(InfoWorld) - Indian outsourcer Wipro has opened a software development facility in Monterrey, Mexico, to offer services to clients in North America and Latin America in the same time zone and geographical proximity. Wipro made the announcement Tuesday when Mexico's President Felipe CalderÃ³n Hinojosa visited its Bangalore campus. He is in India to promote business collaboration, particularly in IT, between the two countries. Mexico's broad language skills and proximity to Canada and the U.S. helped Wipro decide to establish a presence there. Latin America is also a strong emerging market where many of Wipro's clients operate. Wipro's Monterrey facility will employ 100 people. Some of the center's Mexican staff are already training in Bangalore. Infosys Technologies, another Indian outsourcer, announced last month that it isÂ setting up an IT services and BPO (business process outsourcing) facilityÂ in Monterrey. Indian outsourcers like Tata Consultancy Services, of Mumbai, have also invested in services delivery centers in Latin America with an eye to offering near-shore services to clients in North America and to service the Latin American market. Wipro announced last month that it is setting up a software development center in Atlanta and plans to hire staff for the center from local universities. The center, which will have 500 employees by the third year of operation, will help Wipro in hiring highly skilled workers and domain experts who will be critical to Wipro's business growth plans in the U.S., the company said.

(InfoWorld) - EMC Corp. will train more than 1,000 Wipro Ltd. staff in the use of its storage technologies as part of an alliance announced by the companies on Wednesday. EMC becomes the latest of several big technology vendors to partner with an Indian outsourcer to deliver services to customers worldwide. The partnerships take advantage of the low cost of providing services from India, as well as the considerable client base of Indian outsourcers. The partnership with Wipro, of Bangalore, is the first by EMC with an Indian outsourcing company. As part of the deal, the companies will also jointly market their products, with Wipro offering pre-sales, delivery and development services to customers. "Ours is a technology play, while Wipro's is a services play in this partnership," said Sanjay Mirchandani, EMC's senior vice president of emerging markets and international development. Besides the U.S. and Europe, the companies will target the growing Indian and Middle Eastern markets, where EMC sees a big opportunity for its products, and where both companies are already making significant investments, Mirchandani said. In March, EMC partnered with the Indian training company NIIT Ltd. to train storage professionals in 32 countries, including India. EMC has its own services organization, and Wipro and EMC are working out the details to avoid competition between their respective services divisions, Mirchandani said.
