HCL Tech, British Barclays expand strategic IT pact

New Delhi: Information technology services company HCL Technologies on Tuesday announced the expansion of its strategic relationship with Great Britain's Barclays.

"As part of the deal, it is intended that approximately 460 Barclays employees in its operations centre in Lithuania will transfer to HCL, which promises to start a new era of technology centres in Lithuania.

The agreement with HCL forms the basis of the Barclays' decision to conclude its operations in Lithuania, with remaining employees being offered redundancy," an HCL release said.
