IBM wins order from Vodafone's India arm

Vodafone's Indian joint venture is transferring all of its information technology-related work to IBM Corp. under a 5-year contract that will reduce costs and improve services, the company said Monday.

The company did not disclose the deal's value, but IBM said a similar contract earlier this year from Idea Cellular, whose network and subscriber base is half that of Vodafone Essar Ltd., is expected to be worth between $600 million and $800 million over 10 years.

Vodafone Essar is India's fourth-largest cellular phone company, in which the British company acquired a controlling stake for $10.9 billion in May.
