Tieto to provide Cloud productivity solutions for enterprise customers and public sector
Tieto Corporation PRESS RELEASE 17 November 2011 at 10.00 am EET
Tieto and Microsoft have agreed to extend their relationship, enabling Tieto to
provide cloud productivity solutions as a key provider of the latest, market-
leading Microsoft productivity software. The Tieto Enterprise Productivity
Suite will be made available through Tieto's internationally recognised, green
service production facilities in Finland and Sweden.
The solution is based on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft Exchange
Server 2010, Microsoft Lync 2010, Windows Server with Hyper-V and System Center,
and coupled with the rest of Tieto's enterprise productivity cloud services.
This allows Tieto's customers flexibility in building the cloud transformation
roadmap with unique data security and control capabilities, including in-country
data centers. It provides a secure and easy way of business productivity - all
delivered with the benefits of the cloud, but with regulatory compliance and
flexibility.
"We are excited that customers in Finland and Sweden will now be able to benefit
from Tieto-hosted Microsoft business productivity software-as-a-service through
a private cloud environment," says Mark Hill, VP Enterprise Partners, Microsoft.
"Through this agreement Tieto plays a key role in Microsoft's vision of
providing customers with cloud services, hosted in customer, Tieto and Microsoft
datacentres."
"As customers look to cloud offerings for increased productivity, cost savings
and richer capabilities, some are determining that a private cloud is preferred
over a public cloud. This agreement is an important milestone in the development
of our strategic relationship with Microsoft, and it gives us the chance to
become the leader with cloud and hybrid business productivity solutions", says
Krister Högne, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Solutions, Tieto.
