Oslo, 5 July 2011: Arntzen de Besche has signed a 3-
year operating contract with the Itera company Itera
Networks. The agreement includes monitoring,
operation and support for the law firm's locations
and 140 employees.

Itera Networks has for a long time worked with
knowledge-intensive businesses where the need for
interaction and storage of structural capital is
large, and has today become a significant operational
actor in the legal profession.

- Arntzen de Besche found it natural to choose an IT
provider which we perceive as flexible, and which
focuses on customer proximity and the legal
profession. Expertise in Worksite was an important
factor, and Itera Networks has also extensive
experience with the operation of lawyers and service
concepts aimed at the legal profession, says Thomas
Nordby, Managing Partner at Arntzen de Besche.

- We are looking forward to a long and fruitful
cooperation with Arntzen de Besche. The agreement
involves exciting challenges for our highly skilled
team within functional outsourcing, and will
contribute to us developing further in this area,
