TCS, Infosys, Wipro win outsourcing contract from BP Plc

27 Aug 2009 Evaluate

India’s top three technology firms—Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), Infosys Technologies Ltd and Wipro Ltd—have each won part of a five-year software outsourcing contract valued at around $1.5 billion (Rs7,320 crore) from British oil and gas firm BP Plc. IBM Corp. and Accenture Ltd are the other vendors. With this, BP has reduced the number of its technology vendors from 40 to five and expects to save as much as $500 million over the next five years.

 

IBM has won the largest pie of the contract to manage and run all of BP’s enterprise applications and service desk responsibilities, however the specific values of individual contracts were not disclosed. The three Indian vendors, which were part of the earlier line-up of 40 information technology firms, will carry out application development and maintenance work. It seems that Indian companies may not earn significant revenue from the deal, but it will help them gain expertise in the manufacturing domain in the European market, where they are keen to expand services.

 

Europe accounted for around 30% of India’s software exports of $46.3 billion in fiscal 2009
