HCL Technologies joins the Windows Vista Application Compatibility Factory

HCL Technologies Ltd on May 03, 2007 has announced that it has joined the Windows Vista Application Compatibility Factory (ACF). The ACF helps enterprises assess and remediate their existing applications to help ensure Windows Vista compatibility and accelerate rollout. In addition to producing a documented application inventory and reducing the complexity of migration to Windows Vista, the ACF can provide significant cost savings in a desktop deployment project and shorten the deployment lifecycle, thereby providing Companies with quicker return on investment.

The announcement was made at "Mayflower," a CIO conclave hosted by the Company and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) focused on collaborative transformation. Taking place at Microsoft's Redmond campus, the one-day customer-focused event features various sessions on mainframe migration, Windows Vista compatibility, modernization of legacy assets, platform optimization through Software as a Service (SaaS), and enabling the connected enterprise through Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Key executives from both Companies including the Company's President Vineet Nayar, will be delivering presentations and leading sessions for representatives of the two Companies’ Fortune 1000 customers.

"ACE will help our customers more clearly define the roadmap for their IT infrastructures, providing them with the dual benefit of predictability and efficiency, while also mitigating the risks of migration," stated Shami Khorana, President, HCL America. "As a result of our strong collaboration with Microsoft spanning more than 25 years, we are pleased to be able to offer best-in-class solutions and support to help drive business transformation within enterprises around the world."

Launched by the HCL's Infrastructure Services Division (HCL ISD), a subsidiary of the Company, the 'Zero Touch' Desktop Deployment Solution for Windows Vista is a completely automated process to enable enterprises to minimize risk, bring higher visibility and reduce deployment cost by more than 40 percent.
