LogicaCMG Extends Strategic Outsourcing Partnership With InBev Into Central And Eastern Europe
LogicaCMG has extended its existing strategic partnership with InBev, the world’s largest brewer by volume, to deliver application management services across 17 countries. This extends the original EUR70 million contract LogicaCMG was awarded in June 2006 to manage InBev’s applications across eight countries in Western Europe into Central and Eastern Europe.
Under the terms of the 5.5-year contract, LogicaCMG will manage InBev’s entire European and Global Headquarters’ Business Systems across 12 time zones in Europe (including all of Russia). The contract, which covers InBev’s existing application environment in these territories, will streamline InBev’s end-to-end application management processes.
The extended contract now covers an additional nine countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Czech Republic, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania and Bulgaria. As part of the contract extension all affected staff have been offered full employment by LogicaCMG across the areas in which InBev operates.
Commenting on the contract Claudio Garcia, InBev Chief People and Technology Officer, said: “Following the successful transition of our Western European business and application services to LogicaCMG earlier this year, we will now further streamline our application services by also transferring our Central and Eastern European Business Systems to LogicaCMG. This will enable us to have a consistent approach to our application services across Europe and reduce costs while maintaining strong service levels.”
Jim McKenna, chief operating officer of LogicaCMG, said: “The extension of our outsourcing contract with InBev is further testament to LogicaCMG’s ability to leverage its value-based outsourcing and vertical sector expertise to deliver a comprehensive, high quality service to customers. As a key strategic outsourcing partner for InBev, we are using our expanded global presence and our depth of expertise to improve service delivery and reduce costs for our customer. The InBev employees joining LogicaCMG bring with them a wealth of expertise and we look forward to welcoming them to the Group.”
