ComputerLand re-enters race for PKO BP IT tender

IT integrator ComputerLand has again entered the zł. 2 billion tender for the sale of a computer system to bank PKO BP, this time as part of the FNS/Uni-Lab consortium, which continues to grow as the main competitor to Prokom's Softbank. The latter company supervises the computer system at PKO BP branches and has set up a consortium with Accenture. ComputerLand's return comes as a surprise as its earlier offer, prepared together with Sanchez of the US, was turned down by the bank. "That offer was not rejected as a result of ComputerLand's poor judgement, but rather as a negative assessment of its computer system. The bank decided it was too small for such a huge institution," said sources close to the tender. PKO BP has already tested systems prepared by Softbank and IBM and is now looking into the FNS/Uni-Lab's offer. The tender should be closed by the end of June. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,4) J.K.
