Wipro Technologies, the IT wing of Wipro Limited, has entered into
a five-year agreement with ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel
company, to consolidate and migrate its messaging systems to the
Microsoft Exchange 2010 messaging platform.
Wipro will host the new global messaging system on its hardware,
hosted at six ArcelorMittal data centers, spanning across North
America, Latin America, East and West Europe and Asia. As a
critical component of this engagement, Wipro will secure
ArcelorMittal’s global messaging system using
state-of-the-art anti-virus, anti-spam and archival solutions.
Wipro will also manage ArcelorMittal’s global messaging
systems for the entire period of the
contract.
“We believe that Wipro is the right choice for transforming
our messaging systems into a state-of-the-art service. This is
vital for us as today’s communication and collaboration is
highly dependent on this service,” said Patrick Vandenberghe,
Group CIO,
ArcelorMittal.
“We will implement Wipro’s best practices in project
management and infrastructure management space to help
ArcelorMittal transition smoothly to a highly available, resilient
and transformational Global Messaging System,” said Deepak
Jain, Senior Vice President and Global Head – Technology
Infrastructure Services, Wipro Technologies.
The Technology Infrastructure Services (TIS) division contributes
about 21 percent of revenues to Wipro Technologies. Few of the
major offerings and solutions of this unit include managed
services, transformation consulting and global system integration,
unified communications, virtualization and
