Avinor selects IFS for quality assurance reporting

IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that Avinor has
chosen IFS solutions for health & safety, quality assurance (QA), and risk
management to streamline HSEQ-related (health, safety, environment, and quality)
reporting. Avinor is a state-owned company that operates most of the civil
airports in Norway, including three control centers, control towers, and
technical stations. The contract includes licenses and services worth
approximately NKr 10 million.
Following Avinor’s decision to implement IFS Applications 8 in December 2012,
the company has chosen to implement the components IFS Health and Safety™, IFS
Quality Assurance™, and IFS Risk Management™. Avinor selected IFS to replace its
internally developed system after a public procurement and evaluation process.
The solution will enable Avinor to integrate mission-critical processes such as
nonconformance reporting into the overall ERP environment. Leveraging mobile
smartphone apps for field reporting and OLAP cubes for data processing, the
system will be used by some 3,900 Avinor employees working at 46 airports all
over Norway.
“We chose IFS because we wanted a consistent and user-friendly system that could
handle incident reporting, preparation of statistics, and electronic reporting
to authorities. We also wanted the ability to use such information in our risk
assessment. The solution will give us a noticeably better decision-making tool
and will improve our security-related work,” says Dag Falk-Petersen, CEO,
Avinor.
“Airport operators such as Avinor must comply with stringent regulations, making
HSEQ and nonconformance reporting crucial business processes,” IFS Scandinavia
CEO Glenn Arnesen said. “By extending its central IFS solution to include these
processes, Avinor will benefit from enhanced transparency and increased business
control.”
The IFS solution will be equipped with interfaces for Microsoft SharePoint and
mobile devices, developed by IFS technology partner Din ERP.
“Din ERP offers a highly intuitive user experience based on standardized
processes that are adapted to the individual user’s role in the value chain,”
Din ERP CEO Dagfinn Stave said. “By combining IFS Applications with our front
-end SharePoint and mobile solutions, we will be able to offer Avinor a robust
system in a familiar and user-friendly environment that promotes user efficiency
and satisfaction.”

The implementation will start immediately and is expected to be completed in
June 2014.
