder een raamovereenkomst van een jaar met maximaal zes keer een verlenging van een maand gesloten met het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties (BZK). Het contract heeft een geraamde waarde van 3,2 miljoen euro. BZK coördineert ook nog een rijksbrede aanbesteding voor het inrichten van een elektronisch inkoopplatform.

Het interdepartementale programma EBF (Elektronisch Bestellen en Factureren) voorziet in brede geautomatiseerde inkoopmogelijkheden voor de ministeries. Voor de ict-ondersteuning loopt een aanbesteding (EBF2 genaamd). Medio 2010 zullen de eerste resultaten van dit programma beschikbaar komen.

Een aantal ministeries beschikt echter al over een aantal e-procurementvoorzieningen. Het betreft de ministeries van Defensie, OCW, V&W, VWS en Financiën. De ondersteuning hiervan loopt eind 2009 af. Om de bestaande dienstverlening te continueren is na een aanbesteding Logica aangetrokken. Die dienstverlener levert ondersteunende diensten totdat het nieuwe EBF-programma is afgerond.

AanjagenHet ministerie van Economische Zaken stelde vorig jaar een 'ambassadeur e-facturen' aan in de persoon van Marco Pastors om de overstap naar elektronisch factureren bij overheidsinstellingen te versnellen. De overheid ontvangt 10,5 miljoen facturen per jaar. Pastors wil dat in 2010 tien procent van de inkomende facturen van de overheid digitaal kan worden afgehandeld.

In april van dit jaar tekenen de overheid (de drie staatssecretarissen Bussemaker van VWS, De Jager van Financiën en Heemskerk van Economische Zaken), VNO-NCW, MKB Nederland, ICT~Office, de Manifestgroep (van Uitvoeringsorganisaties van de overheid), en de Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten een convenant ter bevordering van het gestructureerd elektronisch factureren tussen markt en overheid.

Logica en COIN optimaliseren nummerportabiliteit
03 december 2009
Overzetten telefoonnummers voortaan accurater door nieuw systeem voor telecomaanbieders

COIN, het samenwerkingsverband van alle in Nederland actieve telecombedrijven, en ICT-dienstverlener Logica hebben onlangs een nieuw en verbeterd platform voor nummerportabiliteit gelanceerd. Met dit nieuwe systeem wordt het proces van het overzetten van een nummer van de ene naar de andere provider verder geoptimaliseerd. Het overzetten van nummers verloopt hiermee sneller en met een kleinere foutenmarge.

Daarnaast introduceert Logica M-PRES, de opvolger van T-PRES. Dit nieuwe systeem slaat de brug tussen de interne systemen van de telecomproviders en alle centraal geregelde processen binnen COIN. Met M-PRES kunnen de processen rond lijn- en nummerportabiliteit eenvoudig worden uitgevoerd. Handmatig met de zogeheten Grafische User Interface (GUI) of geautomatiseerd met een uitgebreid scala aan aanvullende programma’s. Hierdoor kunnen lijn- en nummerportabiliteitsprocessen optimaal aangesloten worden op de interne werkprocessen, ook als COIN het protocol, zoals de taal of proces, verandert. Doordat de invoer van nieuwe gegevens direct wordt gecontroleerd is de kans op fouten veel kleiner. Vervolgens is er direct inzage in de status van een wijziging, waardoor klanten beter kunnen worden geholpen.

Cees Pannekoek, directeur van de Vereniging COIN: ‘Met het centrale platform dat samen met Logica is gebouwd faciliteren we al heel veel telecomproviders. Met deze upgrade zal het proces van nummerportabiliteit sneller en met minder fouten kunnen worden doorlopen. We streven ernaar alle providers eind juni 2011 overgezet te hebben op het nieuwe systeem.’

‘De aansluiting van het platform op M-PRES maakt het mogelijk om geheel custom made oplossingen te bieden’ volgens Rob Leijn, Managing Director Energy, Utilities and Telecom bij Logica. ‘Met gebruik van deze technologie kunnen telecomproviders hun nummer- en lijnportabiliteit sneller en nauwkeuriger uitvoeren.’

Logica,
Het Centraal Justitieel Incassobureau (CJIB) heeft naast Ordina ook Logica, BT, Atos Origin, Capgemini en Sogeti aangetrokken als it-dienstverleners. Het zijn mantelpartners voor de percelen ict-exploitatie en systeemontwikkeling. Het derde perceel van de grote aanbesteding, de makelaarsfunctie, is nog niet afgerond. Het CJIB verwacht de komende vijf jaar voor 85 miljoen euro aan ict-diensten te moeten inhuren.

De aanbesteding van ict-diensten die het CJIB dit jaar uitschreef, bestaat uit drie percelen: exploitatie, systeemontwikkeling (inhuur en projecten) en een makelaarsfunctie. Voor het eerste perceel (exploitatie) heeft de uitvoeringsorganisatie Logica, Ordina en BT geselecteerd. De geraamde waarde voor dit perceel de komende vijf jaar is vijftien miljoen euro.

Als mantelpartijen van het tweede perceel (ontwikkeling) zijn Atos Origin, Capgemini, Logica, Ordina en Sogeti gekozen. CJIB denkt in de periode 2010-2014 voor zestig miljoen euro aan opdrachten weg te zetten.

Het derde perceel, de makelaarsfunctie, is nog niet gegund. De omvang hiervan is tien miljoen euro.

AfvalllerHet CJIB werkt al met voorkeursleveranciers die na een aanbesteding zijn geselecteerd. Dat zijn Atos Origin, BT, Capgemini, Centric, Logica en Sogeti. De raamcontracten met deze partijen lopen eind 2009 af. Ten opzichte van de nieuwe selectie is Centric afgevallen en Ordina nieuwkomer, tenzij Centric nog het makelaarsperceel wint.

De uitvoeringsorganisatie met ruim duizend medewerkers, voorziet dat het de komende jaren veel hulp van marktpartijen nodig heeft door de vernieuwing van de informatiehuishouding. Het CJIB krijgt er steeds meer (innings)taken bij, ook voor andere overheden dan het ministerie van Justitie.
