Wednesday, July 02, 2008:
BT has signed a new agreement with Nationwide Building Society to manage its networked IT services in a seven-year outsourcing deal worth £160 million. Under this new, business-aligned outsourcing service, Nationwide will transfer all voice and data networking infrastructure, third-party network contracts and in-scope staff to BT.

|
As part of the contract, BT will deliver a service transformation programme under which they will consolidate Nationwide’s multiple networks onto its 21CN Global network which will support both voice and data services on a single converged platform. BT will also deliver enhanced remote access facilities to Nationwide’s non-office based employees.
The new model will introduce a commercial model providing Nationwide with cost predictability while based on industry-best practice and a framework of service level agreements (SLAs) at a reduced overall total cost of ownership.
While speaking on the deal, Peter Stafford, head, IT infrastructure, Nationwide Building Society, said, “Nationwide’s growth in recent years has meant that our IT infrastructure has also had to evolve at an exponential rate to keep up with demand, and we must now seek the most efficient and scalable infrastructure service possible to support this. Having worked with BT for a number of years, we are very confident in the team’s ability to fulfil our requirements.”
“Nationwide chose BT for its ability to deliver a standardised, cost-effective network infrastructure and a well-governed but innovation-led approach to future service management. In delivering this contract, BT will build on its unrivalled track record in providing transformational network-centric outsourced solutions which meet the demands of the financial services industry,” shared François Barrault, CEO, BT Global Services.
