Logica
Puts Business On the Box
 The
Business
Logica
plc is a leading international computer consultancy, systems
integration and software company. Founded in London in 1969,
Logica quickly established itself as a company that could
combine technical excellence in information systems with an
in depth understanding of its clients' business. In 1983 the
company was floated on the London Stock Exchange and continues
to attract solid support from its international investors.
Logica's clients operate across diverse markets including
finance, telecommunication, energy and utilities, computing
and electronics, space, government, defence, transport and
industry.
The company's 3,900 staff across 18 countries have completed
projects in over 50 countries worldwide.
The Challenge
Logica places great emphasis on communicating its company
direction to all staff so that the whole company shares one
vision. Dissemination of information throughout such a large
and widely distributed company was always a challenge and
Logica needed a system which would do this quickly and efficiently.
They wanted a system that would compliment what was already
in place, that would inform, involve and motivate their staff
by good use of internal communications. So they turned to
Interchange Group, a leading supplier of Information Management
Solutions, to provide its InStaNet system as part of the investment
in internal communications.
The Solution
Logica has introduced the InStaNet at ten sites around the
country, developed and installed by Interchange Group. The
system, one of the largest in the country, will keep 2,500
UK staff up to date with the latest national and international
company news, through a combination of video and computer
graphics. Logica expects the system to be a valuable addition
to its existing internal communications channels.
Interchange has supplied the hardware, software and consulting
skills to build a customised system, using
Logica's existing IT infrastructure to deliver information
from a central editing point in London to TV screens in meeting
points throughout all the UK offices. Broadcast items include
details of industry developments, company news, sales information
and a range of social events. The information is collected
and edited, and the graphics displays are designed by a System
Controller dedicated to this task. The System uses a highly
sophisticated graphics package, specifically designed to produce
attractive broadcast quality results on the company's many
television screens.
John Peberdy, Operations Support Manager at Logica, explained
that by implementing the Interchange's Information Television
System, "We will enhance Logica's internal communications,
improve teamwork and job opportunities, and help staff located
in many different parts of the country identify with the goals
of the parent company."
Ken Hodgson, Sales Director at Interchange Group, adds: "An
InStaNet System can bring a message to life more effectively
than any other medium; we all know how persuasive the television
can be, combining the impact of colour, sound and pictures
with content, into a highly believable package that speaks
to the individual. Our solution for Logica is also very fast
- material can quickly be prepared and disseminated - and
it is flexible."
"The InStaNet System we have installed at Logica delivers
information to employees with consistency and speed, meeting
the challenges of communication in a fast-moving business,
in a way that the traditional, top-down employee communication
simply cannot match."
