Dex One ties up with HCL for digital platform

NEW DELHI: U.S.-based marketing consultancy Dex One Corp said on Thursday it will partner with India's No. 4 software services firm HCL Technologies for its digital platform, as part of its $140 million cost-cutting plan in 2011.

Financial details of the deal were not provided.

“Dex One will realign its IT operations to integrate and partner with HCL for a number of IT services, which will be supported by HCL locations in Cary, North Carolina and India,” Dex One said in a statement.

U.S. companies typically outsource IT-related work to Indian firms, which may see jobs getting transferred, or may even result in workforce reduction.
