Wipro Technologies, an IT services business of Wipro, has entered into a five-year agreement with ArcelorMittal to consolidate and migrate its messaging systems to Microsoft Exchange 2010 messaging platform.

Under the agreement, Wipro will host the new global messaging system on its hardware, hosted at six ArcelorMittal datacentres, spread across North America, Latin America, East and West Europe and Asia.

The company claims that it will secure ArcelorMittal’s global messaging system using Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and Archival offerings, and will also manage ArcelorMittal’s global messaging systems during the tenure of agreement.

In addition, Wipro will use its Global Command Center (GCC) for providing the global messaging management services.

Wipro Technologies senior vice president and global head for technology infrastructure services Deepak Jain said that they will implement Wipro’s Project Management and Infrastructure management space to help ArcelorMittal transition to a available, resilient and transformational Global Messaging System.

"Wipro’s technology and project management expertise coupled with global remote infrastructure management delivery model will help ArcelorMittal achieve their strategic objectives," Jain said.
