Thomson Reuters confirmed it needed to support its people with an efficient, well managed internal network and claimed the contract will enable it to meet its requirements around the world.

According to BT, it will run non-core, mission-critical network and IT services for the company, enabling Thomson Reuters to concentrate on its core business and customers. It said it has been awarded the new contract for the internal network following a ten year plus agreement with Reuters in 2005 to transform and manage the global network.

No financial details were revealed.
