Steria has announced the signature of a contract with Norway Post, to support their major IT modernization program in order to change their entire systems portfolio as well as streamlining business process across all business units and subsidiaries.
The contract will run for 3 years and will involve over 30 consultants in Norway. Under the terms of the contract, Steria will act as project leaders, developers of functional and technical architectures as well as acceptance test leaders. The new streamlined IT systems portfolio will to a large extent be based on market leading 3rd party software solutions. Steria will support in development of requirements and selection of solutions as well as design for integration into a coherent architecture.
Over the past years, Norway Post –which develops and delivers postal services, communications and logistics – has been facing new challenges like most postal organizations in the market. The former monopoly position of the company has come to an end under new regulations and liberalization of the mail delivery market. Moreover, the company has encountered a drastic drop of traditional mail volumes.
In order to reach critical mass and to turn Norway Post into a highly competitive logistics company in an open market, the Group has acquired over the last decade several logistics companies in the Nordic countries. The objective of this modernization program is to transform both the business operations and the IT portfolio into one coherent solution for the entire Norway Post Group.
Steria consultants will work closely with Norway Post’s own program participants and act as the extended arm of the customer.
