Global steel company ArcelorMittal has awarded IT services provider Wipro a five-year transformational engagement consolidate and migrate its messaging systems to the Microsoft Exchange 2010 messaging platform.

The agreement will see Wipro host the new global messaging system on its hardware, hosted at six ArcelorMittal datacentres, spanning across North America, Latin America, East and West Europe and Asia.

As a critical component of this contract, Wipro will secure ArcelorMittal’s global messaging system using state-of-the-art anti-virus, anti-spam and archival solutions.

Wipro will also manage ArcelorMittal’s global messaging systems for the entire period of the contract. This engagement will help transform ArcelorMittal’s messaging environment and curtail their global messaging spending.

Wipro will use its Next Generation Global Command Center (GCC) for rendering the global messaging management services.
