Old Mutual and T-Systems in SA have signed an IT infrastructure management deal worth almost R2,6bn, extending the two companies’ existing relationship until 2019. They say it’s one of the largest IT infrastructure deals of this nature in SA’s insurance industry.
Referred to as “Equinox”, the deal is meant to help reduce Old Mutual’s operating costs over the seven-year period and provide the organisation with a platform that supports its long-term savings strategy.
The new deal replaces T-Systems’ existing “Rosa” contract with Old Mutual, originally signed in 2008.
The new agreement includes the delivery of IT support services to Old Mutual and Mutual & Federal, including a global service helpdesk, mainframe, storage and end-user computing services. Future support into other emerging markets such as Africa, Colombia and Mexico will be considered in the future. — Staff reporter, TechCentral
