HCL Technologies köper C3i Solutions
Uppköpet ett steg i HCL:s satsning inom biovetenskap och konsumentprodukter
Noida, India och Horsham, PA, 9:e april, 2018 – IT-konsultjätten HCL Technologies Limited (HCL), har köpt C3i Solutions av Merck & Co., Inc, vilka i Sverige är mest kända som MSD. C3i Solutions är ledande när det gäller kundvårdslösningar på marknaderna för biovetenskap och förpackade konsumentprodukter (CPG).
Genom uppköpet kompletterar HCL sina IT- och affärsutvecklingstjänster inom biovetenskap och konsumentproduktmarknaden med den djupa branschkompetens som C3i har. C3i:s expertis inom säljsupport och starka partnerskap med branschledande produktföretag kommer att ge HCL möjlighet att bli ännu bättre på att leverera biovetenskapsrelaterade tjänster med patienten i fokus och att erbjuda mer effektiva tjänster till IT- och affärspartners inom sjukvården. Uppköpet bygger vidare på ett mer än 13 års långt IT-partnerskap mellan HCL och Merck & Co., Inc., inklusive tjänster inom ramen för HCL:s tjänstestrategi Mode 1-2-3.
Partnerskapet bygger även vidare på HCL:s satsningar inom tjänster för att optimera kundvård- och kundengagemang, särskilt genom att implementera advanced analytics, IOT och digitalisering. Det C3i bidrar med kommer dessutom att bli allt viktigare i takt med att branschen blir mer digitaliserad och mer beroende av starka och individanpassade kundupplevelser.
- C3i ger HCL innovativa och kompletterande tjänster och en omfattande kundbas som stärker HCL:s position som ledande IT-tjänsteleverantör ytterligare, säger C Vijayakumar, President och CEO, HCL Technologies. Uppköpet kommer att hjälpa HCL:s kunder inom biovetenskapsbranschen att bli mer patientinriktade och att utveckla lösningar som adresserar den digitala revolution som präglar branschen. Vi tilltalades också av C3i ledning och anställda och vi önskar dem varmt välkomna till HCL.
- HCL och C3i Solutions matchar varandra som företag genom att vi båda sätter kunden i centrum, säger Joel Morse, President, C3i Solutions. Det är också därför som vi anser att företagen är som gjorda för varandra. Förutom att HCL:s produkt- och tjänsteportföljer tilltalade oss, kommer vi och våra kunder att ha stor nytta av HCL:s djupa teknikkunskaper och innovativa arbetssätt. Det innebär att vi kan fortsätta att leverera supporttjänster av högsta kvalitet.
