Thunderhead, HCL form global partnership

Customers of Thunderhead, the enterprise communications company, and HCL can
now benefit from a complete end-to-end integration and implementation package
for the Thunderhead NOW platform.

The cornerstone of the new partnership will be a Thunderhead center of
excellence (CoE), with HCL providing a dedicated team of 50 fully-trained staff.
The center will have a global remit, but will also help Thunderhead extend its
penetration into Asian and the Middle East markets.

The partnership meets an increasing global demand for enterprise solutions
for personalized multi-channel communications, and will add value to HCL
customers and other large organizations seeking to improve their competitive
positioning through superior customer engagement. The CoE will provide the
capacity for very large scale or turn-key Thunderhead deployments, enabling
organizations to quickly and easily migrate from existing legacy document
generation and composition systems to Thunderhead's NOW platform, and achieve a
rapid ROI.

HCL has significant experience in working with Thunderhead, having already
completed a number of projects with the Thunderhead NOW platform. With the
establishment of the Thunderhead CoE, HCL will consolidate that accumulated
experience into a focused service offering, aligned with HCL's expertise
covering a broad range of enterprise applications and systems infrastructure.
