HCL Tech Bags Cloud Transformation Deal From E.ON

HCL Technologies Ltd. on Monday said it had signed a multi-year deal with E.ON, one of Europe’s biggest energy companies, to help drive the German utility’s cloud and network transformation globally.

As part of the agreement, HCL Tech will build a new private cloud and take charge of cloud and network management across E.ON’s global operations, the IT services company said in an exchange filing. E.ON serves around 47 million customers and operates a power distribution network spanning 1.6 million kilometres.

HCL Tech plans to bring in its AI Force platform to help E.ON ramp up hyperautomation, boost its cloud and network maturity, and speed up its shift to a DevOps-led, product-driven model.

The partnership is expected to help E.ON move to predictive operations, improve efficiency, and stay agile in the face of shifting market needs, HCL Tech said.
