Genpact Wins Five-Year Contract From AstraZeneca

Here's a brief article from the Wall Street Journal about another Genpact win.  Genpact will now handled the Finance and Accounting functions for AstraZeneca.

What I find particularly interesting is that this deal will deliver F&A services to over 50 countries in which AstraZeneca operates.  Another interesting fact is that Genpact's F&A practice is serving over 80 global companies.

NEW (Dow Jones)--Genpact Ltd. (G) has won a five-year contract to provide financial and accounting services for pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca PLC globally, the Indian company--listed in the U.S.--said Thursday.

Under the contract, Genpact aims to increase the effectiveness of AstraZeneca's finance and accounting processes, as part of the pharmaceutical company's initiative to reduce costs, Genpact said in a statement.

The multi-million dollar contract will deliver services to over 50 countries, it added.

The contract will further expand Genpact's client base and broaden its experience in the life sciences industry, the company said.

Genpact's finance and accounting practice currently supports more than 80 global enterprises--including five pharmaceutical and two life sciences companies.
