PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) -- Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Mexican unit said Monday that it signed a $100 million technology outsourcing services contract with Coca-Cola FEMSA, the Coke bottler in Mexico.

The five-year agreement will support Coca-Cola FEMSA's Latin American business. Hewlett-Packard Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. will handle the consolidation of 348 locations to a single data center in Mexico as well as migrate some applications and server monitoring and management to locations in Brazil and Argentina.

Hewlett-Packard will continue to provide data center services and storage services to manage and support Coca-Cola FEMSA's data center environment.

Last week, Hewlett-Packard, the world's biggest technology company by revenue, received investor approval for the 13 directors it put up for election. The company is trying to move past the scandal over the ouster of CEO Mark Hurd in August.
