Skandia is a diversified finance company offering savings management services as well as a range of property and casualty insurance products. Skandia’s mainframe computers run business systems used throughout the Nordic region and must be available 24/7. The entire mainframe computer environment is now being moved to Volvo IT in Goteborg, which has one of the Nordic region’s largest data centers.
The deal represents the latest successful step in Volvo IT’s current strategic plan to expand its scope of business interests beyond its tradition auto industry based customers.
We see the Skandia agreement as a success for our business model which means open cooperation and effective coordination of IT resources at major companies, commented Volvo IT’s CEO, Ulf Nilsson.
