Iceland has signed a seven year ITO deal worth over £11.5 million with Getronics.

The contract, a renewal of a previous deal, will run until 2015 and it includes 24x7 server hosting and systems management support. The fixed annual contract will be implemented throughout the UK.

Mark Pearson, IS Director at Iceland, commented, “We’ve built up excellent rapport and trust”. He also added, “The changes made to the contract have provided us with stability and security in terms of our IT platform in the current financial climate.”

Dave Baldwin, Managing Director at Getronics commented “We know Iceland’s business extremely well and have invested time with key contacts and stakeholders throughout the re-negotiation process. This has enabled us to completely align our technology and service provision with Iceland’s requirements and as the renewal was instigated by Iceland this speaks volumes for the working relationship we now have in place.”
