IT Services giant HCL announce Husqvarna Group deal

The partnership is based on the success of the University of Tennessee’s award-winning Vested business model. Vested outsourcing is a hybrid business model in which contracting parties create a formal relational contract using shared values and goals. Outcome-based economics creates win-win results and the agreement is considered mutually beneficial. 

Husqvarna to gain world-class IT foundation

Sweden-based Husqvarna Group is a leading global producer of outdoor power products, watering products, cutting equipment and power tools (with a motorcycle division that branched off in 1987 is now owned by KTM). 

Building upon HCL’s existing infrastructure and application development, the agreement aims to deliver leading-edge hybrid cloud management, digital workplace and security services. 

Pavel Hajman, Senior Vice President of Global Information Services and CIO, exclaimed: “We are excited to take our relationship with HCL Technologies to the next level. Both organisations are focused on creating business value and this is a fantastic foundation for us to continue to transform our IT operations and business. The partnership will enable us to deliver an outstanding service to our end clients and further drive our transformational programs,” he said.

Husqvarna hopes that this world-class IT foundation will enhance their service delivery and user experience for a global workforce of over 10,000 employees.
