New Delhi: That the Middle East, especially the Arab countries, are reducing their dependence on the West and China, and diversifying their portfolio in the service sector, was proved yet again with the Abu Dhabi-quartered Injazat partnering with India’s IT giant Larsen & Toubro Infotech (LTI) to accelerate digital transformation in the Middle East.
The partnership will provide ‘unparalleled’ service delivery to customers, in line with the United Arab Republic (UAE)’s vision for a digital and diversified economy, LTI, a listed company, said on Tuesday.
LTI, a global technology consulting and digital solutions company, has entered into a strategic partnership with Injazat, the UAE-based leader in digital transformation to implement its new best-shore service delivery model that is set to redefine a new era in regional digital leadership, the company said in a statement.
This partnership will see Injazat add considerable depth to its digital innovation ecosystem and customer-centric approach.
The new service delivery model implemented in partnership with LTI will provide Injazat’s customers with a hybrid of delivery approaches including onshore, best-shore, and cloud, and will further advance Injazat’s wider digital delivery ecosystem.
The partnership builds on the ongoing relationship between the two companies and consolidates Injazat’s position as the premier multi-cloud service provider in the region, with its InCloud offering, said Sanjay Jalona, CEO & Managing Director, LTI.
“Our partnership with Injazat will enhance the performance and competitiveness of enterprises seeking digital and cloud-based transformation. We look forward to bringing industry and technology expertise along with global delivery capabilities to companies in the region.”
Khaled Al Melhi, CEO, Injazat, said: “This announcement is part of a new era for our organization. Digital is now default and our vision supports the UAE’s ambition to forge a digitally-enabled future across the public and private sectors. Strengthening our existing relationship with LTI is an important part of our plan to provide digital transformation services our customers need.”
The re-engineered core service offering builds on successful projects such as Malaffi, a partnership with Abu Dhabi Department of Health to connect more than 2,000 healthcare providers, and Hassantuk, a collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Interior to install and operate state-of-the-art smart Alarm Transmission Equipment (ATE) in buildings across the UAE.
LTI, founded in 1997 as a subsidiary of L&T Ltd, helps more than 400 clients succeed in a converging world. With operations in 32 countries, it is accelerating its digital transformation with LTI’s Mosaic platform enabling their mobile, social, analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud journeys.
