HAMBURG, Germany, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hamburger
Sparkasse (Haspa), Germany's
largest savings bank, has extended its successful IT outsourcing
partnership with Diebold Nixdorf
(NYSE: DBD), a global leader in driving connected commerce, for an
additional seven years. This renewal builds on the 2005 agreement
between the two companies in which Haspa outsourced a significant
portion of its IT operations to Diebold
Nixdorf. In the future, Diebold
Nixdorf will also support Haspa in the migration of its core
banking system from SAP to OSPlus from Finanz Informatik, the IT
service provider of the Sparkasse Finance Group, through the
establishment of a network infrastructure and new server
landscape.
With this agreement, Diebold
Nixdorf will support the decentralized IT operations for
approximately 6,000 of Haspa's work stations and the management of
its self-service network of more than 800 systems, including cash
management, network services, file and print services, the
operation of servers for a range of applications, the management of
middleware and database applications, and a user help desk.
"Drawing on Diebold Nixdorf's
expertise, this partnership has enabled us to ensure the consistent
availability of our systems," said Rudolf
Hoyer, the head of information technology and organization
at Hamburger Sparkasse. "In addition, Diebold Nixdorf has been supporting our efforts
to further develop our technologies and infrastructure as well as
in reducing costs."
"We will continue to rely on Diebold
Nixdorf's expertise as we plan the migration of our core
banking system," added Frank
Rollenhagen, deputy head of information technology and
organization at Hamburger Sparkasse.
"The continuation of key partnerships with leading financial
institutions, such as Haspa, is a key aspect of our services growth
strategy," said Olaf Heyden, Diebold
Nixdorf senior vice president, services. "Through our
comprehensive services portfolio, we are driving the future of
consumer transactions by helping banks fully focus on their
customers and facilitating the rapid transformation of financial
institutions throughout the world."
