Framework agreement to support further growth in Europe
Tieto is a leading software and digital engineering company with a global presence. The company delivers mission-critical solutions to customers across industries through its specialised software businesses in areas such as healthcare, banking and industry, as well as through Tieto Tech Consulting.
With around 14,000 experts in software, design, cloud and artificial intelligence, Tieto has a clear ambition to help customers succeed and innovate with modern technology.
Now Tieto has signed a framework agreement with Orange Business, making Orange Business a key provider of infrastructure and managed services. The agreement covers the entire group and will support further growth in the Nordic region and Europe.
The agreement covers all of Tieto's four business areas as well as common IT services at group level. The transition to Orange Business will take place gradually over a period of approximately two years. Tieto Banktech is the first business area that has decided to adopt the services. The first migrations are planned for the second half of 2026. Other business areas will follow with their own transition plans.
A solution built for continuity and growth
For Tieto, continuity of delivery has been a fundamental premise in the choice of partner. At the same time, the ability to support the company's further expansion in Europe has been crucial.
The agreement will contribute to:
- Standardised and scalable services
- Predictable cost levels
- A robust and modern delivery model
- Support for further European growth
Delivery is through the Cloud Avenue portfolio, a modular platform designed for secure, scalable and regulatory robust operations.
