HCL Infosystems and Educomp Solutions have agreed to work together. As per the agreement, HCL Infosystems will provide life cycle services for existing and new Educomp classrooms across India. This will include providing break-fix support and field repair services along with managing new installations of Educomp Classrooms. The service and support to Educomp classrooms would be provided by HCL Infosystems through a nationwide network of field engineers, regional repair centres and a centralized repair factory.
Harsh Chitale, CEO & Whole-Time Director, HCL Infosystems Ltd, said, "We are extremely glad to associate with Educomp on this partnership. With the rapid foray of digital imprints on education across the country, we envisage this association getting off to a very successful start and growing manifold into the future. The partnership will draw on HCL Infosystems’ strength in providing best-in-class life cycle services."
