BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Bloomington-based State Farm insurance is essentially laying off workers as it switches to an outside entity that will manage its Information Technology infrastructure.
India-based HCLTech says it’s been selected by State Farm to “reimagine” its IT service desk and modernize IT services and infrastructure.
The company says some State Farm employees will be transferred to HCLTech to work on the project.
“HCLTech was selected because of its reputation in supporting Fortune 500 companies,” said Ashley Pettit, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for State Farm, in a news release. “Working successfully with them relies, in part, on the skills and knowledge of talented employees currently doing this work at State Farm.”
No word on specifically how many jobs will be lost at State Farm, nor how many are being transferred.
