Germany and HYDERABAD,
India, Oct 6, 2008 - Infotech Enterprises Ltd. signed with Bombardier
Transportation a new long term contract to continue to provide engineering,
electronic design, technical publications and IT-related services to
Bombardier Transportation divisions worldwide. The contract builds on a
relationship that started in 2003 and now Infotech supports all Bombardier
divisions across multiple technologies and projects in a real-time
engineering environment.
Under their renewed contract, the projects include the prestigious Delhi
Metro Phase II for which Bombardier will soon start to supply trains. The
original relationship was executed under the Build Operate and Transfer (BOT)
framework. The new contract does not have this clause which further
demonstrates Bombardier Transportation’s commitment to work with Infotech
Enterprises as a long term partner for their engineering outsourcing
requirements.
Mr. Josef Doppelbauer, CTO & Vice President Project Management,
Bombardier Transportation added: "Bombardier and Infotech have enjoyed a
long-term relationship and will continue working together to further build
our association. This renewed contract proves the strength of our business
relationship with Infotech Enterprises. Together with our long operational
manufacturing facility in Vadodara and the opening of a new rolling stock
production facility at Savli to deliver the Delhi Metro project, this
relationship will continue to further strengthen our engineering competence
within our existing Indian operations. Our relationships and own capacities
in India will not only ensure the support of local Indian projects but also
help design and deliver high quality new systems that could be utilized for
our global needs."
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Krishna Bodanapu, Sr. Vice President –
Manufacturing, Infotech Enterprises Limited said “Infotech Enterprises is
very proud to be associated with Bombardier Transportation. We started with
simple engineering tasks such as data migration in 2003. Bombardier
management team has shown exceptional vision and focus in enabling the
relationship to evolve into a strategic partnership with Infotech
undertaking complex engineering tasks in real-time projects. Infotech
Enterprises is committed to building on this relationship and we look
forward to supporting Bombardier Transportation’s continued market
leadership”.
