Tieto and Modern Times Group (MTG) accelerate transformation
The international entertainment group Modern Times Group (MTG) extends its existing outsourcing agreement with Tieto. The new agreement runs for three years with an optional fourth year extension. The main elements involve further modernization of MTG’s global IT environment with new technical solutions based on Tieto cloud and workspace services.
- Tieto was chosen as an IT partner due to their ability to handle our complex IT infrastructure across our offices in Northern Europe. They have proven great skills and knowledge when it comes to reliable platform operation and other emerging IT challenges. I’m looking forward to working with Tieto during the upcoming years and believe that MTG will benefit from the wide bouquet of IT services which they provide, says Mikael Pommert, CIO at MTG.
The companies have a four year history of collaboration which is now deepened and extended as the parties are mutually committed to future success through transformation. The agreement supports MTG to address the many challenging and constantly changing requirements in the media marketplace, bringing together the best features of the public and private cloud with superior simplicity and speed.
- MTG’s operation is characterized by time-critical production with unprecedented demand on end-user accessibility as well as the ability to adopt the IT environment to rapidly changing market needs. The modernized environment based on Tieto´s cloud solutions will be more efficient and suitable for MTG's future business needs. We are very proud to receive renewed trust from an important and innovative player in the Media Industry, says Mats Jadesköld, Vice President of Media Scandinavia at Tieto.
