Tieto Corporation Press Release 26 June 2009 at 11.00 am EET


Tieto and Itella have concluded two new IT infrastructure services
agreements. Tieto will deliver data centre services to Itella
Information from 1 September 2009 until the end of 2014. The deal
means that ten persons in three countries will transfer to Tieto. One
of the agreements concerns Itella Oyj's managed services: an
outsourcing agreement concluded between the parties in 2004 was
extended by one year from the start of July.

"Here at Itella Information we'll be concentrating on billing and
financial administration processes. At this stage, running the data
centres of a growing, internationalising company is no longer part of
our core business. A strong partner will enable us to expand faster
into new markets and areas," says Heikki Länsisyrjä, Managing
Director at Itella Information.

"With the outsourcing arrangement we are looking for standardised
services, predictable costs and standard processes. We have had a
long and successful relationship with Tieto; that is why we wanted to
expand the partnership in the area of ICT operations management
services," says Tomi Pienimäki, CIO at Itella Group.

"We are very pleased we are able both to continue and expand the
scope of cooperation with Itella. Our standardised services have met
with a positive reception among our customers as well as at Itella.
The cost-effective solution will mean we can also offer greater
flexibility, according to business needs," says Ari Karppinen,
Country Head for Finland at Tieto.
