S3log is the consortium established in July 2004  by majority stake-holder Elsag Datamat, a Finmeccanica company, and Vitrociset, to create the Italian centre of excellence in the supply of Logistics Management information systems and services to the Defence sector, with the scale to compete on international markets.

S3log is born in response to the needs of developing innovative solutions that simplify and improve logistics management, as well as providing support to protect operations and optimise resources, with adequate content and cost.

These factors derive from the  exponential rise in the number of operations undertaken by armed forces outside the domestic Defence and Security arena, in multi-national and inter-force scenarios.

This growing international commitment, and therefore broader geographical deployment, make it even more necessary
both to optimise resources and to be able to communicate and access information.
