HCL Technologies Ltd. an Indian global IT services company has expanded its relationship with Celestica, a global provider of electronics manufacturing services (EMS), to provide SAP deployment and support. Under the terms of this three-year agreement, HCL will deploy and customize Celestica's SAP suite in a global delivery model across Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe.     

Through HCL's global implementation and support methodology, Celestica and HCL will execute common processes and adhere to common governance structures under a fully managed service – executing customer-related projects more rapidly and achieving consistent levels of service worldwide.
 
"Our goal is to drive supply chain efficiencies and integrated global services to bring cost and time-to-market benefits to our customers," said Lisa Charney, Chief Information Officer, Celestica.  "We believe that our expanded relationship with HCL will help us to achieve this goal."
 
This new contract expands upon a four-year relationship between the two companies through which HCL and Celestica have successfully provided integrated solutions to customers across the telecom, enterprise, consumer, medical, aerospace and semiconductor sectors.  Last year, the partnership was further expanded with a joint venture to provide a fully integrated product lifecycle solution to OEM customers – including product concept, design, engineering, manufacturing, fulfillment, sustaining engineering, reverse logistics and after-market services.
