The Hindu Business Line : Tech Mahindra tool to check intellectual property leakage

Appraisal for SSE CMM Level 3, setting up an own campus at Hinjewadi and launch of the Inte-leak solution looks the roadmap for Tech Mahindra, providers of solutions to telecom companies.

Talking to presspersons, Dr Premchand, Vice-President and Business Head, Tech Mahindra, said the company would be launching the Inte-leak (Intellectual Property Leakage Solution), in the market within four months. This is a digital rights management solution that would ensure that security remained the top priority and leakage of information at any point was halted. He said the company had already done the beta testing for a company and was looking at the segments of health, pharma, banking etc for its applications.

He said the company was looking at about three per cent of revenues from this segment in one year.

Dr Premchand said the company has developed solutions for the enterprise market and is also working on a media digital rights management solution. He said it has also developed an IPTV solution which would be helpful to the distribution network wherein the material could not be copied without making the payment. He noted that this would help in reducing piracy .

The solution helps plug the leakage at all points as it gets tagged along with the information that is being copied or downloaded. Mr C.P. Gurnani, President, International Operations, Tech Mahindra, said the company would begin the construction of its Hinjewadi campus by next month and is expected to be completed within a year. He said the campus would be spread over a milion sq. ft and the first phase would be ready by next year and would take in an investment of Rs 250 crore. Mr John Hopkinson, President, ISSEA (International Systems SecurityEngineering Association), said Tech Mahindra has been appraised for the SSE-CMM Level 3 (Systems Security Engineering Capability MaturityModel). He added that theirs is the first Asian company to have been appraised for this level and is amongst three companies worldwide appraised for this level.
