Godrej has selected Hewlett-Packard India to implement a strategic IT outsourcing and transformation project that will include infrastructure solutions, SAP Application Services, consulting and outsourced services.

This strategic outsourced partnership between HP and Godrej will power various business transformation initiatives within Godrej and ensure long-term growth and competitive edge.

As part of the ten-year strategic outsourcing contract, HP will implement tailor made solutions for Godrej Industries and Godrej Consumer Products.
