HCL outbids IBM, grabs U.S. firm's deal
By
SiliconIndia,Tuesday, 30 June 2009, 00:11 Hrs
New Delhi: HCL has signed a five-year IT applications support and infrastructure management deal with U.S. based flavored beverages firm Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS). HCL won the deal competing against the top multinational IT firms including IBM, having no other Indian IT firm in the race. DPS is an existing client of the Indian IT firm.
According to Shami Khorana, HCL America President, the DPS deal is the fourth largest outsourcing contract grabbed by the IT firm in the U.S. this year, while the other three were, a $350-million contract from The Reader's Digest Association, a $100-million deal from Xerox and another with Viacom for an undisclosed amount.
The Indian IT firm will provide services such as end-user computing, integrated service desk, network management and managed print services, for which HCL had tied up with Xerox last year. DPS will also become HCL's anchor service desk customer at the IT firm's Raleigh delivery facility in the U.S.
Consumer packaged goods (CPG) and retail contribute about 6.5- 7 percent to HCL's revenues.
"This will be a large growth vertical for us going forward.," said Khorana.

1: You people just heard about Imaginative
Nilekani and the “Unique Identity
Authority of India†...can anyone from
'HCL' imagine also being given such
respect...
And this is all b'coz of Infy and the way it's run...
Do we need any discussion on comparing Infy with HCL.

2:Being ex HCL employee - Appreciate HCL on
winning great deal against top Global IT
company IBM. HCL needs to make sure they
deliver on commitments. That is the big
challenge where HCL faces problem as HCL is
Sales driven Organization as compare to INFY
/ TCS which are operation driven
organizations. Also, HCL needs to get away
with their internal politics which works
against them to retain the talent. HCL losses
40% of their work force on yearly basis in
many pockets of Application technology areas.
As HCL grows it will have many losses to
worry about than the wins.....They can't
provide focus / attention to the existing
customers. Their CXO level folks come when
the deal is on the table they will not be
seen once the deal is won. As I said It is a
sales driven organizations...I would define
HCL as a very fragile organization just like
another Satyam....They will never be listed
on Nasdaq / US stock exchange becasue of the
obvious reason. Hey, Don't take me wrong - It
is a great organizattion to know for their
employee last first initiative. Please don't
take me wrong as Babejanee...He is talking
from his

should have come to Infy/TCS.Stupid companues
like HCL don't deserve these projects.
HCL is nothing in front of Infy/TCS.

better if these big projects are handeled by
Infy/TCS.
HCL can never work like them, we suck. Our work culture is horrible ,no work ethics nothing.

41: I am agree with the fact that there is lot of
politics going inside the HCL.This can be
seen in many projects.I have seen that
personally and also seen many victim of
that.But since HCL is quite a big company
with many employees working in it..these
things are unnoticed..but remember this is
the main reason for high attrition rate in
HCL..there are very few people who stay here
for long..Higher Management need to look into
it..
