In a sophisticated Europe-wide tendering process, EWE Aktiengesellschaft in Oldenburg has been looking for competent service providers to supply various services in the IT area. Arvato Systems won one of five lots for "IT back-end services and data center operations" and was awarded the contract. "We are very pleased to expand our existing partnership with EWE and swb," said Olaf Steinbrink, the managing director at Arvato Systems responsible for the energy sector.
