IT and business services vendor, Logica, has secured a three year outsourcing contract with aircraft manufacturer, Airbus, to deliver application management for document management, archiving, groupware and knowledge management in some of the company’s markets like Germany and France.

Announcing the deal today, Logica’s German CEO, Torsten Straß, said the contract encompassed maintenance, service, support and projects for the further development and optimisation of the company's applications, and Logica would also act in an advisory capacity for software harmonisation.

Straß said Logica would deliver the service by leveraging its flexible blended delivery model and its expertise and experience in some of Airbus’ focal markets like Germany and France, with service delivery to be equally split between the local hubs of Hamburg and Toulouse “to maintain customer intimacy”, and from Logica’s centre in Chennai for cost effective application development and management.

“Our blended delivery model allows us to provide customers with a seamless network of international expertise and experience that can be leveraged to optimise cost and risk.  Our customers will benefit from local teams on site and from international teams that have in-depth technical expertise and experience delivering large scale outsourcing projects.
