Mahindra Satyam in global pact with US firm

IT outsourcing company Mahindra Satyam has entered into a global alliance partnership with Vision Solutions, a US-based provider of IBM Power high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR) and transformation solutions.

Mahindra Satyam is the first Indian IT company to have a global tie-up with Vision Solutions and both the companies have already started delineating a joint go-to-market plan to tap into the multi-million dollar HA and DR markets.

“This tie-up will enable us to leverage the growing market for HA and DR services by exploring new markets and supporting existing customers. These solutions ensure that business-critical information is continuously protected, available, minimise downtime and enhance productivity,” AS Murty, chief technology officer of Mahindra Satyam, said in a release on Wednesday.

“We look forward to our partnership with Mahindra Satyam. Be it quality, customer service or excellence in delivery, Mahindra Satyam is a consistent performer, even during challenging times. We hope to leverage their expertise by taking our award-winning product suite to their existing large customer base and beyond,” said  Allan Campbell, vice-president (sales and channels – Asia Pacific) for Vision Solutions.

Vision Solutions has a committed investment strategy in India.  The recent appointment of Bhavik Dangarwala as regional director will be followed by further investments in 2010, he added.
