LONDON - 31 Mar 2009: IBM (NYSE: IBM) and The Carphone Warehouse (CPW), Europe’s leading independent retailer of mobile phones and services, today announced a multi-year information technology (IT) infrastructure services agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, IBM has been appointed to manage Carphone Warehouse’s IT requirements and deliver its future infrastructure services across its service desk, servers, storage, desktop, network and data center environments.

The contract with IBM will assist CPW in generating cost efficiencies while providing improved business flexibility and committed service levels, through deploying IBM’s leading service delivery and management processes, tools and expertise.

Outsourcing elements of the IT can bring real benefits in cost and in delivery, the range of services or components of the IT that you buy-in will depend on your business. Congratulations to IBM and The Carphone Warehouse on this announcement, hopefully they both do well through the agreement, I wonder if the deal includes anything about virtualization or data center consolidation?
