Tieto signs outsourcing agreement with Stampen
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Tieto Corporation PRESS RELEASE 26 January 2012 at 2.00 pm EET
Media group Stampen, Sweden, has decided to outsource a large part of its IT
operations to Tieto. The agreement runs over five years and includes a
consolidation of Stampen's IT environment into Tieto's data centre, operation of
business-critical systems and the introduction of a new workplace concept for
around 2 500 employees. In addition, around 30 Stampen employees will be
transferred to Tieto. The five-year agreement corresponds to an order value of
approximately EUR 21.5 million.
Stampen's business places stringent demands on availability, covering newspaper
production, digital media and an extensive printing operation. In addition to
providing infrastructure services, Tieto will also assume operational
responsibility for most of the business critical systems.
"We chose Tieto because they showed us that they are a flexible partner that can
provide cost-effective and scalable solutions, essential for any future
international expansion. They also have a proven track record in media and
understand trends in the industry, which is important to us given the challenges
the sector is facing," says Inge Olausson, CIO of Stampen.
The agreement with Tieto will give Stampen access to the very latest technology,
as well as a standardised and consolidated IT environment. The transition over
to the new IT environment will be completed before the end of the year.
"We're delighted and proud to have been given this opportunity to work with
Stampen. The biggest benefit for Stampen will be that they get access to
services that are the best practice in the media industry, as well as a solution
that offers cost optimization due to Tieto's economies of scale. The agreement
with Stampen, along with the deal we recently announced with MTG, shows that
Tieto's focus on the media industry in Sweden is now starting to bear fruit,"
says Mats Jadesköld, Vice President of Telecom & Media at Tieto.
