Well, Reuters is outsourcing again. But not to Bangalore or Hong Kong for its editorial service, instead it will outsource its internal computing operations to Fujitsu Services for a deal worth $1 billion. This will be a 10 year agreement and Fujitsu will deliver range of IT services to Reuters locations spread all across the world.
The contract is also covering Reuters' core IT internal services which includes custom made e-mail and desktop configuration across the globe. Fujitsu will also manage some of Reuters' other outsourcing suppliers like Satyam from India. So, the moral of the story is, you can not have an outsourcing story without India angle.
