TCS, HCL, IBM in fray for Boeing applications business

BENGALURU: Boeing will transition a significant part of its engineering centre capabilities in Bengaluru to select IT services companies. The US aircraft manufacturer is outsourcing infrastructure services to Dell. This could involve some employees at the Boeing India Engineering and Technology Centre (BIETC) in Bengaluru moving to Dell, sources told TOI.

This is part of the global move, announced earlier this year by Boeing, wherein it will outsource cloud services and databases to Dell in a six-year deal that would eliminate 600 jobs.

TCS, HCL and IBM are said to be in the fray for Boeing’s applications business. The multi-year deal on infrastructure services and applications business could be valued at around $150-$200 million, sources said.
