Satyam Provides IT Consulting and Data Management Solution to Project Hope in China

July 04, 2006

Program Will Turn 11 Years' Worth of Data into Useful, Strategic Information

    SHANGHAI, July 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Satyam Computer
Services Ltd. (NYSE: SAY), a leading global consulting and
information technology services company, is providing a
free data management solution, as well as IT services, to
National Office of Project Hope Teacher Training Center
sponsored by China Youth Development Foundation . Project
Hope Teacher Training program is one of the important
initiatives to implement Project Hope, liaison with the
government and support underprivileged children with
primary education. 

    Established 11 years ago, National Office of Project
Hope Teacher Training Center has amassed more than 31,000
teacher and volunteer records, a voluminous amount that
makes effective and intelligent use of the database very
difficult. The key concern, therefore, is to find out ways
and means of extracting useful information and resources
from the database that would drive the objective of Project
Hope Teacher Center. Satyam's data management solution will
address that concern by enabling enhanced visibility into
Project Hope's systems. As a result, the public will be
able to access information about trainees, schools,
courses, and lecturers very quickly. Additionally, donors
will be able to review the information and expenses
involved in every Project Hope activity. Moreover, the
solution will generate statistical reports automatically,
instead of manually, a benefit that will allow Project Hope
instructors to focus on mapping out plans and implementing
training programs.

    "As a responsible corporate citizen, Satyam is
committed to reaching out to people in China, through
volunteerism, with our pool of IT talent," said
Raghavendra Tripathi, regional manager and head of Satyam
China. "By helping Project Hope streamline its
operations and focus on quality training, we invest in a
better future for China."

    The pro bono effort reflects Satyam's commitment to the
communities in which it does business. For Project Hope,
Satyam volunteers take time during weekends to teach
schoolteachers and headmasters from western China basic IT
skills, such as email and Web surfing.

    "We are very grateful to Satyam for its
professional expertise and support," National Office
of Project Hope Teacher Training wrote the appreciation
letter to Satyam. "We have already gone through 85
training cycles, and reached out to more than 31,000
headmasters and teachers from 4,200 Project Hope primary
schools in 31 provinces, benefiting more than 100,000
children.  We strongly believe that with Satyam's continued
support, our office's capabilities will be enhanced
dramatically. As a result, we will give a far greater
number of Chinese children a chance at higher
education."
