(Oslo, 22 August 2013) Statsbygg plans to upgrade its accounting and management system, and EVRY has been selected as a supplier with the Oracle e-Business suite as the chosen solution. The agreement represents total contract value of around NOK 34 million.

Statsbygg is the Norwegian government`s key advisor on construction and property affairs, building commissioner, property manager and property developer, with a real estate portfolio of around 2.7 m². Statsbygg`s objective is to provide appropriate, functional premises to public sector enterprises in a cost-effective way. In order to realise its objectives, it is essential that Statsbygg has an efficient accounting and management system that is integrated with its project management system.

EVRY has entered into an agreement with Statsbygg for an upgrade to the latest version of Oracle e-Business suite. This project will provide Statsbygg with improved management, analysis and reporting tools, which in turn will enhance the proactive management of projects and other activities. In addition, the upgrade will support Statsbygg`s migration to the new public sector chart of accounts.

"The contract with Statsbygg is an important development for EVRY, and we are proud to receive such a stamp of approval. This reflects the systematic work we have put into developing EVRY`s Oracle environment over recent years, making us the largest supplier in Norway for the Oracle e-Business Suite", comments Geir Arne Olsen, Director Public sector EVRY Norway.

In addition to this implementation, EVRY will also be responsible for leading the task of implementing a new project management system. This system will be supplied by a third party.

The agreement represents total contract value of around NOK 34 million. The new solution is due to be in production from 1 January 2015.
