'Tieto was chosen from among 20 leading ICT service companies, because it could best meet Kesko's strategic requirements for the improvement of effectiveness and quality of continuous services, as well as investments in new technologies and competencies that underpin Kesko's growth strategy,' says Chief Information Officer Arto Hiltunen.
The renewal will help unify the K-Group's ICT services and system architecture. The change is aimed to enhance ICT functions, increase agility in the development of digital services and ensure uninterrupted business processes.
'The new, more cost effective, standardized ICT environment will enable us to invest more strongly in the development of new digital services for the K-Group customers, personnel and partners.'
The agreement signed with Tieto is for five years. Kesko's other information and communication technology partners include, for example, Elisa, Fujitsu, OpusCapita and Capgemini.
