90 applications, primarily in retail banking, will be outsourced to Atos. The service starts on 1 December and the IT staff will be transferred then. The staff affected come mostly from Frankfurt, with a few more based in Hamburg. They are a mixture of developers and project managers.
Dresdner CIO Friedrich Wöbking said in a statement: "The long-term collaboration of both companies will pave the way for reacting faster, more efficiently and more flexibly to new requirements in banking IT."
