New Delhi, June 11: Patni Computer Systems Ltd today said it has formed a strategic partnership in the UK with Clear Technology Ltd, a provider of software solutions for the Insurance and Financial Services Industries.

Under the agreement, Patni Computer will provide process consulting and system integration services to Clear. This will support Clear in its efforts to fully capitalise on growing demand for its Insurance and Financial Services solutions.

For Patni Computer, the alliance will open the door to a host of new commercial opportunities to grow its presence within Clear's portfolio of blue-chip Insurance sector clients and the UK Financial Services industry.

''The UK's Insurance and Financial Services market is perhaps the most competitive in the world. This translates into a huge commercial opportunity for software companies that deliver immediate bottom-line improvements, which Patni has been able to do for many of the top global and local insurers in the UK over the last eight years,'' Patni Computer Systems European Vice President Brian Stones said.

The combination of Clear's software platform and methodology, and Patni's integration expertise will help customers transform their business operations by lowering their operational costs while accelerating time to market, he added.
