Sonaca is active in the development, manufacturing and assembly of advanced aerospace structures for civil, military and space markets. It realizes a turnover of about 360 million euro, has production facilities in Europe, China, North-America and South-America, and employs over 2,500 people. Sonaca is a privileged partner of the Airbus consortium and Embraer. The company is a front runner in terms of investments in new technologies and in human expertise in the aeronautical field. Sonaca’s strategic plan is very ambitious aiming at doubling its turnover in five years’ time.
After publishing an RFI (Request for Information) at the beginning of 2015, Sonaca published a RFP (Request for Proposal) in May 2015, already indicating that a team of ICT collaborators were to be transferred to the outsourcing service provider and that cost savings of at least 25% were to be realized. Moreover, KPI’s were set forward to be applied for measuring the optimization of the ICT services to be delivered.
“NRB and Sonaca have signed a contract, worth 14 million euro, covering the period from 2016 up and till 2020. It involves the management of the workstations, the systems, SAP BC, the network, the service desk and their datacenter“, describes Ulrich Penzkofer, CEO of NRB.
