Satyam has experience in delivering solutions to the healthcare industry, and will continue to focus directly on this market. Now, working in collaboration with Cisco, the development of a transformational business model reinforces the collective vision of both companies to service healthcare needs by effectively leveraging technology, process and domain expertise.

Wim Elfrink, executive vice president and chief globalization officer for Cisco, said: Cisco is committed to maximizing purposeful social impact by using technology as an enabler and platform for positive change. The collaboration that we are announcing with Satyam today will serve as a globally replicable model for handling integrated health solutions that can be implemented across emerging markets. This network-centric model has the potential to play a major role in transforming the way countries deliver healthcare services to citizens.
