DALLAS, Nov 30, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hitachi Consulting, a leading provider of management and IT consulting services and solutions for both government and business, announced today that it has been awarded a $3.8 million, multi-year contract with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to develop and implement a financial assistance and social services case management system.

The program consists of direct funding and activities related to social services, welfare assistance, Indian child welfare, and program oversight. To administer and improve the overall effectiveness of the program, BIA has selected a Microsoft Dynamics CRM and SharePoint solution to replace an obsolete mainframe application and transition to a fully modernized case management environment.

"We are pleased that our extensive experience in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 combined with our business process knowledge matched BIA's specific requirements. We look forward to leveraging these differentiators to help BIA strengthen its social services program and achieve new operating efficiencies."
"By using Dynamics CRM as a line of business application, public sector leaders and elected officials now have the ability to execute on their agency's mission effectively, while demonstrating immediate success and return on investment. We are pleased that the BIA will be working closely with Hitachi Consulting to deliver such an important mission critical application on the Dynamics CRM application,"* said Radu Burducea, Director of Dynamics CRM, Microsoft US Federal.

Hitachi, Ltd., , headquartered in Tokyo, Japan is not even a US company. So the Japanese are going to manage American Indian social services. Great! All this taxpayer money being wasted and going to a foreign company. I thought the US still had software companies. Oh, well the Chinese have all the industry and they laugh in our face on our copyrights. Intellectual property is copied freely internationally.
