As per news source, Infosys has been an expert for a multi-year $1.3 billion deal from German automotive major Daimler. The automotive company is focused on infrastructure management services, networks and data centres. The deal includes transfer of 500-600 Daimler employees to the IT firm. News source also reveal that the number could be more than that.
As per the spokesperson of Daimler for digitalisation & IT for Mercedes-Benz Cars & Vans, Dora Constantinita, said, “In the area of IT, we will continue to focus our internal IT competencies on software development, thereby strengthening Daimler in the digital competition. At the same time, we will be able to benefit from the scaling effects and innovative performance of global IT companies in the areas of data centres, networks, and workplace IT.”
Constantinita said, “For this reason, we are currently investigating whether we can partially transfer these areas to an external partner. After evaluating different offers of potential candidates, we now down-selected those possible partners and proceed for exclusive negotiations with one partner for the areas data centres, networks and workplace IT. A deal has not yet been made.” Infosys said it has no comments to offer.
Infosys already serves as a strategic partner for Daimler’s European data centres. The service is delivered out of Daimler’s enterprise operations office in Bengaluru.
In recent time, Infosys has won some big deals and the $1.5-billion deal from Vanguard in August is the largest one. It involves the transfer of around 1,300 Vanguard roles to Infosys.
