The iGate Corp. (IGTE) and Patni Computer Systems Ltd. (PTI) combine Tuesday said Mosaic Co. [MOS] has extended its multi-million dollar, multi-year contract for the software exporters to provide global service desk support in English, Latin American, and Asia-Pacific languages.

iGate-Patni will provide multi-lingual support in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Mandarin through its global delivery centers, the software company said. It will use its delivery center in Pensacola, Florida, to deliver English language support to Mosaic's worldwide users, it added.

iGate-Patni was formed by the merger of U.S.-listed iGate and India's Patni Computer. iGate took control of Patni in a joint deal with private equity firm Apax Partners LLP earlier this year.
