HCL, Cisco launch South African Glocal Centre of Excellence in Johannesburg

29 Mar 2012 Evaluate

Leading global IT services provider HCL Technologies (HCL), has strategically aligned with Cisco to open a South Africa Glocal Centre of Excellence (GCoE) in Johannesburg as part of its commitment to build a socially responsible business.

The Johannesburg GCoE will serve as a local support center for HCL and Cisco’s South African clients. It will also train local engineers on advanced Cisco technologies to support clients across Africa and specifically South Africa.

The company has established Global Cisco Hub in India and has over 15 years’ experience in creating engineering talent in advanced technologies. Further, the South Africa’s GCoE which will be operated by HCL, will be aligned with the India hub to address the skills shortage for advanced technologies in both regions.

HCL has already trained an initial batch of 26 local engineers who are already deployed on key projects in five regional hubs  across South Africa, with plans to train 100 engineers at the centre over next 12 months.

HCL Technologies is a leading global IT services company, working with clients in the areas that impact and redefine the core of their businesses. Since its inception into the global landscape after its IPO in 1999, HCL  focuses on ‘transformational outsourcing’, underlined by innovation and value creation, and offers integrated  portfolio of services including software-led IT solutions, remote infrastructure management, engineering and  R&D services and BPO.
