Software NIIT Tech scaling up ties with Holcim Our Bureau
New Delhi , April 22 NIIT Technologies Ltd today announced that it is scaling up its ongoing IT engagement with the global cement major, Holcim group. "The global cement major, Holcim group, has decided to consolidate its data centre operations for the entire Asia- Pacific region with the company. Till recently NIIT Technologies was operating a dedicated data centre for Holcim's business critical IT applications in Thailand," a company press release said here. As part of this engagement, NIIT Technologies will use its data centre and disaster recovery centre in Bangkok to help Holcim group companies in Asia-Pacific access SAP applications and services round the clock. Announcing this, NIIT Technologies' CEO, Mr Arvind Thakur, said, "Thailand has emerged as a preferred destination for managed services due to its inherent strengths of excellent IT and telecom infrastructure coupled with adequate availability of skilled manpower resources. Moreover, the presence of regional Asia-Pacific Head offices of various MNCs offers tremendous potential for technical offerings from the company". NIIT's relationship with Holcim dates back to year 2000 when it was selected to design and set up a data centre for SAP services for Siam City Cement, the Holcim's Thailand group company. In the new scenario, NIIT Technologies would be providing complete end-to-end SAP services to enable Holcim to maintain focus on running of its core businesses for all of the Group's Asia-Pacific operations.
