Region Västra Götaland elevates ServiceNow to national security-rated cloud with Tietoevry

Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) has selected Tietoevry for the task of developing and operating a modern, stable, accessible and secure IT environment and self-service portal through ServiceNow. With Tietoevry’s Sovereign Cloud solution, which is based on a security-rated cloud solution on Swedish soil, the region will have a solution that meets the strict regulatory requirements for data storage.

After the public procurement process, Tietoevry has been trusted to become VGR’s new cloud provider for ServiceNow. Tietoevry was considered to have provided the most advantageous bid for the four year-contract. With the agreement, the region will have complete control over ensuring that data is securely stored in Sweden through Tietoevry’s Sovereign Cloud solution, which ensures full compliance with current regulations.

– VGR, as a major public actor, has high demands on secure data management. We feel confident in starting a collaboration with Tietoevry and that their cloud solution ensures that all our employees’ data is handled in Sweden and that we live up to the high regulatory demands for data storage, says Richard Karlsson at Region Västra Götaland.

– We are very happy to have VGR’s trust in supporting and developing their IT environment and thus contributing to the critical societal functions they are providing for its citizens. We will focus on proactivity and innovation, and we proudly take on the mission to enable a security-grade cloud environment that safeguards the region’s data sovereignty, says Lars-Erik Håkanson, head of Tietoevry Connect Sweden.
