Agresso wins $3.2 billion UN agency deal

Agresso has secured a $3.2 million contract with the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations specialized agency, in a deal that represents a contract win over Microsoft.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) chose Agresso's fully integrated suite of role- and web-based enterprise resource planning systems to support administrative and financial operations in its Montreal headquarters and eventually in its regional offices in Bangkok, Cairo, Dakar, Lima, Mexico, Nairobi and Paris.

Agresso, a subsidiary of Netherlands-based Unit 4 Agresso, said that its reporting capabilities and extensive standard features were the decider for ICAO executives in head to head competition for the business against Microsoft.

Our business processes are currently driven by aging technology, which relies too heavily on manual procedures and operates on redundant and unsynchronized data, commented Dalton de Andrade, ICAO's project manager for this implementation. The new systems will reduce overall operating costs in terms of human and financial resources.

The International Civil Aviation Organization will implement the complete Agresso Business World suite, including the financial management, human resources and payroll, procurement management, project costing and billing, reporting and analytics, and business process automation modules.
