54million Euro Outsourcing Contract with Alcatel Lucent

So why is the Alcatel Lucent outsourcing contract a landmark deal for Harvey Nash?

Apart from the size of the deal, which in its self is significant, the fact that we gather under one roof 180 of the best telecommunications software engineers and scientists in the world is awesome. Add into the mix 2500 software engineers in our centres in Vietnam and you have a potent mix of skills to deliver world class telecoms solutions to add to the existing financial service, media and commercial applications capabilities that already exist.

The Vietnamese are considered to be some of the best mathematicians in the world (3rd in the last global Mathematics Olympiad) which is why they have such high productivity as software engineers. With 180 of the best brains in the business working with them, our Vietnamese team will learn fast enabling us to create a centre of excellence with scalability to compete with the best.

That is not the end of this story; the skills are very transferable. Embedded coding skills are available with experience in the automotive, aerospace and consumer environments.

Harvey Nash now has:

·2500 highly skilled software engineers available in Vietnam

·Nearly 250 onshore engineers in UK, USA and Germany

·The knowledge and scale to support substantial contracts

·A broad experience in applications development and testing

·Wireless technology expertise plus state of the ART labs

·A low cost delivery option

Now that is what I call landmark!
