HCL announces partnership with Mark Logic

HCL Technologies Ltd on January 24, 2008 has announced a new partnership with Mark Logic® Corporation, provider of the industry’s leading XML content servers. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will serve as one of Mark Logic’s select services partners providing System Integration and Implementation services for MarkLogic Server.

As they deploy their new XML-based applications, customers now have streamlined access to a single source for complete XML solutions through HCL expertise.

MarkLogic Server was created to help customers effectively handle large volumes of XML content, and unlocks the value of XML content by allowing users to load, query, manipulate and render content with the most powerful XQuery Interface available.

Working for the last 10 years with the ‘who’s who’ in the Media & Entertainment industry, the Company have seen continuous transformation as their clients align themselves for the New Age Users. All such initiatives have content at the core and the Company believe this partnership will multiply the value that the Company can deliver to its clients,” stated Karan Purl, Senior Vice President, HCL Technologies. “XML content is the norm today, which is why it comes as no surprise that Mark Logic’s open architecture development platform is the leading product on the market. Through this partnership, both HCL and Mark Logic will benefit from reaching new customers in the media and entertainment space, and particularly in publishing.
