Eversheds has renewed its IT services outsourcing agreement with Computacenter with a new £30m five-year deal.
The new deal, which will take effect from 1 January next year, will see the IT infrastructure company continue to provide various core support functions for the firm, including helpdesk, infrastructure and training.
The arrangement means that Eversheds staff are able to access the firm's core IT systems, regardless of their location.
Eversheds chief information officer Paul Caris commented: "We have been working with Computacenter for the last five years, and were keen to maintain the high service levels and quality of systems while facilitating greater agility within the contract, thereby allowing Eversheds to stay ahead of the pack as new and better technologies come to market."
The initial deal, which was signed in 2006, saw 79 staff transfer over to Computacenter.
The news comes after the firm completed a two-month trial with Computacenter and Citrix, dubbed 'Eversheds Anywhere', which saw 50 lawyers and staff issued with an iPad. The firm has since deployed a further 500 iPads to staff across its UK and international offices.
