Satyam's aid for Dubai municipality

IT major Satyam Computer Services Ltd on Wednesday said it will implement an infrastructure lifecycle management solution for the Dubai Municipality engineering departments with a view to address its administrative and technical problems.

"The municipality will become a better business partner with its customers and suppliers, and thus enjoy better business relations with them," Virender  Aggarwal, director and senior vice- president, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, Satyam said.

The solution would help DM develop better relationships with its clients, facilitate communication with them via online requests, payments, and progress reports and would ensure that consultants and contractors are paid on time, the company informed the Bombay Stock Exchange.

After implementation, a single tool would enable DM engineering department users to manage the entire project lifecycle, planning, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, construction and maintenance, it said.

The solution would also enable employees to access ad hoc reports and online information, allow users to monitor project progress and manage project cash flow much more effectively.

The DM is one of the largest entities in Dubai, in terms of the number of people it employs, the volume of services it provides and the projects it undertakes.

The shares of the company were trading at Rs 735.25, up 1.08 per cent at the BSE.
