Satyam, Fujitsu in IT services deal for Reuters

Satyam has been providing services to Reuters for over six years. Under the new contract it will provide some of its services to Reuters via Fujitsu, rather than directly.

These services will be delivered from its current Reuters Offshore Delivery Centre in Hyderabad as well as from a new centre in Chennai. At 11:18 pm, Satyam shares were up 2.82 per cent at Rs 461 on BSE.
