Tech Mahindra and Cisco partner to drive digital revenue

Tech Mahindra has deployed Cisco Digital Network Architecture at its Hyderabad Campus, to make it one of the largest Software Defined Campus Networks with over 14,000 live users in India.

 
This new deployment builds on a long-standing partnership between Tech Mahindra and Cisco that will help drive outcomes around automation, analytics and security in Tech Mahindra’s Off-Shore Development Centre (ODC) which serves 106 customers globally. Through this deployment, the ODC onboarding time has reduced by over 70% and can now offer enhanced user mobility and security. 

Tech Mahindra and Cisco have a 360-degree engagement for close to two decades and have collaborated on go-to-market strategies in areas that include smart cities, manufacturing, retail, banking, and other areas. 

 
Sharing insights on the strategic partnership with Cisco, CP Gurnani, MD and CEO, Tech Mahindra, said, “Tech Mahindra’s partnership with Cisco is very effective and has converged on areas such as the DNA (Digital Network Architecture). Networks today across enterprises play a critical role but need modernization to keep pace with the demands of today’s digital age. Modern networks are intuitive, data driven and enable a seamless convergence of business and technology. This is where Cisco’s leadership is helping reboot today’s networks and our collaboration in this space can create immense value. Leveraging Cisco’s technology, we have deployed one of the largest Software Defined Networks in our Hyderabad campus”.
 

Chuck Robbins, Chairman & CEO, Cisco Systems, said, “We have a 360-degree relationship that is beneficial for both of us across many aspects, including areas such as cybersecurity and IoT. As the world digitizes, the underlying technology grows more complex. Our partnership focuses on extracting that complexity out for our customers and give them the ability to Digitize in an agile way.”

 
The multifaceted strategic interlock brings together Cisco's technology prowess and Tech Mahindra’s leadership and expertise across diverse industries and market segments in India. Tech Mahindra will take the digital-ready infrastructure that the company has deployed to its end customers, especially in the vertical of FSI, manufacturing, and retail. 

The strategic partnership will be a key driver of growth and is expected to grow in the next one year.
