“Fujitsu had the capacity and capability to cater for all of our IT management needs, so we would only have to manage one supplier”

Renny Salminen – Chief Information Officer, Aker Yards

After evaluating a range of potential partners, including its three existing suppliers, Aker Yards decided to outsource the management of its entire IT infrastructure, including 1,400 desktop systems, to Fujitsu. In addition, Fujitsu also took over the hosting the day-today operation of its data centre services, including 150 existing servers located in its Turku yard.

In Finland, Aker Yards has three ship building yards in Turku, Helsinki, and Rauma, whose IT systems were managed independently. However, the company recognised that it could streamline operations by consolidating its IT management services with one supplier.
