Indian IT giant Tech Mahindra inaugurates delivery centre in Denmark
In 2009, KMD – one of Denmark’s leading IT companies with an emphasis on public sector solutions - partnered with Tech Mahindra to augment its SAP, testing and application development capabilities. The Danish IT company is now taking this cooperation to the next level by outsourcing an entire IT infrastructure division to Tech Mahindra.
“We have enjoyed a good and strategic collaboration with Tech Mahindra for many years. The latest it-operations agreement with Tech Mahindra is a considerable investment in a general modernisation of the technological platform to the benefit of our customers. We are happy to welcome them as our new neighbours in Ballerup, and we are sure that the new office will give the team – including 60 former KMD employees - the ideal setting for the development of competitive solutions for KMD,” says Executive Vice President in KMD, Michael Holmberg Andersen.
Vikash Chowdhary, Head of Business at Tech Mahindra Denmark agrees:
The fact that KMD trusts us to run the entire cloud infrastructure project is a great endorsement of the quality of work we have delivered and a testament to the success of the partnership between our two companies. Denmark is an interesting and in many regards front running market. This is something our company would like to contribute to and benefit from through even more Danish engagements. Our new setup in Ballerup is a good starting point.
One of the Danish partners who is helping Tech Mahindra in expanding activities and tapping into new capabilities in the Danish market is Invest in Denmark under the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Danish Ambassador to India, Peter Taksøe, explains:
“Denmark is a leading country when it comes to clean technologies and smart city solutions, but we need to team up with the best global players like The Mahindra Group to turn our vision into reality. I am very pleased to see how far Tech Mahindra has made it in Denmark, and my colleagues from Invest in Denmark will continue to investigate relevant business opportunities to a mutual benefit."
