HYDERABAD: A United Nations spokesperson on Monday said none of the UN bodies globally will outsource any information technology work to India���s Satyam Computer Services.
���All throughout the UN system we���d taken the decision not to have further dealings with Satyam. So the current deals that had been previously made are all being wrapped up,��� Farhan Haq, associate spokesperson for the secretary general���s office said during a press briefing on Monday.
Experts tracking the outsourcing market told ET that UN contracts were not really big in terms of revenues, and were less than $10 million in value.
A transcript of the briefing has been made available at the UN���s website.
���The details of that may need some fine-tuning; it may need to be worked out in the coming months. But, certainly, all the contracts are being wrapped to whatever extent that things that are already in the pipeline need to be completed, some will be completed, but it will all be shut down,��� Mr Haq added.
