Norwegian energy company Norsk Hydro has awarded Fujitsu a six-year global delivery contract covering the full outsourcing and development of its IT infrastructure services systems in Norway and abroad.

Under the terms of the agreement, Fujitsu will be responsible for an integrated and end-to-end service delivery that covers both on-site and remote services across Hydro's business areas.

The agreement also covers server hosting and administration, PC, LAN, storage systems, 24/7 multilingual service desks, application hosting and collaboration systems.

The six-year global delivery agreement is based on a one-year transition period followed by a five-year outsourcing agreement. The agreement goes into effect in September 2010 and includes IT systems in 40 countries.
