HP and Oracle pool resources

Giants HP and Oracle are pooling resources to take on emerging opportunities in the managed IT services business in the financial services and e-government sectors in India.

Said Balu Doraisamy, managing director, HP India, ““HP and Oracle have been working closely and successfully, both globally and in India, for over 20 years. HP sees a huge potential for the partnership to be successful in the financial services and e-governance space where HP’s Adaptive Enterprise framework is extremely relevant.”

According to Shekhar Dasgupta, managing director, Oracle India, “As IT infrastructures become more complex with growing demands from business, they are best managed by the people who build them. HP’s outsourcing services and Oracle’s On Demand services allow customers to do just that. The Bank of India-outsourced IT infrastructure project is an example of HP’s outsourcing and Oracle’s On Demand teams working closely together.” Dasgupta said that Oracle was witnessing increased market opportunities in the financial services and e-government space for managed services. In the e-government space, the build-operate-own and build-operate-own-transfer model was gaining acceptance as viable business models with extensive public-private partnerships.
