Microsoft Signs Deal to Outsource 600 Jobs To India’s HCL

Posted by Kim Mays Apr 9, 2009 10:41:13 AM

Despite having recently announced that it would eliminate up to 5,000 jobs across the board, Microsoft has signed a $170 million, five-year contract with India’s HCL for outsourcing work for its online services, says TechFlash.

 

The India Times reports that HCL will provide 600 employees to support the contract, and that nearly 250 workers have already begun work on the project.

 

Microsoft has not said whether this contract is to replace any existing agreements it has in India, or if this deal is an expansion of its current outsourcing scope.
