Computacenter Case Study: Nationwide Building Society

Overview Not surprisingly for a leading financial institution, the Nationwide invests substantially in information technology and employs a large and highly skilled IT staff. Towards the end of 1996 the Society decided to refresh its existing server architecture that operates the NT-based infrastructure of its head office operations in Swindon and Northampton. Nationwide already knew Computacenter. Computacenter had worked with Nationwide on a number of projects over a period of years. The first evaluation project carried out by Computacenter with Nationwide covered the Society's increasing demand for mobile computing.
