Techstep signs SmartControl and SmartDevice agreement for 3,000 users with Norwegian
[Oslo, 25 May 2022]. Techstep has signed a new agreement with existing customer Norwegian Air Shuttle, Norway's largest airline, to provide Techstep’s managed mobility solution SmartControl and SmartDevice to 3,000 users in Norway and Denmark.
SmartControl is a managed software solution that provides the capability to precisely configure mobile devices according to the customers’ needs and policies, such as user profiles, apps, and remote management of the mobile device.
SmartDevice is a mobile device lifecycle solution, offering end-to-end handling of mobile hardware using Techstep’s own software to manage procurement, service, and safe, environmentally friendly return of mobiles and tablets.
The agreement is set to reduce Norwegian’s IT costs and complexity, in addition to helping the company reach its sustainability goals by allowing for safe reuse or recycling of their used mobile devices. Norwegian will deploy a number of apps for flight administration and crew handling, as well as aircraft maintenance and other areas, contributing to Norwegian’s goal of replacing today’s paper-based processes with digital interactive task handling.
“We are very pleased to see that Norwegian continue to find trust in Techstep’s managed mobility services solutions. This agreement will support them in their stated “Digital Shift” strategy by improving flexibility and accessibility of technology at the workplace.”, says Techstep's Chief Revenue Officer, Gunnar Aasen.
Techstep estimates a total contract value of around NOK 14 million, with an initial contract period of two years.
