Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant

Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP) has started supplying electricity to the users in 1983 and was operating until 2009, when, by mutual consent of European Union and the Republic of Lithuania a decision was made to stop electricity production by shutting down the second reactor of INPP. 

Currently, the main INPP activity is the closing process of the nuclear plant operation and safe dismantling of the nuclear reactors and other equipment. INPP still has over 2000 employees. The organization is being funded from the budget of the Republic of Lithuania and the European Union funds.

„It is very important for the company, that the project reaches the set goals, is executed on time and without budget overruns. Blue Solutions team have succeeded in doing all that perfectly. Work efficiency and effectiveness increased to the planned level."

– Algirdas Masiulis, Manager of INPP IT department

• Variety of funding sources and accounting data analysis by funding sources
• Quantity and variety of purchase agreements, purchasing process control by agreements and funding sources
• Purchase requisition management by funding sources
• Comprehensive and extremely detailed presentation of accounting information to the controlling institutions and audit

Outcome

• The system was updated within the defined time frame and without exceeding the planned budget
• The implemented system allows posting all fixed assets, repairs, or unfinished construction operations, viewing and analyzing them in unified, user-friendly environment
• The purchase control process integrity and transparency were ensured, starting with the requisition, purchase order, agreement, and ending with invoice and inventory receipt
• The number of inventory transaction posting steps and the quantity of printed documents were reduced, and the efficiency of work increased accordingly
• Accounting information is analyzed effectively by financial dimensions and funding sources, and is submitted to the controlling institutions in required level of detail
• The report data for analysis can be exported to both Microsoft Office documents and analytical systems for further analysis.
