Wipro signs pact to implement Messaging service with Arcelor

Wipro Technologies has signed a five-year agreement with steel company ArcelorMittal to implement messaging service for Arcelor. Under the agreement, Wipro will consolidate and migrate Arcelor's messaging systems to the Microsoft Exchange 2010 messaging platform.

As per the engagement, ArcelorMittal's global messaging system will be secured by Wipro using anti-virus, anti-spam and archival solutions. It will host the new global messaging system on its hardware, hosted at six ArcelorMittal data-centres, spanning across North America, Latin America, East and West Europe and Asia.

This engagement will help transform ArcelorMittal's messaging environment and curtail their global messaging spending. Wipro will use its Next Generation Global Command Center for rendering the global messaging management services.




According to Deepak Jain, Senior Vice President and Global Head - Technology Infrastructure Services, Wipro Technologies, the company will use its best practices in Project Management and Infrastructure management space to help ArcelorMittal transition smoothly to a highly available, resilient and transformational Global Messaging System.

21 percent of revenues to Wipro Technologies come from Technology Infrastructure Services. This unit includes few other offerings like Managed Services, Transformation Consulting and Global System Integration, Unified Communications, Virtualization and Consolidation.
