The Dutch Ministry of Defense has selected a consortium of Capgemini Nederland B.V, subsidiary of the Capgemini Group, and Logica Nederland BV (Logica), subsidiary of Logica Group, an IT and business services company, to further improve materials management and logistics of international operations.

The consortium will redesign complex processes around materials management and logistics and translate these designs into an SAP-based system. In addition, the consortium will further expand previously delivered SAP modules and train employees of IVENT, the Ministry of Defenses own IT-organization functionality, to run existing SAP systems. The contract has a value in the range of tens of millions of Euros.

The new assignment of the Dutch Ministry of Defense is a follow-up to a previous assignment granted to the consortium as part of the Strategic Process and Enabled Reengineering-program (SPEER). The program focuses on improving the planning, maintenance and ordnance logistics of the Dutch armed forces. Additionally SPEER supports the creation of a new governance model and the management of information.

The consortium had already delivered the fundamental building blocks for the Finance and the Logistics domains. These building blocks form the basis for the actual realization of the functionality in both finance and logistics.

According to new contract, the consortium will provide support to the additional development of SAP functionality for materials management and logistics, the so-called Kernel 2.

The transformation and IT-program SPEER has an enormous impact on the Ministry of Defenses organization, say Stanislas Cozon, global leader of public sector at Capgemini and Haye Mensonides, managing director, Public Sector, Logica.

Therefore it can be counted as one of the major programs of the Dutch public sector. Capgemini and Logica are very proud of this follow-up assignment in the SPEER-program. We are looking forward to achieve yet another milestone together.
