Technical requirements: The Brønnøysund Register Center intends to enter into a contract with Microsoft Norge AS for strategic digital consultancy services and consultancy support for the latest Microsoft technology in order to support the Brønnøysund Register Centre's innovation programme and work with digital transformation.
The programme is managed by a digital consultant who will provide strategic consultancy services for the use of Microsoft's framework. The framework agreement will maximise the business value by using Microsoft's platforms and products and will be used to identify and prioritise concrete options, plan realisation and ensure value realisation.
Through the programme, the Brønnøysund Register Centre will have access to Microsoft's knowledge databases, which are based on Microsoft's experiences from world wide customer engagement. Several reference architectures have been developed, which are available for the programme and which have been evaluated and approved by a formal management committee consisting of Microsoft's product development groups and a consultant organisation. Best practice recommendations are available for reuse in order to accelerate the deliveries in the engagement.
The programme gives access to experts in Microsoft (Subject Matter Experts, SME), who cooperate with Microsoft's product groups and other units in the company. This ensures the best possible insight into architectures that can support migrations to future systems and versions. These experts can also contribute to proof of concepts, pilots and implementations, in order to accelerate innovation and the digital transformation in the Brønnøysund Register Centre's services.
One year contract with a unilateral option for Brønnøysund Register Centre to extend the contract for 1+1+1 year. This means that the contract can maximum run for 4 years.
The estimated value is between 2 000 000 and 4 000 000 NOK over the entire contract period including options (total 4 years).
