“We are excited that customers in Finland, Sweden and Norway will now be able to benefit from Tieto-hosted Microsoft business productivity software-as-a-service through a private cloud environment,” says Mark Hill, VP Enterprise Partners, Microsoft. “Through this agreement Tieto plays a key role in Microsoft’s vision of providing customers with cloud services, hosted in customer’s, Tieto’s and Microsoft’s datacentres.”

The solution is based on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Microsoft Lync 2010, Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and Microsoft System Center, and coupled with the rest of Tieto’s enterprise productivity cloud services.

It provides a secure and easy way of business productivity - all delivered with the benefits of the cloud, but with regulatory compliance and flexibility.

“As customers look to cloud offerings for increased productivity, cost savings and richer capabilities, some are determining that a private cloud is preferred over a public cloud. This agreement is an important milestone in the development of our strategic relationship with Microsoft, and it gives us the chance to become the leader with cloud and hybrid business productivity solutions”, says Krister Högne, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Solutions, Tieto.
