NBAD has increased its partnership with BT to help its growth in Europe via its London hub.

NBAD, which has had operations in London since 1977, is looking to expand in Europe through its facilities in London. The contract also gives NBAD clients access to trading applications and services through BT Radianz Cloud from the London hub.

The new deal is an extension of a 2012 contract between the two firms for managed network services. Currently, BT links NBAD's centralized IT services from its data center in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to 12 branches of its international network.

BT will also provide NBAD with managed data center services from the BT Compute portfolio, managed IP telephony from the BT One portfolio, converged LAN services and managed WAN services from the BT Connect portfolio, business continuity services and managed security services from the BT Assure portfolio.

"With a growing international network, NBAD has the ambition of being the world's best Arab bank," said Mike Austin, Group CIO at NBAD, in a statement. "Working in partnership with BT we have already been able to provide consistent service quality across all of our branches. Seamless connectivity between our branches and systems is therefore crucial for us and for our customers."
