Centrica awards £2.1m outsourcing contract to Fujitsu

Centrica, the utilities group and parent company of British Gas, has awarded Fujitsu Services a £2.1 million IT outsourcing contract.

The new three-year contract will see Fujitsu manage a portfolio of applications supporting British Gas’s residential and business customers. Under the terms of the contract Fujitsu will provide 365x24 application maintenance and support services.

Fujitsu plans to use its bespoke portfolio management approach to optimise Centrica’s legacy and future applications portfolio. Centrica expects the deal to reduce their application maintenance costs by 50%.

Neil Coop, senior commercial manager, Centrica, says, “We are delighted to have appointed Fujitsu to continue to help us modernise our legacy systems using its extensive skills and resources in application management and development.”

The agreement comes as part of the latest chapter in a 30 year history in supporting Centrica and enhancing its IT systems.
