HCL Technologies Limited has announced that it has signed a two year partnership agreement with Optimation, a leading ICT services specialist in New Zealand. The new partnership will combine Optimation's local New Zealand expertise with HCL's global scale and demonstrated capability in delivering high quality IT services.
The new business partnership is expected to offer innovative and flexible solutions to New Zealand Government and enterprise customers that reliably deliver on their business goals. The strengths of both organisations will bring improved cost effectiveness, industry best practice, global capabilities and specialist skill sets to New Zealand organisations.
"We have been looking for a strategic partner in New Zealand with a strong local presence that would benefit from HCL's ability to deliver world class services at a highly competitive price point. We chose Optimation because of their long history and experience in New Zealand and their detailed understanding of the nuances in successfully winning and delivering business here," said Virender Aggarwal, Head of Asia Pacific, HCL Technologies.
The partnership will offer customers a solution mix from a range of partners including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, EMC and Filenet. Services will include business transformation, remote infrastructure management, business process outsourcing, Application Development & Maintenance, Testing, SOA and Middleware upgrades.
HCL AXON, HCL's SAP Division, will be key in providing SAP implementation and support services into the New Zealand market. "HCL AXON and Optimation will be working hand in hand to enable maximum benefits to our SAP customers and prospects. Together we will ensure true local and industry expertise for optimised business transformation at our clients," said Brian Pereira, Head of APJME, HCL AXON.
HCL has developed a very strong reputation in this part of the world and Optimation will be working with them to extend its global delivery model and existing capabilities in areas such as SAP services and large-scale application development.
