Under this commitment, Awalnet will offer the local touch-points, such as Service Desk support in Arabic. On the other hand HCL will bear the responsibility of delivering Integrated IT management services from its various globally benchmarked & ITIL aligned ISO 20000 certified centres. This will make possible the delivery of strong, process-based IT service management with predictable and constant end-user performance, encompassing the technology domains of data centre, systems, storage, networks, security and end-user IT support.

Speaking on this occasion, Kiran Bhagwanani, Country Manager, ME & India, HCL Technologies, stated, “Our joint proposition with Awalnet addresses the strong need for localized support and face that this region demands and complements the same with HCL’s globally benchmarked processes and integrated service delivery framework, providing 24X7 proactive and predictable IT service management.
