Tieto Corporation         PRESS RELEASE         16 January 2013 at 11.00 am EET

Tieto has signed an agreement with the Swedish business and credit information agency UC on supplying Test Tool as a Service (TTaaS). The service offers a range of advantages for UC in the form of more rapid processes, cost savings and greater flexibility when developing new system solutions.

Tieto's Test Tool as a Service handles the entire system testing process (from requirements to test case and test results). The cloud service gives UC greater flexibility and enables it to adapt its licences on a monthly basis to suit its needs, with greater cost efficiency as a result. With TTaaS, users can quickly get started, as the tool can be supplied within a couple of hours. The agreement with UC also includes a customised training programme and the ToolBox tool, which makes it easier to manage the testing tool with just a few simple clicks.

"The main advantages for us are that we can focus on our core business while optimising operations and gaining better control of our costs. The testing tool is delivered in a flexible way, making it possible for us to quickly adapt the number of licences to our needs. Also, support is available in Swedish," says Anna David, CIO at UC.

TTaaS combines Tieto's expertise in consultancy, capacity services and software testing with the testing tools of leading suppliers. Test cases, requirements and results are stored on Tieto's servers, guaranteeing secure handling, with regular back-up as its mainstay.

"TTaaS is a service that is in great demand across the board in the Swedish market. We see several advantages for companies in the finance sector - flexibility and cost-efficiency, for example. We're extremely satisfied with the fact that we are expanding our TTaaS business into a new customer segment in Sweden," says Alexandra Fürst, Head of Financial Services, Sweden.
