Embratel Outsources its Entire IT Infrastructure to IBM

Embratel, the incumbent telecommunications provider in Brazil, will outsource its entire IP infrastructure, ranging from e-mail to billing, to IBM. IBM’s services will include Embratel’s central and internal data processing operations, which currently encompass main frame computers, over 224 mid-range systems and 27,000 PCs, workstations and notebooks. During the first year, the services will continue to be operated within Embratel’s facilities. From the second year on, the central site will move to IBM’s Service Megacenter in Hortolandia, in the State of Sao Paulo. The 10-year contract is one of the largest ever closed for IBM in Brazil.
