HCL Technologies (HCL), a global technology company, announced a multi-year contract with Hitachi ABB Power Grids to build a new greenfield digital foundation as part of a global transformation programme.
Through this engagement, HCL will help Hitachi ABB Power Grids establish a new, efficient and modern independent IT organisation. The engagement will support its continued business transformation by reducing dependency on the historic ABB IT services infrastructure.
Hitachi ABB Power Grids was formed in 2020 as a joint venture (JV) between Hitachi and ABB to create a new global leader in pioneering power and digital technologies.
As part of the new digital foundation, HCL will provide hybrid cloud services, digital workplace services, next-gen network services, unified service management and cyber security services.
Leveraging HCL’s cloud smart offerings, Hitachi ABB Power Grids will benefit from an adaptive portfolio with innovative cloud services driven by automation and a partner ecosystem.
These capabilities will enhance Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ operations in over 90 countries and improve end-user experiences for its 36,000 employees worldwide.
HCL will establish strategic digital platforms, global standardisation of IT services and futureproof solutions to keep pace with changing business requirements and evolving technology capabilities.
