May 6, 2004 : IBM Hosting Applications for Danka

📅 May 6, 2004 - Danka Business Systems will outsource its US-based IT infrastructure to IBM Global Services (ibm.com), the companies announced on Wednesday. The financial terms of the seven-year outsourcing agreement were not disclosed.

Under the agreement, IBM will host business applications for Danka's US group and its corporate operations on a pay as you go basis. Under this on-demand model, Danka will pay only for the system and storage capacity it uses.
Danka said IBM was selected as its outsourcing partner because of its expertise and flexible on-demand outsourcing solution.
"Outsourcing the infrastructure requirements to IBM will generate annual savings of up to 20 percent compared to our current costs for completing these same tasks in-house," says Michael Wedge, chief information officer for Danka. "It will eliminate the need to make upgrades to the IT infrastructure, enhance our disaster recovery efforts, and help shield us from the risk of hardware obsolescence."
