Serena Chooses HCL Technologies to Provide End-to-End Software Lifecycle Management
HCL Technologies Ltd. ("HCL") announced a significantly expanded partnership with Serena Software, Inc. Further strengthening a seven-year relationship between the two companies, HCL will now provide end-to-end product development, sustenance engineering and release management for Serena® PVCS® Professional and Serena® Dimensions® RM, and will open a dedicated offshore development center for Serena.
"HCL's relationship with Serena has grown substantially in size and strategic relevance," said Sandeep Kishore, SVP, Hi-Tech and Manufacturing at HCL Technologies. "This expanded partnership is testimony to HCL's 360-degree relationship model with ISVs, which renders mutual benefit to both organizations. With an engineering DNA and process rigor to take over complete end-to-end software product development, along with engineering partnerships with a large number of ISVs, we're confident HCL will help enable Serena to focus on innovative technologies that will boost the company's growth initiatives."
"Considering our long-term relationship with HCL as both a customer and a partner, coupled with the company's high proficiency in offering lifecycle engineering services to ISVs, expanding on our existing partnership was both a strategic move and an obvious progression," said Carl Theobald, SVP, Products at Serena Software.
