Nexus, Redbanc and Transbank, three financial service firms in Chilie, have signed a new seven-year, US $90 million technology infrastructure management agreement with EDS.

Under the new contract, EDS will work to consolidate the company’s five data centers. In addition to its global delivery centers in Argentina and Brazil, EDS will design and build a new high-efficiency data center near Santiago, Chile, to serve these clients. EDS also will provide end-user support and call center operations for about 1,200 employees in the companies’ locations across Chile.

“Today’s financial services industry moves at a rapid pace that requires the scale, reliability and agility that EDS provides while allowing us to improve service and deliver value to our customers,” said Carlos Johnson, general manager of Transbank. “We collectively selected EDS based on its solid service delivery and ability to respond to our technology needs in a secure, efficient and flexible way.”
