Three-year Integrated Web Services program to allow Melbourne IT to fully leverage value of customer base

Noida, India / Melbourne, Australia - APRIL 30, 2010 - Melbourne IT today announced that it has signed a deal with HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL), a leading global IT services provider, to support its Integrated Web Services (IWS) business transformation project.

HCL is one of the partners to Melbourne IT, that will support IWS, a three year, $18 million IT integration project which will allow Melbourne IT to fully leverage the value of the company's customer base by enabling the business to sell customers the full suite of services across business units and geographies. The project will provide Melbourne IT with a single view of each customer globally, improve revenue realisation through stronger billing processes and deliver productivity, efficiency and cost savings benefits by enforcing process consistency and reducing the number of systems requiring IT support.

"Melbourne IT is pleased to have secured the services of HCL Technologies for this key project. The IWS project is a mission critical part of accelerating the future growth of our organisation and we are confident that bringing HCL's experience and expertise on board will help ensure the complete success of the project," Melbourne IT Chief Operating Officer, Damian Walsh, said.

Virender Aggarwal, Executive Vice President for APAC & MEA, HCL Technologies, said: "We are delighted to be the partner of choice to Melbourne IT. With over 1,000 professionals servicing our operations across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, HCL is well geared to service our customers in the region. Melbourne IT has a culture of customer centricity, innovation and continuous improvement and by drawing on HCL's global integration experience and local capabilities, this program will enable them to have the flexibility to create streamlined operations, resulting in enhanced experience for their customers and increased value to their bottom line."

"Post global financial crisis, organizations are looking at enhancing their business competitiveness and are undergoing significant transformation in the process. This has created tremendous opportunities for organisations like ours to provide IT services that redefine the core of customers' business and help them transform and evolve," added Mr Ram Krishna, Senior Corporate Vice President, EAS, ETS and M&A, HCL Technologies. "Melbourne IT is a prestigious project for us. We are committed to creating innovative solutions which will result in increased revenue realisations, enhanced productivity and definitive cost savings for the customer."

As part of the IWS project, Melbourne IT and HCL Technologies will also work closely with Oracle to implement a unified financial management system to improve billing processes across the company. The IWS project is now underway and is expected to be completed in 2012.

HCL's ETS practice offers a seamlessly integrated approach towards business processes, technology, application and data to deliver end-to-end services that supports transformation across the enterprise. Benefits from enterprise transformation services include reduced IT intensity (IT spend to revenue ratio), operational excellence, customer intimacy and thus achievement of business goals. With operations in 26 countries, the company has a rich heritage of delivering IT solutions across a cross-section of industries, and is successfully working with some of the leading names across the globe including Electrolux, Boeing, MTV Networks, Dr Pepper Snapple Group and Merck.
