“We are excited to align with Keane – a larger organization with strong brand presence,” said Vikram Gulati, CEO of Intelligroup. “The combined strengths of our firms enable us to compete for large-scale enterprise application implementation, development, and integration engagements, and allow us to meet the needs of our customers from process to applications across legacy, packages, and ebusiness.”

Richard Garnick, Keane’s President of North American Services and Global Business Lines and a member of the Office of the President, summarized, “With early wins from four customers in three months of building this relationship, we are confident that customers see value from our partnership and believe we can leverage this early success with many more of our existing and potential clients.”

Services will extend across the entire enterprise application lifecycle for SAP and Oracle, including Peoplesoft and Siebel product areas – from packaged evaluation and implementation, to upgrades and migration, through support and maintenance, integration, and enhancements. Intelligroup’s suite of proprietary ERP lifecycle accelerators, such as Uptimizer for Upgrade projects, will be leveraged to ensure optimal results.
