EVRY enters into a long-term agreement with nine savings banks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Oslo, 2 November 2015) EVRY has entered into a comprehensive agreement to
deliver banking solutions and complete IT platform operations to nine Norwegian
savings banks. The agreement is for a period of five years and represents total
contract value of NOK 355 million.
De Samarbeidende Sparebankene (DSS) is an alliance that have a joint
collaboration agreement, and Haugesund Sparebank manages this work on behalf of
the nine banks. In addition to Haugesund Sparebank, the following banks are part
of the agreement with EVRY: Spareskillingsbanken, Luster Sparebank, Lillesands
Sparebank, Søgne og Greipstad Sparebank, Voss Sparebank, Etne Sparebank,
Skudenes & Aakra Sparebank and Flekkefjord Sparebank.
The agreement means that EVRY will deliver next-generation core banking and
payment solutions to the nine banks. EVRY will work as a collaboration partner
to support the banks' business activities in what is an ever more dynamic market
by delivering banking solutions that satisfy both increasing regulatory
requirements and bank customers' expectations for the digital user experience to
be personal and interactive.
- The banks' joint procurement and close collaboration with EVRY in relation to
IT solutions will help the banks achieve sizeable savings in the years ahead.
The collaboration agreement we have entered into with EVRY provides us with
predictability and access to new, innovative and future-oriented banking
solutions. This will strengthen our position as competitive local banks in the
regions where we operate in the years ahead, comments Knut Grinde Jacobsen,
Chair of the Board of DSS and Managing Director of Haugesund Sparebank.
- Our collaboration with DSS has evolved over a number of years. We are very
pleased with DSS's renewed vote of confidence in us that will see us provide a
solution that will be used by all nine banks and that will at the same time
allow each of them to build further on their unique characteristics in their
local market. The agreement demonstrates that our solutions are suitable for
large and small banks alike, and also confirms that EVRY is on the right
strategic path in its focus on developing and delivering flexible next-
generation solutions in the core banking and payment areas, comments Wiljar
Nesse, EVP Financial Services at EVRY.

core banking and payment solutions with the SpareBank 1 Alliance and Sparebanken
Vest, as well as a collective agreement with Sparebanken Sør, Sparebanken Sogn

combined total value of approximately NOK 4,355 million.
Future-oriented banking solutions

the company's close involvement in the Banking Industry Architecture Network, of
which EVRY is the only Nordic member. EVRY's new solutions apply state-of-the-
art architecture and standards, including ISO 20022. This ensures that the
solutions can be used in international markets and are flexible and cost-
effective, as well as being well adapted to international requirements.

2020. The agreement includes an option to extend for a further two years. It
represents total contract value of approximately NOK 355 million over the five
