Foray Into Brasil Bolsters Global Delivery Model 4,500-Square-Foot Facility Will Focus on South American and Global Customers
HYDERABAD, India, April 4 -- Satyam Computer Services, Ltd. (NYSE:SAY), the leading global and information technology services company, announced today that it has launched a 4,500-square-foot development center here, its largest facility in South America. The Satyam Latam Center is already providing services for several Brasilian, other South American, and global customers. Professionals at the center provide application outsourcing and development, enterprise resource planning software implementation and outsourcing, and infrastructure management services and consulting.
"Establishing a strategic facility in South America complements numerous other Satyam development centers in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and North America," said Ram Mynampati, president of Satyam's commercial and healthcare businesses. "It also demonstrates Satyam's commitment to providing exceptional client service via a global delivery model, and reinforces our dedication to the local market."
Cleiton Amaral Dias, the chief information officer at Invista, inaugurated the facility today. Three other local business leaders, Jane Ricci, an IT manager at Camargo Correa; Mario Marandino, an IT manager at Nestle; and Flavio Reis, the CIO of Caterpillar, served as lamplighters. The lighting of a lamp at a kickoff ceremony is an ancient Indian tradition that symbolizes the removal of ignorance and darkness.
The center's inauguration coincided with Satyam's hosting of the First Latin American Geosourcing Forum at the Blue Tree Hotel, an event attended by more than 40 CXOs and key decision makers.
"The opening of the Satyam Latam Development Center and our participation in the Geosourcing Forum are strong indications of Satyam's dedication to clients all over the world, and to Latin America in particular," Mynampati said. "We are always on the lookout for places where exceptional people wish to excel, and South America fits that bill very nicely. Sao Paulo has several excellent universities. As a result, it also features a great number of skilled and highly capable information technology and business professionals who would benefit Satyam and our clients tremendously."
"In addition to enabling Satyam to respond to our clients' needs with more agility, the new center will serve as the organization's South American headquarters," said Gary Teelucksingh, leader of the company's initiatives in the Americas. "Moreover, it marks the first of several key investments Satyam is making on this continent. In fact, plans for another substantial center in Brasil are already under way."
Sao Paulo Governor Jose Serra is also pleased with Satyam's decision to increase its footprint here. "This thriving, growing city is Brasil's industrial and financial center, and features numerous high-profile organizations that are already Satyam clients. We look forward to leveraging our skills in Sao Paulo and throughout the world to deliver superior business solutions for the outstanding companies here."
