A consortium made up of Romanian software developer Siveco and Polish systems integrator ABG Ster-Projekt has won a contract worth 4.7 million euros following a tender organised by the Agency for Payment and Intervention for Agriculture (APIA), according to APIA officials. The consortium has the obligation to develop a software system for the administration of money and payments made within the field of agriculture, which is known as the IACS (Integrated Administration and Control System), over one year. "APIA's IT system is meant for that part of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), which is a component of the general budget of the European Community, and which is managed by APIA in Romania," Theodor Stanescu, project manager at Siveco told ZIARUL FINANCIAR. Other companies that took part in the tender were Romsys, S&T, Ibykus German, HP (the Romanian, Hungarian and Bulgarian branches), Siemens Austria and two consortiums made up of Intracom, Intrarom, Geoset, as well as Sysware and Altec. Siveco officials did not wish to specify how much money went to each of the two companies in the consortium.
