Sunnyvale, Calif./Noida, India – January 06, 2010 – HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL), a leading global IT services provider, today announced that Cisco, the worldwide leader in networking, has named HCL an inaugural member of the Cisco Eos Partner Program, an ecosystem developed to help Media and Entertainment companies enhance entertainment experiences built on the Cisco Eos™ social entertainment platform.

Cisco Eos is a hosted “software as a service” platform that enables Media and Entertainment companies to more economically create, manage and monetize social entertainment experiences built around their portfolios of branded content. By leveraging the Cisco Eos platform, organizations can generate revenue and loyalty by engaging online audiences with interactive, social experiences while eliminating the need to invest in, develop and maintain a proprietary web platform internally.

Through this relationship, Cisco Eos customers can leverage HCL’s deep-rooted expertise in social media and end-to-end platform-driven technology solutions to help them design and deploy Eos-powered websites and optimize platform management and operations. HCL’s flexible global delivery model will enable organizations to achieve superior performance while significantly reducing costs.

“HCL has played a pioneering role in leveraging a platform-driven approach, and remains committed to providing innovative solutions to its media and entertainment clients,” said Karan Puri, senior vice president and global vertical head, retail, media and telecom, HCL. “We are pleased that our expertise and leadership in this arena has positioned us as a Cisco Eos partner. We are committed to creating transformational value for Cisco in this engagement and look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship.”

“Cisco Media Solutions Group is pleased that HCL has demonstrated its commitment to the Cisco Eos platform by building a strong portfolio of services practices and software expertise,” said Loretta Brown, vice president, Cisco Media Solutions Group Services and Support. “We are confident that HCL will bring value to our media & entertainment customers.”

HCL’s Media and Entertainment practice offers end-to-end, business-driven technology solutions to the publishing, gaming, music, ISV, business information services, broadcasting and new media sectors worldwide, through in-depth domain knowledge and expertise garnered from long-term customer relationships and strategic partnerships with many of the world’s leading Media and Entertainment companies.

“With more than three decades’ of experience helping large corporations address complex engineering environments, HCL integrates the right capabilities and business models to ensure organizations such as Meggitt establish a competitive advantage,” said Sandeep Kishore, Senior VP and Global Head of Sales & Practice, HCL ERS. “HCL’s alignment to the key business imperatives of Meggitt and synergy with business objectives proved to be the biggest differentiators during the evaluation process and culminated in this strategic win.”
