Building society group Nationwide continued its moves to outsource technology, networks and processing this year with a contract with Unisys to 2015 which sees Unisys take over all cheque processing.
Unisys already has a seven year deal with Nationwide to operate a wide range of business processes.
Nationwide is mid-way though a £300 million business transformation programme, which involves it standardising its IT on to a SAP service oriented architecture. Dubbed Voyager, the transformation programme involves Capgemini, IBM and KPMG. Graham Beale, the chief executive of the financial institution said of technology at Nationwide, "We are continuing to transform the business, investing in systems which will improve customer service and help us deliver a more streamlined, cost-effective organisation."
Nationwide has already outsourced the management of its networks, with BT securing a £160m seven year deal to take over all voice and data network infrastructure in 2008.

Seems to me vendor lock-in is a big concern when implementing infrastructure as a service. RT @seriru
