Tech Mahindra and telecom operator Etisalat have joined hands to offer technology services to the latter’s clients.
The new arrangement would enhance the UAE-based company’s capabilities to act as a single source ‘for complete end-to-end ICT services and support’ across its operational network, according to a press statement.
“This agreement really goes beyond a simple partnership - it extends Etisalat's offering with the intellectual property for complex data solutions,” said Abdulla Hashim, senior vice-president for ICT in Etisalat.
Financial details of the partnership, which was formalised recently at the GITEX Technology Week Summit held in Dubai, were not immediately available.
