Volvo IT and business system supplier IBS have signed an agreement making it possible for IBS’ customers to allow Volvo IT responsibility for operating their business systems.

The partnership means that operational services from Volvo IT are included in IBS’ complete solution including software, consultancy services, infrastructure, operation, maintenance and financing.

“With Volvo IT as a partner, IBS can offer the market a unique solution - global as well as local - that delivers operations management and flexible capacity services,” says P-A Freiholtz, Vice President IBS Nordics.
