IT and business services provider Logica has renewed its agreement with the Swedish Defence Material Administration, or FMV, to provide outsourcing services for FMV’s IT operations. The order value of the new agreement amounts to approximately E16m.

The parties signed an extensive outsourcing agreement in 2006 which is now being extended two years, with the option for an additional year extension.

FMV procures material for the Swedish total defence system. It identifies, develops and supplies technically advanced equipment. FMV cooperates with industry, the total defence organization and civil authorities, nationally and internationally.

Logica will deliver application operations, server operations, communications services, WAN-LAN, service desk and desktop lifecycle management.

Fredrik Ahlstedt, managing director of infrastructure management for Logica at Sweden, said: The new agreement is a continuation of our favorable and long-term cooperation with FMV. Together, we have successfully found solutions that have been a support for development of operations in a time when FMV has implemented major changes. We look forward to working with FMV and a long-term cooperation.
