Asda has partnered with HCL Technologies for its latest IT transformation drive, including a new central data management platform.
The supermarket chain, which has over 600 stores in the UK, has taken up a three-year contract as part of its plans to adopt a more agile approach to application development and testing, as well as improve user experience.
HCL will lead the modernisation of Asda’s data platform and the adoption of a new DevOps operating model.
Phil Tenney, chief digital and technology officer at Asda, said the two companies had found a strong cultural fit between the teams leading the delivery model.
“We’re looking forward to working with HCL on our application services, through its focus on continuous improvement and unique expertise that will help our teams keep up with the latest industry trends, technologies and tools.”
Ashish Gupta, corporate vice president at HCL Technologies, said: “Today’s grocery retail market is highly-competitive and the increasing trend towards online shopping and in-store digitalisation puts more pressure than ever on IT to accelerate innovation.”
