Tata Communications and HyperOffice entered into a strategic tie-up to offer HyperOffice’s online collaboration suite to the enterprise segment in India as well as the world.

"We are pleased to announce this association with HyperOffice. This collaboration suite will not just help our subscribers enhance their productivity but will also help them control IT costs. We look forward to promoting this suite with our high-speed Internet voice and data tools and giving our subscribers a rich experience," said Mukul Sood, vice president at Tata Communications.

"This agreement enables customers, suppliers, remote workers and business partners using Tata Communications service to collaborate and compete around the world," said Farzin Arsanjani, president of HyperOffice. "And Tata Communications is the ideal partner to put cloud-computing tools into the hands of business users in dynamic, fast-growing, emerging markets around the globe. We also believe this is a significant step forward in the expansion of the international footprint of HyperOffice, an expansion that began last year with delivery of the Spanish edition of HyperOffice, smartphone and iPhone support, and new marketing channels."

Tata Communications plans to deploy a private-labeled version of HyperOffice to its subscribers in the third quarter of 2009.
