HCL Technologies has received a five-year infrastructure services deal from UK-headquartered mining company Anglo American. Anglo American is a diversified mining company listed in Johannesburg Stock Exchanges and has operations across Southern Africa, North and South America and Australia with a workforce of 69,000 people.
HCL Tech has been an IT service provider to Anglo American. The Indian IT services major said, “HCL was enlisted as Anglo American’s IT services partner in 2013 and has served in the same role for De Beers (85% owned by Anglo American), since 2014,” and with the renewal deal for five-year it would “further improve quality and consistency” of the technology infrastructure.
Sandeep Saxena, senior vice president of HCL Tech said, “our engagement with Anglo American has expanded into other areas where we can drive further value for its business through our more strategic Mode 2 offerings, such as Cloud Native Services. This is down to the strength of our working relationship with Anglo American, which gives it the trust that we can and will deliver on our commitment.”
“Our global delivery model also has a particularly important role to play, adding significant value through a mix of onsite and offshore technical skills that set Anglo American on course for future success,” he added.
The company also said it would continue to support Anglo American through the adoption of cloud; reducing its global data centre footprint through continued consolidation of its on-premise infrastructure and partial migration to an infrastructure-as-a-service operating model.
