Liberty Global plc (“Liberty Global”) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB,
LBTYK), one of the world’s leading converged video, broadband and
communications companies, today announced that it has selected
Infosys (NYSE: INFY) as the strategic partner to ensure business
continuity in the company’s transfer of approximately 300 roles
across operations management and service delivery.
Following the completion of the sale of its operations in five
markets over the past two years, Liberty Global has been optimizing
its workforce to better deliver services to its customer base while
also providing services under its Transitional Service Agreements
(“TSAs”) with third-party purchasers, like Vodafone. Infosys – a
global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting –
will focus primarily on managing IT and infrastructure platforms
under the TSAs.
The new agreement provides Liberty Global with enhanced
flexibility to serve its customers, simplify, and align its
operating model with its overall existing business, while ensuring
seamless operational continuity for customers and partners. As part
of this contract, Liberty Global will transfer up to 300 employees
from its operations in The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Poland
to Infosys, helping to retain talent and expertise while also
providing access to additional resource and centres of
excellence.
“Infosys is the ideal partner to help us transform our business
to better serve consumers and our corporate customers,” said
Enrique Rodriguez, CTO of Liberty Global. “Infosys has been a
highly-valued and trusted partner to us for eight years, with
extensive industry experience and a commitment to efficiency. And
importantly, they are the right partner to provide the right home
and future career opportunities for our people who will transfer to
Infosys through this agreement.”
“We’re excited to be building on our partnership with Liberty
Global as part of a successful long-term relationship delivering
mission-critical operations across its brands,” said Anand
Swaminathan, Executive Vice President – Global Head of
Communications, Media & Technology at Infosys. “Europe is a key
geography for us; we’re investing heavily in skills development in
the region to support our clients’ digital transformation journey.
We believe our renewed partnership with Liberty Global further
underlines our commitment to Europe and our clients here.”
