LONDON, Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IFS, the leading enterprise cloud and Industrial AI software provider, today announced that AERO Vodochody AEROSPACE (Aero), the largest aircraft manufacturer in the Czech Republic and one of the oldest aircraft manufacturers in the world, has selected IFS in order to leverage the leading ERP solution, IFS Cloud, to drive process optimization and increase throughput in the highly-competitive aerospace sector.

By adopting IFS Cloud in conjunction with the Siemens product lifecycle management (PLM) solution, Teamcenter, the Czech Republic based company aims to transition towards paperless production and assembly, leveraging advanced shopfloor digital twin technology and visualization tools. These solutions will empower users on the shop floor with digital work instructions and streamline approval processes across key operations.

Additionally, the implementation of IFS Cloud, in tandem with Teamcenter, will enable the standardization of processes, aligning with industry best practices. This holistic approach is designed to optimize production efficiency, reduce errors, and ensure consistent quality across all operations.

“We are making one of the largest IT investments in Aero’s history. We are acquiring the best of the best in the world of enterprise software solutions and at the same time introducing a system for product lifecycle management. This significant investment is a key step towards digitalization, future growth and increased competitiveness of our company,” said Viktor Sotona, Chairman of the Board and President of Aero. “The implementation of cutting-edge IT systems represents a major step in the management of all processes and the digitalization of production. It will bring significant improvements in all key areas – from product development, through planning and production to the supply chain. We are deploying systems that enable Industry 4.0 management.”

Moving forwards, the new solution built from tightly integrated ERP and PLM will form a solid and flexible digital backbone for all Aero’s operations. That includes the development, design, and manufacture of their own aircraft, the development of components and composite parts for other aircraft manufacturers, and the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft.

Marek Głazowski, Managing Director at IFS, added: “We are thrilled to be supporting Aero on their transformation journey. The company has a well-established heritage in a complex industry that we are proud to have a deep understanding of. We look forward to partnering with Aero to achieve value fast and accelerate their growth through simplifying and upgrading legacy systems with state-of-the-art ERP and PLM systems from IFS and Siemens.”

“We are excited to be partnering with Aero on this important digital transformation journey,” said Pavel Rozsypal, Account Orchestrator at Siemens. “Our advanced PLM solutions, combined with IFS Cloud’s ERP capabilities, will empower Aero to not only enhance their production workflows but also accelerate their innovation cycles, helping them maintain a competitive edge in the global aerospace market.”

The Czech division of IFS platinum partner, InfoConsulting, will roll out the complete solution across Aero’s site in the Czech Republic. Once fully implemented, there are expected to be almost 900 full users of the IFS Cloud solution, together with more than 900 shop floors users. There will also be over 700 users of the Siemens PLM solution across Aero’s R&D, manufacturing and production departments, covering the whole product lifecycle process. Siemens Teamcenter offers a robust, integrated platform that seamlessly connects Aero’s diverse engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain processes.

“At InfoConsulting, we are proud to play a pivotal role in bringing this integrated solution to life for Aero Vodochody Aerospace. As a platinum partner of IFS, we bring deep expertise in implementing these solutions and are confident that this project will significantly enhance Aero’s operational efficiency and future-proof their business,” said Jozef Kováčik, Managing Director at InfoConsulting Czech.

The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ provides competitive analysis and ranking of the leading Managed Security Services (MSS) vendors.Kaspersky’s comprehensive service and customer experience management has received strong ratings for service excellence and customer impact parameters.

MIDDLETON, Mass., Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — QKS Group has named Kaspersky a technology leader in its 2024 SPARK Matrix™ analysis of Managed Security Services (MSS) market.

The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ evaluates vendors based on service excellence and customer impact. It offers an in-depth analysis of global market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscapes, and competitive positioning. By providing competitive analysis and ranking of leading technology vendors, the SPARK MatrixTM delivers strategic insights that help users access provider capabilities, differentiate competitively, and understand market positions.

Kaspersky was chosen as a leader in the 2024 SPARK MatrixTM: Managed Security Services (MSS) due to its comprehensive capabilities in security monitoring, threat management, and incident handling, along with its ability to enhance operational efficiency and ensure consistent protection across diverse IT environments.

QKS Group defines Managed Security Services (MSS) as “a comprehensive and proactive suite of tailored solutions managed by third parties that continuously monitors, manages, and protects client organizations’ security assets and systems. The services encompass a variety of tailored management and operational services that address both security technologies and specific business outcomes. MSS can be delivered through diverse modes, including the provider’s cloud infrastructure, consultative engagements, staff augmentation, or on-premises. This flexibility provides a robust framework to safeguard devices from threats, exposures, and vulnerabilities in the dynamic IT environment.”

According to Sanjay Kumar, Analyst at QKS Group, “Kaspersky demonstrates a strong position in the Managed Security Services landscape by offering a unified platform designed to deliver end-to-end security. Its services extend across key areas such as endpoint protection, hybrid cloud security, and integrated threat detection. The portfolio is further strengthened by capabilities like proactive threat monitoring, vulnerability assessment, threat intelligence-driven insights, SOC optimization, and incident readiness services. These offerings align with enterprise needs for consistent protection and operational efficiency in increasingly complex IT environments. Kaspersky’s ability to address diverse security challenges while maintaining high levels of service excellence and customer impact has positioned the company as a leader in the SPARK Matrix™: Managed Security Services, 2024.”

“We are grateful for the recognition our Managed Security Services have received from QKS Group. We participate in thorough evaluations like these to independently validate that our services have the strong capabilities needed to predict, prevent, detect and respond to cyberattacks, thereby enabling businesses to comprehensively protect all their resources,” comments Veniamin Levtsov, Vice President, Center of Business Expertise, Kaspersky.

The digital landscape is increasingly complex, with expanding cloud services and rapid digital transformation broadening attack surfaces and heightening the risks of data breaches. In this environment, Managed Security Services (MSS) are pivotal in strengthening security postures across diverse organizational needs. As organizations adopt cloud solutions like Malware as a Service (MaaS) and Storage as a Service (SaaS), they benefit from scalability and resource-sharing but also face new security threats. MSS providers enable organizations to manage these risks, ensuring a balanced approach between cloud adoption and security. While MSS traditionally focused on 24/7 monitoring and SIEM-based incident response, advancements now allow for independent solutions on platforms like Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Network Detection and Response (NDR). MSS has also broadened to include security assessments, vulnerability management, and log analysis, providing flexible, efficient solutions that support robust security across complex environments.

Since the inauguration of its first photovoltaic power station in 2011, Turpan’s total installed capacity of photovoltaic installations has reached 2.48 million kilowatts. In 2024, the State Grid Turpan Power Supply Company has accelerated the construction of six new energy support projects, enhancing the grid connection services for new energy projects in the Gaochang District, including Qiquan Lake and Tangshan Haitai.

This year, Turpan has added 1.2 million kilowatts of new photovoltaic installations, which accounts for one-quarter of the total new power generation capacity. This significant increase will further drive the transformation of energy development and ensure a secure and reliable energy supply.
