Telenor Norway has entered into an IT collaboration agreement with Accenture (NYSE: ACN) to help manage the development and maintenance of IT systems within the mobile value chain.

Accenture will be responsible for managing some of Telenor Norway's IT systems, including its web solutions, and systems related to sales, orders, and billing. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Telenor is an engine within the development of telecommunications services in Norway and abroad. Now we are entering into a strategic cooperative relationship with Accenture, a leader in developing and delivering IT managed services. Accenture will help increase our expertise while providing us with great flexibility and extra capacity to resolve major tasks in the future, said Berit Svendsen, CEO, Telenor Norway.
