HCL partners with LinkedIn to encourage users to go ‘Beyond the Contract'

SUNNYVALE, USA:HCL Technologies, a global IT services provider, has partnered with LinkedIn to launch an application aimed at encouraging users to go above and beyond the scope of their existing contracts. The application, which will launch globally in English, German and French, will highlight the changing nature of business engagements as part of the first stage of a global campaign aimed at encouraging more employees and businesses to build a ‘Relationship Beyond the Contract'.

The web-based application, which is accessible via LinkedIn's APIs and InMail feature, is aimed at encouraging users to go the extra mile by allowing them to log in and acknowledge professional relationships that they feel have gone beyond the contract. Users can access the app to add a personalized note of appreciation to their contacts which the recipient can then view, download and print.

As a leader among its peers in terms of social engagement, HCL enjoys a strong presence across social media channels with over 500,000 fans on Facebook and more than 200,000 Twitter followers. Its global ‘Relationship Beyond the Contract' campaign is launching with a view to underlining its belief that social tools such as LinkedIn will form the basis of the next stage of B2B engagement across the global industry.
