INSEAD, the leading international business school, and Ness Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTC), a global provider of information technology solutions and services, today announced a multi-year contract for outsourcing of IT services. Under terms of the agreement, Ness Technologies will provide wide-ranging IT services to assist INSEAD in optimising operational costs and improving overall IT services in order to yield greater benefits for the school’s IT investments. As part of that process, Ness will help INSEAD standardise technology across its locations in Abu Dhabi, Fontainebleau, New York, Singapore, and Tel Aviv.

The scope of services will include provisioning of an Operations Centre and Network Services, Application Development, as well as onsite support. The engagement will largely be driven out of Singapore with onsite teams in each of the locations.

‘Partnering with Ness optimizes our IT cost structure while improving access to diverse expertise. This partnership with Ness is paving the way to introduce innovative technologies, solutions and processes at INSEAD,’ said Karl Reisinger, INSEAD Chief Information Officer. ‘A global footprint, proven competence in a variety of skill-sets, and an agility that complements changing market demand, made Ness the right choice to reach our short- and long-term technology objectives.’

‘We are delighted to have INSEAD as our valued client,’ said Madhujeet Chimni, Managing Director for Ness in Asia Pacific. ‘As a truly global business school, its IT, telephony, audio/visual and operations centre are mission-critical. We are honoured to complement the school’s in-house IT teams in so many different functions.’
