Air India seeks outsourcing savings
Air India, India's national airline, has announced plans to outsource some of its IT functions in the near future, reports Sourcing Focus.
The airline confirmed the move was a bid to cut costs at the carrier. The move is reportedly part of a wider plan to hive off Air India's various business units.
From the beginning of the airline's new financial year it will create profit centres around its cargo handling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maintenance, repair and overhaul divisions. Air India currently has around 30 500 employees and salary payment is its second largest cost after its fuel bills.
$1bn IT outsourcing deal on hold
The decision of state-owned BSNL's board to put its tender for 93 million GSM lines 'on hold' will result in the telco's $1 billion IT outsourcing contract also being put 'on hold'. This is because, the IT contract is linked to the GSM lines taking off, says Economic Times.
The delay will impact IT firm HCL Infosystems, which will be supported by HP and Convergys for the contract and is assured of 50% of BSNL's Rs 2 000-crore (R3 billion) IT deal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as it was the lowest bidder for all four zones. The project was split into four zones to allow companies to bid separately for each zone.
Other IT majors that will be impacted include TCS, which can bag the remaining 50% of the contract,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the Mahindra Satyam/Spanco combine, which stands a chance to win part of the deal.
