DATAGROUP wins major order from NRW.BANK
Pliezhausen, August 1, 2018. DATAGROUP and its subsidiary DATAGROUP
Financial IT Services GmbH have won the tender for the
Next-Generation-Outsourcing of NRW.BANK over a period of ten years. The
order volume is in the high double-digit million euro range. This is the
largest single order in the history of DATAGROUP.
As published on July 11, 2018, in an ad-hoc-announcement, DATAGROUP will
take responsibility for the supply and operation of the entire IT
infrastructure of NRW.BANK as a managed service from July 1, 2019. After
expiry of the statutory complaint period, DATAGROUP now publishes further
details on the order. The range of services covered includes the supply and
operation of the entire network and the server infrastructure, the
applications management of the individual applications as well as the PC
workplaces. Overall, DATAGROUP will provide comprehensive support for some
2,000 IT workplaces.
The transition services will start on August 1, 2018 and are planned for a
period of 11 months.
As the state development bank of North Rhine-Westphalia, NRW.BANK supports
the country in its structural political and economic policy tasks. As such,
it is under public responsibility, competition neutral, and offers the full
range of financial development products - from conventional loans and equity
financing to customized advisory services.
"We are delighted we score with our specific range of services tailored to
the needs of the financial sector and that we managed to win this tender",
says Max H.-H. Schaber, DATAGROUP CEO. "The strategy to build up expertise
in the banking and financial services sector was impressively confirmed for
the first time". In August 2017, DATAGROUP had acquired ikb Data GmbH -
today's DATAGROUP Financial IT Services GmbH - with the aim to establish it
as internal center of competence for DATAGROUP's activities in the banking
and financial services sector. A vertical integration in this sector makes
sense for several reasons: The regulatory requirements to a bank's IT
operations are high and specified by particular laws and guidelines,
especially by the German MaRisk ("BAIT", Regulatory Requirements for IT
Systems). The expertise of DATAGROUP Financial IT Services GmbH is
documented by numerous relevant certifications, e.g. ISO 20000 and ISO
27001, as well as the reporting standard ISAE 3402 Type 2. On the other
hand, the actual requirements in the banking and financial services sector,
i.e. in relation to IT security monitoring but also operations of
applications, are very customer-specific. This is where DATAGROUP Financial
IT Services GmbH has a wealth of experience because of its specialisation
and perfectly meets these high requirements.
"We are proud that NRW.BANK has entrusted the operation of its IT
infrastructure to us" says Jörg Pauseback, Managing Director of DATAGROUP
Financial IT Services GmbH. "It is an important milestone for us to have won
this order. As a company of DATAGROUP we convinced them with the
full-service concept - i.e. services from a single source - and with the
support of our affiliates, especially DATAGROUP Köln GmbH", adds Sandra
Kiemes, member of the management.
"The awarding of the contract by NRW.BANK demonstrates that we have become
even more attractive for our customers and stakeholders", says Dirk Peters,
DATAGROUP COO. "We are confident that we will continue to win interesting
orders in the financial sector in the future as well."
