Metasite collaboration with Sampo Bank extended

VILNIUS, LITHUANIA, April 30, 2002 – Metasite has been granted a new contract to provide consulting, technical support and web systems development services to Sampo Bank in Lithuania.

This follows the successful development and launch of the Sampo Bank online portal in winter 2002. During the five months engagement, Metasite strategy consultants, e-marketing experts and software engineers collaborated with Sampo Bank in creation of an entirely new online financial portal, reachable through the www.sampo.lt address. The site pioneered the use of customer-needs oriented site navigation systems among the Lithuanian financial institutions, reflecting the broader strategy of Sampo Bank to become a leading retail banking institution in the country through customer focus and high quality services.
