EVRY to provide operating services for the Church of Norway
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Oslo, 25 June 2013) EVRY has entered into an agreement with the Church of
Norway to provide operating services for the Church's membership register. The
agreement runs for three years, with an option for a further year. The agreement
with the Church of Norway represents expected contract value of NOK 7 million
over the life of the contract.
EVRY entered into a management services agreement in relation to the Church's
membership register in 2011. This collaboration is now being expanded with EVRY
also providing scalable operating services. The agreement with the Church of
Norway is entered into with the Church of Norway National Council.
"The membership register plays a very important role in allowing the Church of
Norway to carry out its work in a proactive and efficient manner. A state-of-
the-art and stable IT system will play a central role, and will help us to carry
out our plans. The agreements with EVRY provide for the company to deliver
support for the continuing development and operation of the membership
register", comments director Jens-Petter Johnsen of the Church of Norway
National Council.
"We are delighted that the Church of Norway is expanding its collaboration with
EVRY. Through this new operating services agreement, the Church will benefit
from efficient and scalable operating services using state-of-the-art technology
that will facilitate continued development. We look forward to starting the
delivery of operating services, and to our continuing strong and long-standing
collaboration with the Church", comments Knut Aasrud, Head of EVRY Norway.
The Church of Norway currently operates a web-based solution for its membership
register that is used by all its central and local units. The solution's users
are spread across more than 1,500 units, including central bodies, diocesan
councils, deaneries, joint parish councils and parishes, located throughout
Norway. The system holds information on the Church's four million members and
other supporters, council members, employees, users, organisational units,
church services and tax-free giving. Elections for parish councils and diocesan
councils are held every second year, and the membership register system provides
the basis for the conduct of these elections. The membership register makes use
of information from major public registers such as the national population
register, the central co-ordinating register for legal entities, the
employer/employee register and the buildings register. The current system was
developed and put into production in 2009. The system has since been updated,
and the Church plans further improvements in a number of areas over the coming
years.
About the contract
The operations solution that EVRY will deliver features redundancy with
operations shared between two data halls, ensuring stable and reliable services
for the Church. Operating services will be delivered through a combination of
physical and virtual servers. The entire virtual environment that EVRY will
deliver is fully scalable to meet demand, with no individual components that set
a limit to scalability. The Church of Norway is purchasing this as a service.
This means, for example, that the Church will only pay for the volume of storage
and backup that it needs at any time.
