Olswang has advised key client Nationwide on the outsource of its application development and maintenance in support of its internet bank and mobile bank, to technology partner IBM.  This is the first step in a major transformation programme which will see the Building Society implement an innovative multi-source technology strategy.

Kristian Laingchild, Managing Counsel of the Business Legal Team said:

"We were really impressed with the quickness in which Olswang got up to speed on the deal together with their expertise in this area and their calm and positive approach throughout.  The feedback received from our key stakeholders has been fantastic and they are really pleased with the position achieved in such tight timescales.  Finally, we really appreciated the way in which the Olswang team operated with everybody.  Indeed, the way they referred to "us" instead of "Nationwide" really stood out.  This may seem like quite a small thing but it really did make a big difference."

The Olswang team was led by Technology & Sourcing partner Dominic Dryden, with support from associate Michael Spooner and employment expert Gary Henderson.
