Satyam, TechMa in pact with CA Tech

Satyam Computer Services and Tech Mahindra have joined hands with Nasdaq-listed CA Technologies, a global IT management and security software and solutions company, for system integration partnership globally. The tie-up includes developing application performance management, test automation, content security and MSP offerings.

Under the global framework agreement (GFA) signed by the companies, Tech Mahindra and Satyam have set up Mahindra CA Research Centre at Pune with an initial headcount of about 70 associates. The offerings developed through the initiative would be aimed at several key sectors including telecom, manufacturing, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) and healthcare verticals.  “This relationship will provide a platform to co-invest in creating business solutions together to meet next generation needs of global CXOs. This arrangement is closely aligned with our strategy of building an ecosystem of like-minded partners,” CP Gurnani, CEO of Satyam, said. 

Tech Mahindra and Satyam, together with CA Technologies, are already providing turnkey cloud computing services based on CA’s tools. “Innovation and meeting market needs through strong partnerships are at the core of CA Technologies growth strategy.

As we continue to grow in the global market, our partnership with Tech Mahindra and Satyam enables us to address the ever changing needs within the IT landscape through a combined, broad solution and services portfolio.” Bill McCracken, CEO, CA Technologies, said.

Meanwhile, CA Technologies is evaluating acquisition opportunities in India as well. “We are constantly scouting for potential targets across the world and probably have
between 200 and 300 companies on our radar at any given point of time. India is a good technology location and hence a good target for us,” McCracken said.
