IBM launches delivery centre in Noida

IBM India today expanded its operations in Uttar Pradesh with the inauguration of a new Global Delivery Centre in Noida. This is IBM Global Business Services' first such centre in Noida.

In phase two of the expansion, IBM will open another centre in the vicinity, which is expected to be fully operational by mid-2008. Both the centres will house close to 3,000 employees once fully staffed, the company said in a release.

These centres will enable IBM to increase its existing application services portfolio to support a growing global client base. With the addition of these centres, IBM’s Global Delivery operations are provided from six locations (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Gurgaon/Noida) in India and the new centres will increase the company’s presence in Northern India.

The centres will be an integral part of IBM's global delivery network, spread across three dozen countries around the world. "IBM will increase its operations in Noida by hiring technology graduates and IT professionals with skills in IT strategy and architecture, business consulting, enterprise solutions (SAP, Siebel, and Oracle), testing, and business intelligence," said Rajesh Nambiar, General Manager and Vice President, Global Delivery, IBM India.

IBM started its National Capital Region (NCR) operations in 1992, and has a global delivery and domestic business in the region. In 2007, IBM announced its focus on the SMB market in Uttar Pradesh.

The company already has a presence in Lucknow and is working with various clients, including Department of Revenue, UP Electronics Corporation Ltd, Hindustan aeronautics Ltd, UP Mandi Parishad, Irrigation Department, Sahara India, and Hindalco Industries.
