Aktiv Kapital extends contract with Itera
Oslo, 10 January 2011: Aktiv Kapital has extended its
long-term customer relationship with Itera Networks
with further three years. The contract is worth
approx. NOK 22 million and includes a significant
expansion of the existing cooperation.
Aktiv Kapital wants to join the technology platform
for its entire European operations, and has signed an
agreement where Itera Networks will be responsible
for its central IT operations. Itera Networks has
operated Aktiv Kapital's global platform (IT shared
services) since 2007, and the new agreement will also
include the operation of the decentralized
infrastructure of Aktiv Kapital's offices in Europe.
With Itera Networks in charge of central IT
operations will streamline IT operations, realize
synergies, and create greater flexibility in the
organization. This is expected to increase the IT
productivity, simplify the implementation of changes,
and reduce risk.
- Itera Networks has been an important partner in
building Aktiv Kapital's central platform. During the
three years Itera has been our operating partner,
they have helped with infrastructure and operations
within data warehousing, intranet and common ERP
system for the entire group, to name a few. Itera is
providing skilled, dedicated resources, and delivers
robust technical solutions. They meet our high
standards of competence, quality and availability,
says Jan Husby CIO at Aktiv Kapital.
- We are proud that Aktiv Kapital has both extended
and expanded the existing agreement with us. We offer
a solid platform that provides reliability and
flexibility. The company's wish to stay with us for
three more years is a good sign that we meet their
expectations. We look forward to further cooperation
with Aktiv Kapital, says Tone Håfjeld, Sales and
Marketing Director at Itera Networks.
