EVRY to provide IT operating services for Swedish railways
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Oslo, 11 June 2012) EVRY, formerly EDB ErgoGroup, has entered into an agreement
with SJ AB and SJ's wholly-owned subsidiary Linkon to provide IT operating
services and other IT services. The agreement is a continuation of current
deliveries, and runs to 31 December 2014. The agreement represents total
contract value in the order of SEK 300 million.
Through this agreement, EVRY will be responsible for applications operating
services in both the mainframe and server environments, as well as various
network services. The agreement applies to all business systems, which include
ticket sales, websites, security and the customer loyalty program. A significant
proportion of the deliveries will take place using EVRY's offshore resources in
India, and this will help to ensure material savings in IT costs for SJ and
Linkon.
"We enjoy good collaboration with EVRY based on current deliveries. EVRY has
demonstrated that it can meet our demanding requirements for both quality and
security. Through the new agreement, together with the well-established model
for collaboration and interaction, we expect further improvements together with
savings in IT costs. On the basis of this agreement, we will also be able to
increase systems availability for services including ticket sales", comments
Björn Rosell, CIO SJ.
"The agreement sets very high standards for service level and quality, and we
are proud that SJ and Linkon have demonstrated continuing confidence in EVRY
by choosing to renew our collaboration. This contract helps to reinforce our
position in the Swedish market, and also provides very good evidence of EVRY's
delivery capacity using offshore resources", comments Terje Mjøs, CEO EVRY.
