Tieto Corporation Press Release 29 January 2010 at 3.30 pm EET


Tieto is chosen as one of ten IT-suppliers by the Legal, Financial and
Administrative Services Agency in Sweden, Kammarkollegiet. Suppliers were chosen
in a tender competition for overall IT operations. The framework agreements with
the chosen suppliers coverIT management services in the public sector and will
affect all government agencies, 232 municipalities as well as 19 county councils
and regions. The total order value is estimated at approximately SEK 4 billion
during an initial 5-year period.

"We are extremely pleased that Kammarkollegiet has chosen Tieto as a supplier.
IT management services and outsourcing are our focus areas, and today's decision
shows that our offer is seen very attractive," says Krister Högne, head of the
Industry Group at Tieto Sweden.

The agreementencompasses services for the operation, development and support of
IT infrastructure and applications. It also includes solutions for integrating
applications, software and infrastructure.

"Giving an external party responsibility for IT operations will also ensure that
citizens get cost efficient, secure and professional 24-hour services,"
continues Högne.

A study carried out by Tieto shows thatin Sweden public sector IT costs amount
to approximately SEK 40 billion per year. So far, the value of outsourced
operations is only about SEK 2.3 billion. Kammarkollegiet's framework agreement
for overall IT operations will now make it easier for the public sector to open
up its IT operations to competition.

Tieto works continuously on developing high-qualityIT management services and is
expanding its capacity in Sweden through a new, modern data centre. The centre
which will be up and running in the spring has been designed for large-scale IT
operations and meets the strictest requirements regarding safety and energy
efficiency.

Tieto's 5-year framework agreement will be signed on 8 February provided that no
appeals are made under Swedish public procurement legislation.
