Tieto, a Nordic technology company, has signed a framework agreement with Orange Business, a global managed services and cloud provider, making Orange Business a significant capacity and managed services partner for Tieto.
Under the agreement, Orange Business will provide services across all four of Tieto’s business units as well as corporate-level IT services. Tieto Banktech has already confirmed it will use Orange Business services, with initial migrations to Cloud Avenue — Orange Business’ sovereign European cloud platform — set to begin in the second half of 2026.
The remaining Tieto businesses are expected to follow over an approximate two-year transition period, with each establishing their own plans in due course. Tieto’s current provider will continue to serve the company outside the scope of this new agreement.
Key factors in selecting Orange Business included the provider’s potential to support Tieto’s European expansion ambitions, competitive cost levels, and business continuity capabilities.
Tieto CEO Endre Rangnes said, “Orange Business is an internationally renowned and trusted provider in this field, and their profile is matching overall well with our business priorities, including our aspiration to expand and strengthen our company’s footprint in Europe.
“Our collaboration is intended to deliver efficiency through standardized services, as well as a robust and modernized delivery model. These services play a vital role in our customer deliveries, and business continuity is the key design principle in the change we are now undertaking.”
Orange Business general manager at Digital Norway Knut Grøvan said, “At Orange Business, we are proud to be a trusted partner supporting Tieto’s growth across the Nordics and its strategic expansion across Europe.
“Through our Cloud Avenue platform, we provide a secure and compliant cloud foundation across multiple European countries, helping Tieto maintain full data control, resilience, and meet strict regulatory requirements in key industries such as banking, healthcare, and public services. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to trusted, resilient technology that supports Tieto’s ambitions in a complex digital landscape.”
