Microsoft Certified Gold Partner Spanish Point Technologies is working with the Irish Defence Forces with its ongoing ICT project to deliver Information and Knowledge Online (IKON).
The enterprise-wide system, which consists of a fully integrated Web platform, will improve collaboration and provide information, knowledge, document and records management for all divisions of the Defence Forces (DF).
The Irish Defence Forces has an approved strength of 9,500 members spread across the army, naval service, air corps and the reserve defence forces.
The solution enables members of the Defence Forces to communicate effectively, regardless of their geographical location and share information and knowledge on a single unified platform. It will considerably increase productivity and deliver significant cost-savings by improving the access to timely information and therefore improving the decision making capabilities of key personnel within the organisation.
Deputy Chief of Staff Defence Forces, Rear Admiral Mark Mellet, said: “A huge amount of research and time went into this IKON project. This represents a major step forward for the Defence Forces; it will enable both improved communication for our personnel at home and overseas, and improved access to information which will enable better decision-making in a shorter timeframe, bringing about significant cost, and sometimes lifesaving efficiencies.”
John Corley, CTO, Spanish Point Technologies, said: “With the multiple divisions that exist within the Defence Forces, the multiple documents which they possess, and the multiple locations in which members are situated in, it was clear to see the requirement of the organisation. The Microsoft SharePoint and SQL server solution will enable the Defence Forces to improve work efficiencies. Our expertise in the software world in particular, with Microsoft technologies such as SharePoint, continuously allows us to meet the necessities of our customers, much like that of the Defence Forces.”
