BANGALORE, INDIA: Infosys Technologies Limited announced on Wednesday that Wärtsilä, a Finland-based provider of lifecycle power solutions, has selected it as the services partner to enable the company’s multi-year transformation of its product innovation and lifecycle management.

Under the terms of the agreement, Infosys will deliver consulting and implementation services to Wärtsilä so it may migrate to a global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system to improve the speed, quality and innovation delivered to its customers, said a press release.

Wärtsilä, which provides power solutions to ship manufacturers and power plants around the world, engaged Infosys for its Product Data Management (PDM) initiative, which it has begun recently, to enable it to utilize better existing knowledge, increase business agility and streamline information flow, the release added.

Valmeeka Nathan, VP and head, Product Lifecycle and Engineering Solutions, Infosys said: “The opportunity to work with Wärtsilä aligns with our PLM transformation leadership and strategy to forge relationships with global industry leaders.”

The four-phase transformation will involve an end-to-end PDM solution deployment across Wärtsilä’s global sites.
