Elders partners with HCLTech on digital transformation

HCLTech has been selected to help Australian agribusiness Elders accelerate digital transformation across its business operations.

Under the multiyear IT services partnership, HCLTech will provide managed IT services and a diverse portfolio of IT capabilities, including the ability to harness AI offerings. HCLTech will also be responsible for application development and management, digital workplace capabilities, infrastructure, cybersecurity and data management for Elders.

“We are proud to partner with Elders for the next phase of its digital transformation,” said Michael Horton, Executive Vice President and Country Manager, Australia and New Zealand, HCLTech.

“This is a great endorsement of our capabilities and expertise in cloud migration. By adopting a cloud-first approach, Elders will continue to offer customers and employees an excellent user experience. Further, to support the next phase of Elders’ digital transition we will continue to provide consistent on-the-ground support from our Adelaide delivery centre,” he said.

Scott Placentino, Head of IT Operations at Elders, said the move is a logical continuation.

“Delivering reliable IT services to our staff across Australia is a key priority. We have had a long and well-respected relationship with HCLTech. They have been integral in supporting our business and our digital transformation journey, so it was a straightforward decision to engage them for our next phase of digital transformation. We’re looking forward to continuing our work with HCLTech in Adelaide and creating a great experience for our employees and our clients,” Placentino said.
