Wipro, the country’s third-largest software services exporter, expects to close a clutch of big-ticket outsourcing deals — each valued upwards of $100 million — in the second quarter of 2009-10.
The company claims it has a good funnel of potential clients who prefer end-to-end solutions in areas like IT services, consulting, remote management and BPO.
Confirming this, Wipro ED & CFO Suresh C Senapaty said: “We expect to win some good clients this year despite the slowdown. It is true that bids are getting complex and taking longer time to conclude.
However, we are optimistic of closing few large deals, especially in the $100-million plus range,” Mr Senapaty told ET.
Hacker attacks on Twitter & Facebook
Twitter and Facebook said they suffered service problems from hacker attacks on Thursday, raising speculation of a coordinated campaign against the world’s most popular online social networks.
Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, was knocked down by a malicious attack that prevented people from accessing its website for several hours on Thursday.
Facebook members saw delays logging in and posting to their online profiles, which the social networking site said was related to an “apparent distributed denial of service attack.”
Facebook was working with Twitter and Internet search company Google Inc to investigate further, said a person familiar with Facebook but who was not authorized to speak to the press.
Dell gets notice for over pricing
Computer major Dell India has been issued notice by a district consumer court for allegedly over pricing products and supplying a faulty laptop to a customer.
A consumer court in Shalimar Bagh, while issuing notice to Dell India earlier this week, asked the firm to file its response by December 21.
The court was hearing the plea of Archer Softech Pvt Ltd through its advocate Ankur Raheja, who alleged that the Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop it bought for Rs 69,164 turned out to be faulty.
The complainant also alleged that Dell is over-pricing its products, charging consumers much more than the maximum retail price
