DnB NOR integrated the computer systems of the former DnB and Gjensidige NOR during the Easter holidays. All accounts belonging to former Gjensidige NOR Sparebank customers have been moved from EDB Business Partner to DnB NOR's own system. The process comprised about one million customers and two million accounts. The IT integration is one of DnB NOR's milestones in 2006, completing the last of the merger's major integration projects. By operating one core system, DnB NOR will achieve improved operating stability, flexible product development and reduced IT costs. The IT integration does not affect DnB NOR's operating agreements with EDB Business Partner.
