Wipro to Transition ArcelorMittal Messaging to New Platform
Aug. 13, 2010 Wipro Technologies has entered into a five-year agreement with ArcelorMittal 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 datacenters, spanning across North America, Latin America, East and West Europe and Asia. As part of the project, 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.
Wipro will use its Next Generation Global Command Center (GCC) for rendering the global messaging management services.
“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 are excited to further enhance the existing partnership that we have with 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.
