First among Equitas

ITNet has won a three-year, £14.1m extension to an IT services contract with reinsurance company Equitas.
The deal covers desktop management, helpdesk support, server hosting, network management and application management. An additional £1.7m has been earmarked for projects that will seek to cut Equitas' costs further.
The extension is good news for the UK's ITNet, which last month suffered a set back when dumped by the Cabinet Office for a range of key e-government projects.
The approach at Equitas will see existing NT- and Novell-based systems fully migrated to Windows 2003, Cisco voice over IP technology being used and IBM AS400 servers being replaced with 825i computers from that same vendor.
Some of Equitas' desktop management will now be dealt with from ITNet's Birmingham office.
Equitas was established to handle the non-life liabilities of Lloyds of London following the institution's difficulties in the early 1990s.
Around 120 Equitas staff members joined ITNet when the contract was first awarded in 2000.
