ComputerLand signs zł. 22 million deal with Amerbank

ComputerLand S.A. seems to have overcome its recent setbacks against market leader Prokom Software by securing a contract to install a centralized back-office IT system at Amerbank, a small financial services company specializing in corporate banking. The five-year project, worth in total zł. 22 million, is the biggest contract ComputerLand has signed so far in 2003. The company and its U.S. partner Sanchez Associates have already sold similar systems to Bank Przemysłowo Handlowy (currently BPH PBK) and Kredyt Bank. The country's second largest IT services firm is now waiting for large public contracts scheduled for later this year, including the RUM medical register and TETRA emergency services communication system.
