Tesco unveils £27.4m IT deal with New York firm

New York-state based firm CA Technologies will monitor the IT network for Tesco Group, including Tesco Bank, Tesco.com and Tesco Mo-bile.

The company will deal with a wide range of IT work from health and performance of its supply chain, including desktop computers, servers, networks, credit card transactions, suppliers and supply orders.

CA Technologies has 472,000 staff working in more than 5,000 stores across 14 countries.

Mike McNamara, Tesco’s chief information officer, said: “Our systems infrastructure needs to work for our IT team in order to do their job for our customers, our colleagues and our suppliers.”

CA Technologies has been a strategic IT partner to Tesco for the past 20 years.

The supermarket also uses CA ecoSoftware to monitor its carbon footprint across a range of activities including IT, stores, refrigeration, distribution and waste.

Tesco reported that like-for-like sales excluding fuel and VAT dropped 0.1 per cent in the 13 weeks to May 28.
