HP secures $236M contract for IT outsourcing services
Avago Technologies has awarded Hewlett-Packard (HP) a $236-million services contract to provide global information technology services and operations management.
Under the terms of the 10-year agreement, Avago has selected HP for information technology (IT) outsourcing that includes application, server, network, desktop and print management as well as IT help desk services.
Avago Technologies is the largest privately held semiconductor company in the world, supplying a wide range of analog, mixed-signal and optoelectronic components and subsystems to thousands of manufacturers globally. It became an independent company last year when it was acquired by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Silver Lake Partners.
Transform
As part of the agreement, HP will help transform Avago’s IT infrastructure and applications into a flexible, scalable environment, while reducing Avago’s IT costs.
The service-based model reflects HP’s adaptive enterprise strategy, in which IT can support and enable business objectives.
“With HP’s partnership, we designed a strategic outsourcing solution that will enable us to become agile and cost competitive,” said Eugene Lau, chief information officer of Avago Technologies. “This, along with their ability to support our aggressive timeline to build our independent Avago IT capabilities by late summer 2006, set HP apart from other suppliers.”
Landscape
Over the coming months, HP will put in place a new IT applications and infrastructure capability for Avago. A key part of this environment will be the applications landscape, where HP will partner with Oracle Consulting and Satyam Computer Services Ltd. to implement and support the Oracle E-Business Suite of enterprise applications.
This environment, optimized across all of the company’s IT infrastructure elements, will allow Avago to simplify and streamline its key business processes to maximize their effectiveness.
HP also will manage and support the IT infrastructure for Avago, including servers and storage, local and wide area voice and data networks, hardware procurement and asset management. (PR)
