New Delhi, Aug 26 (Inditop.com) Industrialist Shiv Nadar-promoted HCL Technologies Wednesday announced a pact with Optimation, a top company in information and communication technology in New Zealand, to offer services to the government there.
The pact calls for the two companies to draw on each other’s strengths to also offer solutions to clients in optimising their business processes.
According to Virender Aggarwal, the head for HCL’s Asia Pacific operations, the pact will result in significant number of local talent, expansion of training facilities in New Zealand and the setting up of a competency centre planned in Auckland.
“By providing the training infrastructure, we are directly addressing the wider industry skills shortage and investing in the future of our business,” he added
The financial details, however, were not specified.
“HCL’s willingness to engage on a fixed outcomes basis and to share risk is in tune with our own business philosophy,” said Optimation’s chief executive officer, Rhoda Holmes.
“In the current economic climate, we expect this approach to have broad appeal for New Zealand businesses looking to reduce costs and to get more business value out of their existing IT investments.”
