Satyam helps a steel behemoth integrate its acquisitions

Here’s what the world’s largest steel producer has to say about Satyam:

“We have worked with Satyam on a number of different projects in multiple geographies. Satyam has proven that it can deliver cost-efficient results for us. We have developed a strong relationship with Satyam and its management and we foresee many common projects in the future.…we are streamlining and standardizing at many levels. In addition, we have to integrate multiple acquisitions per year. In 2004, for example, we had to integrate acquisitions in Poland, Bosnia, Macedonia, Romania, and in South Africa. As we standardize on SAP for example, our experience of working with Satyam for many years gave us confidence in its services and it has delivered several successful projects in the past year. These engagements were successful and they realized the foreseen benefits everybody expected. We are confident that Satyam will continue to play a key role among our IT partners as we take our company into the future."
