Amor will offer a fully out-sourced service for the management of ASCO’s information systems, delivering a robust and flexible service that supports and reduces risk to their global logistics operation. Amor’s solution meets ASCO’s requirements and allows them to enhance the IT capability across its international operations.
The five year contract will see Amor Group offering a range of flexible IT support services, including IT infrastructure, business systems and communications support and the management of all third party IT contracts on a 24/7 basis. This will bring in new ways of working, reduce cost and optimise processes and systems.
As a leading provider of business technology solutions, the Amor Group – based in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Coventry and Houston – successfully secured the business after an extensive tendering process among UK and international competitors.
John Innes, Chief Executive Officer of Amor Group, said: “This is one of our largest ever fully-outsourced managed services contracts and we are delighted to be working with one of the world’s leading energy logistics specialists. The contract underlines our oil and gas credentials and cements our position as a leader in IT support operations for critical environments.”
Billy Allan, Group Chief Executive of ASCO added: “We are pleased to award this contract to Amor. They beat off stiff competition to secure the contract by demonstrating best value for money, a proven track record in oil and gas and a clear development path for the evolution of our information systems.
Information systems and technology are critical to our business and the way we respond to customer needs. We are confident that Amor will manage the service transition seamlessly, and provide a service that fully supports our ambitious global expansion plans.”
