Cap Gemini Ernst & Young signs € 5 million
Applications Management Agreement with Swedish Nuclear Power
Plants
Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Sverige AB
has signed a five-year Applications Management agreement with
four Swedish nuclear power plants and the nuclear safety and
training company KSU. The deal is valued to approximately
€ 5 million.
Stockholm, Sweden – February 18, 2002 -- Management and IT
consulting firm Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Sverige AB (CGE&Y)
has during the last fifteen years been a subcontractor to
ABB, delivering Applications Management services (support,
maintenance, enhancement and evolution) to four of Sweden’s
nuclear power plants. Ringhals, Oskarshamn, Forsmark, Barsebäck
and nuclear safety and training company KSU, all a part of
the so called SAG committee have, with ABB’s understanding,
chosen to collaborate directly with CGE&Y within the next
five-year period.
The new agreement comprises support for the management of
each plant’s so called “Operation Support System” (OSS), an
advanced real-time system that is mainly used as an instrument
for surveillance of the operational management of the plants.
The CGE&Y Applications Management commitment will to a
large extent be dedicated to the enhancement of the systems.
Bengt Olsson, Chairman of the SAG committee states: “By utilizing
cutting edge competence within Cap Gemini Ernst & Young
we are now aiming to further enhance our existing OSS’. Our
goal is partly to extend the systems’ useful life with approximately
ten years, partly to also continuously and successively, in
an adequate and best possible way, adjust the systems to other
changes within the plants. We are convinced that our new agreement
will help us achieve our goal in a cost efficient and safe
manner.
