News: Corus goes with Capgemini for £26m IT refresh

Steelmaker Corus has signed a £26 million agreement for Capgemini to refresh and manage its IT systems for the next five years. The deal involves moving the on-site existing IBM and Fujitsu mainframe services to Capgemini’s datacentres in Bristol and Rotherham as part of its bid to reduce mainframe running costs and improve service levels. Corus has already been using Capgemini for 10 years to manage its IT infrastructure, and the IT services firm will continue to support core process activities at the company’s main UK manufacturing sites including Rotherham. These processes include production, supply chain, stockholding, purchasing, sales ordering and invoicing activities. Capgemini will provide on shore service management using its UK staff, and will offshore operational management to Poland and technical support to India.
