Created in 1999 by IBM, the Danish Defense uses the DeMars System - running SAP on IBM Power Servers and IBM Storage
- to manage equipment, personnel and logistics of the entire department for international missions and on the Danish Navy's ships. Under the new agreement, IBM will continuously devise new solutions to improve the efficiency of DeMars for the secure tracking and delivery of assets for the Danish Ministry.
Defense is a key focus area for IBM worldwide. Within the last few years both the Norwegian and the Swedish Armed Forces have teamed up with IBM for similar ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions.
"With this agreement Danish Defense will leverage IBM's global defense expertise, and together we will ensure that the Danish Defense's IT environment becomes even more efficient, secure, reliable and easier to manage in order to prepare Danish Defense for the future," said Preben Thalund Madsen, Partner, IBM Global Business Services Nordic.
The contract was signed in October 2010.
