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.
