Noida-based HCL Technologies (HCL), on Thursday, said it had signed a five-year Digital Workplace Services agreement with Airbus, for an undisclosed amount.
HCL will establish a modernised digital workplace to enhance the user experience and service quality for most Airbus employees globally, the company said in a statement.
The company was selected as Airbus' preferred partner. It offered the broadest combination of standard functionality and innovation capabilities to generate greater efficiency and improved time to market, it said.
"The combination of HCL's scale transformational expertise and management capabilities of information technology and operational technology landscape will enable Airbus to remain at the forefront of innovation and deliver leading-edge user experiences," Sandeep Saxena, Executive Vice President (UK, France and Benelux), HCL Technologies, said.
