Noida, India – March 2, 2010 – HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL), a leading global IT services provider, announced that it has been felicitated with the prestigious QCI-DL Shah National Award on Economics of Quality. The Quality Council of India (QCI) and the D.L. Shah Trust chose HCL for this award under the Large Scale Units - Service Sector category.

HCL’s entry titled ‘Operational Excellence with a human face’ leveraged psychological and production theories to reinforce best practices and simultaneously achieve customer delight, employee satisfaction and operational excellence in HCL’s back-office operations for a leading US based supplier of innovative solutions. HCL presented a Lean Six Sigma case study which led to significant improvements in quality and cycle time thereby improving the visibility, velocity and reliability of the global supply chain resulting in substantial benefits for the client. HCL accepted an SLA at 99% quality and a significantly reduced TAT. The case study proves how the HCL team exceeded the process goals by achieving a remarkable percentage in quality and by beating its own SLAs on both system efficiency and a reduced TAT while delivering incredible savings and earnings which made HCL the best choice for the Economics of Quality award.

"The QCI-D.L. Shah Award is in recognition of successful projects of an organization that has linked quality initiatives to financial gains and competitiveness. HCL’s project won the national award in the category of large service organization. The project was highly appreciated by the assessment team for application of lean management principles in a BPO environment as well as leveraging dynamics of human motivation towards improvement initiatives. This has resulted in client/end-user service improvement as well as reduction in cost of operation. We are sure the company’s leadership continues to focus on innovative practices for building competitiveness," said Avik Mitra, Advisor - National Board for Quality Promotion, Quality Council of India.

“This award reinforces HCL’s uncompromising approach to Quality and its ability to deliver continuous process improvements which is an integral part of the value we deliver to our clients. Being highly value centric, at HCL quality goes beyond implementing a set of processes; it is a passion to maintain the highest quality standards, and to deliver sustainable value to our clients,” said Rajiv Swarup, Head – Business Services, HCL Technologies Ltd.

The QCI-DL Shah Award on Economics of Quality was presented to HCL at the 5th National Quality Conclave held in New Delhi. Mr. Balasubramanian Viswanathan, Head of Corporate Quality received the award. This award comes in quick succession to HCL being the first BPO Company in the world to be appraised at Maturity Level 5 of People CMM by Scampi method.
