LFV – Air Navigation Services of Sweden

A report found LFV needed a new flexible, configurable system to manage documents and cases, which could also replace additional systems in the future. After an extensive evaluation, LFV chose Advantum from InfoTech Scandinavia as its new case and document management system. Lars Berglund from LFV describes how the choice of Advantum was made:

– "It really involved many considerations", he explains. “The same operational information was stored in many different places within LFV, and this naturally meant greater storing costs and confusion about where the latest version was. Moreover, we needed a more efficient system and to improve how we handled classified documents. The template and drawings management was outdated and could no longer be upgraded securely. Managing operational information was also inefficient and resource intensive.

Thanks to Advantum's extensive functionality and flexibility, Advantum replaced four of LFV's systems for managing cases, documents, drawings and more.
