BT Global Services has won a $220m outsourcing deal with mining giant Anglo American.

The IT services contract covers all of the company's networking requirements in numerous locations 9many of them remote), across 15 countries, for the next five years.

The entirety of Anglo American's voice services will be moved to BT's One Voice converged communications platform, which will enable collaborative services such as IP telephony and videoconferencing to be deployed. BT will also become Anglo American's "global supplier of choice" for networking hardware equipment.

The deal follows on from a 2007 outsourcing contract with BT in alliance with HP, which also covered IT hardware supplied by HP.
