Development group Mott MacDonald has awarded a five year global communications deal to Tata Communications, in a deal which is valued at around £13 million.

Tata Communications will deliver telecommunication services to the development group as part of the contract, as part of a communications consolidation strategy being enacted by Mott MacDonald. The delivery of new communications services comes as multiple systems used by thousands of Mott MacDonald employees throughout the globe are brought together under one system.

The consolidation process will allow services to be migrated to ac loud based infrastructure in order to facilitate collaboration, even between groups that are separated internationally.

“With over 168 offices around the world and projects in 140 countries this contract will provide us with the ease of access needed to keep us at the top of our industry", said Darren Russell, Mott MacDonald’s global IT director.
