RAMSEY, the Isle of Man, December 3,
2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Please
refer to relevant legal information at the end of the document
IBS Group, a leading software development and IT services
provider in Central and Eastern
Europe, announced that IBS IT Services, a member of IBS
Group, started providing integrated support to
the Moscow City Telephone
Network (MGTS) - one of Europe's largest
telecommunications companies.
The SAP-based ERP for MGTS, commissioned in 2006, is currently
used by over 1,000 people and integrates most of the company's
business processes (including accounting, HR, various kinds of
reporting, logistics, procurement, controlling, and other
functions).
The IBS IT Services expert team works in close liaison with the
client's competence center, providing remote user support and
change management at requests from users and competence center
staff (with processing deadlines specified in the service-level
agreement and enforced through a system of substantial fines). The
work of the two teams has already been completely aligned, which
considerably streamlines the consultation and decision-making
processes. The system is supported in compliance with the custom
bilateral regulations, providing for both workflow organization and
quality/quantity control of the services rendered. The regulations
are a flexible tool modifiable at any time by agreement of the
parties to meet the client's most recent needs or incorporate best
practices developed through interaction of the teams.
Dmitry Ivitsky, Director of the IBS Service Center for
Business Applications Support, comments: "A vote of
confidence from a company like MGTS for our corporate information
systems support approach means a lot to us and proves that we are
on the right track developing a business based on civilized
IT outsourcing in the Russian market. It is safe to say
now that we have successfully completed our first task with
MGTS - providing business applications
support without compromising the quality of
service - and are now methodically working
to enhance the effectiveness and performance of the supported
system, as well as its
users' experience."
In 2012, IBS Group is scheduled to launch a number of other
comprehensive outsourced ERP support projects for Russian and
international companies.
