Mahindra Satyam to explore New Zealand market with Gen-i

IT outsourcing company, Satyam Computer Services Limited (rebranded Mahindra Satyam), has entered into a strategic alliance with Australasia’s information and communications technologies (ICT) provider Gen-I for migration services of Microsoft’s Windows 7, which was launched on October 22. “We have been providing Windows 7 migration services to our internal customers across all the geographies. This strategic alliance with the local partner Gen-i will allow us to explore opportunities in the New Zealand market more efficiently,” a Satyam spokesperson told Business Standard. “Today’s agreement with Gen-I leverages both the companies’ expertise to enable customers to realise and improve user experience with greater reliability and lower total cost of ownership. We believe this is where we can make a real difference and add value to our customers,” Mahindra Satyam chief executive officer CP Gurnani stated in a press release today. Mahindra Satyam’s Windows 7 migration approach includes tools for automated testing, automated remediation and packaging for Vista, Windows 7 and App-V that aids enterprises to automate 90 to 95 per cent of its remediation requirements. This will help reduce the compatibility testing and remediation costs of up to 40 to 50 per cent.
