Tieto delivers capacity and integration services to Kesko
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Tieto Corporation PRESS RELEASE 28 June 2011 at 10.00 am EET
Kesko has selected Tieto as its capacity and integration service provider. The
new agreement covers Kesko's IT infrastructure, integration and SAP servers.
Some of the services will be delivered as cloud-based solutions, which will
improve Kesko's cost efficiency, the agility of its information technology and
its environmental friendliness. The value of the three year contract is
approximately EUR 35 million.
IT as a service, in combination with Tieto's global delivery model, will
increase flexibility for applications, service maintenance, and development. The
customer can also increase or decrease its use of the information technology
services as needed. In addition, the transfer to information technology that is
delivered as a service on the network takes up less of the company's assets.
"Kesko needs an IT service provider that can deliver a complete IT
infrastructure service reliably and cost efficiently. Our goal is to support the
growth of our business by using IT services that can be quickly and effortlessly
scaled. Tieto was able to offer the best solutions for this purpose," Kesko's
CIO Arto Hiltunen says.
"IT as a service offers the opportunity to be scalable, flexible, and
standardised. Due to the flexibility of information technology services, their
use will incur less costs," says Tieto's Heikki Alho, Head of Customer cluster
Kesko.
Tieto's capacity services offer a new way to acquire capacity for the
requirements of business applications. Capacity services are a step towards a
model of behaviour where most emphasis is placed on the end result instead of
the devices and instruments themselves.
