IT Services business has become real competitive and most of the Companies are outsourcing the entire division or departments where in they don’t have strategic interests or when the core activity of the division do not align with the vision.Using this strategy we can save a lot but again it all depends on how good are you in execution and other operations related managements.Its good to know that Indian Companies are also hiring the affected people specially when Infy is facing rough weather at home.
Below is information below out from this article.
Harley-Davidson Inc. has cut 125 information technology positions as it realigns the division, but the displaced workers have an opportunity to land new jobs with Harley or a company it has hired to handle IT services, a Harley spokesperson said.
Infosys, an India-based global technology company, on Monday announced a 5-year contract to perform IT services for Harley-Davidson, including applications management, infrastructure support and hosting. Infosys, after sealing a contract with Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson, is to set up a facility that would be its 18th in the United States. The company will have 125 workers at its Milwaukee facility, including some it expects to migrate from Harley. Infosys also will have a training center.
About 71 local Infosys positions will relate to Harley-Davidson work, said Bob Klein, Harley spokesperson. Harley is also creating 68 IT positions as part of the division’s restructuring.
The displaced Harley workers, including 83 in Milwaukee, have “preferential consideration” for the new positions, Klein said.
“Our expectation is that, while there are no guarantees, ... many would have the opportunity in these other positions,” Klein said.
Klein said IT division leaders have regularly discussed the division’s realignment with staff since the process began last fall.
The decision to outsource IT work was a result of examining Harley’s needs and the industry’s best practices. The move will increase efficiency in managing those functions and will free up internal resources to focus on Harley’s “strategic higher-level IT management,” Klein said.
In negotiating the deal with Infosys, Harley was “insistent” that it open operations in Wisconsin, Klein said.
Infosys will operate a data center in Franklin.
Infosys’ Milwaukee employees will be housed at 10850 W. Park Place. They will utilize a 16,000-square-foot suite in the 197,600-square-foot building, said Jeff Whipple, development associate with Interstate Partners of Waukesha.
