Eltel extends IFS solution
Eltel, one of the Nordic region’s leading companies within electricity, telecom and IT infrastructure, has chosen to expand its investment in the IFS Applications suite to streamline processes, modernize its technological platform, and replace a number of supplementary systems. The agreement has a value of SKr 17.5 million.
Finnish Eltel is a full-service provider of high-quality services, mainly within electricity, telecom and IT. During the last ten years, the company has been running an IFS service solution that covers business-critical processes such as work orders, purchasing, project management, and financials. The agreement between the Eltel Group and IFS is a continuation of the two companies’ long-standing cooperation, as well as a functional extension of the solution. With the investment, Eltel aims to streamline and modernize its operations.
“The IFS Applications business system is central to our operations. Our company is a flat organization that performs quick service tasks as well as large projects, making it important for employees—especially those who interact with our customers—to have access to the right information and make the right decision at any given moment. This investment is another step in Eltel’s strategy to create a more customer-oriented organization, and the business system is one of the tools that will secure our leading position within the Infranet industry,” said Thomas Strandberg, CIO, Eltel Group.
“We are pleased by Eltel’s continuing trust in our solution and competence. Efficient solutions for service and maintenance represent a long-term strategic focus for IFS. We understand the importance of having access to the right information when interacting with customers. The business system is an essential tool for creating the best possible customer experience. With our extensive industry experience, we look forward to supporting Eltel’s continued growth in an exciting and dynamic market,” said Glenn Arnesen, CEO, IFS Scandinavia.
