Telecom Lead India: Mott MacDonald has signed a $20 million deal with Tata Communications to offer unified communications solutions for the next five years.
Partnership with Tata Communications will enable the management, engineering and development consultancy to consolidate its multiple regional systems onto a single platform.
The move will create new levels of global collaboration as well as a solid competitive advantage.
The significant investment by the consultancy will further enhance project collaboration between nearly 15,000 employees across 50 countries worldwide.
Tata Communications says it will redesign Mott MacDonald’s WAN system and infrastructure for unified communications to enable the company to centralise business collaboration tools.
Moreover, it will also create new levels of communication throughout the organisation, optimising Mott MacDonald’s investment in Microsoft Lync as the common global communications tool for both internal and external communication.
Darren Russell, global IT director, Mott MacDonald, said: “Investing in this project will provide us with the ease of access needed to keep us at the top of our industry.”
Tata Communications’ solution is based on hosting Mott MacDonald’s managed services such as MPLS, internet and voice in five data centers across the world. C
Claude Sassoulas, managing director, Europe, Tata Communications, said: “It is a major undertaking that will use all of our experience in delivering centralised IP voice and data services worldwide, across a range of emerging and regulated markets.”
