Microland in global partnership with ChangeBASE

Bangalore, March 2, 2010 – Microland Limited, India’s largest specialist IT Infrastructure Services Company, today announced a global partnership with ChangeBASE AOK Limited, the global leader in automated application compatibility testing and remediation. With the addition of ChangeBASE AOK application compatibility testing and remediation capabilities to its Offshore Transformation Center (OTC) solution suite, Microland will now be able to offer an automated one stop shop for ascertaining and addressing compatibility issues of various applications while migrating to a new operating platform (such as Windows 7) to its customers globally. The partnership will help the company deliver a differentiated value proposition in the growing market for remediation requirements for migrations to Windows 7. The partnership would also allow Microland to identify and cater to demand patterns of customers and keep pace with constantly changing vendor and offshore supply environment thus building greater customer confidence and relationships.

Commenting on the partnership, Pradeep Kar, Chairman and Managing Director, Microland Limited, said, “The partnership with ChangeBASE positions us well to take advantage of the growing market for migration services to Windows 7 globally besides allowing us to extend the value proposition we offer to existing customers by adding high quality compatibility and remediation services to it.”
