Indra Wins OCCAR Life Management System Contract
28.06.2012 Europe
Indra has signed a framework agreement with the European agency OCCAR (Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation) to implement a logistics information and defense program life cycle management system.
The first order from this framework agreement, which will last until 2022, is to develop the information management system of the Tiger helicopter project and the common functions of the solution. The agency will progressively extend the system to incorporate other programs.
Indra competed with the leading companies in the sector in the international open tender for this framework agreement. This award has strengthened the company's position as a supplier of IT solutions for logistics management systems in the international market.
The solution is developed for the programs under OCCAR’s responsibility. This means that it will give services to all countries involved in them.
The main processes it will cover are technical event management, engineering support, spare part analysis, equipment configuration control and the maintenance and integration of systems.
This will enable OCCAR to share information with the countries that have participated in the multinational programs it manages, such as the Tiger helicopter, in an agile and precise manner.
Accordingly, the armed forces of these countries will obtain maximum performance from the platforms and systems they acquire, achieve maximum operability and slightly reduce their maintenance costs.
Indra's management system also incorporates a Business Intelligence module that provides reports, indicators and other functions to aid strategic analysis and decision making. This will rationalize usage of the systems and their maintenance costs.
The solution proposed by Indra is based on a modular and scalable SOA (Service-oriented Architecture) approach with a flexible data model based on the PLCS (Product Life Cycle Support) standard, with a high integration capacity. The main commercial products used are IBM Maximo Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for the integration of services.
Indra's strategy to compete in the international market is based on a commitment to develop its own solutions. This approach and its 20 years of experience in the development of similar systems have enabled it to win this major project for the OCCAR.
