(InfoWorld) - Indian outsourcer Satyam Computer Services is setting up a 2,000-seat software development facility in Malaysia that will service its customers worldwide. The move is in line with the company's strategy to have services centers in multiple countries, both to address regional markets and to draw on local talent. Although staff costs in Malaysia are higher than in India, capital costs are far lower because of the country's better infrastructure, Virender Aggarwal, director and senior vice president of Satyamâs operations in the Asia Pacific and Middle East, said on Thursday. âWe donât have to invest in captive power generation for exampleâ, he said, referring to Indiaâs chronic power problems. The center is in Cyberjaya, about 50 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur, and will have 2,000 staff over the next four years, Satyam said. The company already has a delivery center in Kuala Lumpur with 150 staff. âWe have done large-scale hiring here, and we found the quality of staff to be very good,â Aggarwal said. As the cost of engineers and staff attrition rates in India go up, Satyamâs customers are keen on the company setting up operations in new locations, according to Aggarwal. Satyam can pick the best staff in Malaysia because few other companies have services operations there, he said. The company has enough of land in Cyberjaya to expand to a 5,000 seat facility, he added. Satyam, of Hyderabad, announced last month that it isÂ expanding its services operations in ChinaÂ to about 3,000 staff by 2008, from about 400 staff today. Besides addressing local and neighborhood markets like Japan and Hong Kong, the centers in China will service clients in North America. Other Indian outsourcing companies, like Infosys Technologies and Wipro, are alsoÂ setting up operations in other countries, particularly China and Eastern Europe, with an eye to the local and neighboring markets. Satyam is positioning China as an alternative offshore location to India, as its staff requirements go up, Raghavendra Tripathi, Satyamâs country head for China, said last month. Satyam had about 35,000 staff at the end of September, and most of these are based in India.ADVERTISEMENTNEW IT SERVICES FROM IBM: EASIER TO BUY AND IMPLEMENTDiscover a simpler, more cost-effective way to get the solutions your company needs to grow more flexible and efficient.

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft and Satyam Computer Services opened two business intelligence software testing and development centers in Asia on Tuesday, hoping to usher in a new era for Chinese financial applications. The centers, one in Shanghai and the other in Singapore, are taking direct aim at banks and other financial services business with growing customer demand for multiple services. Researchers from Satyam will use real-life scenarios and data to test and localize financial software that's already available on global markets, as well as develop new applications specifically for the Chinese market. "The opportunity [in China] is staggering. The demand for more sophisticated financial products is expanding," said Ken Wye Saw, vice president of sales and marketing for Microsoft in the Asia Pacific region, in a telephone interview. The companies plan to use iDecisions business intelligence software from Satyam, of Hyderabad, India, to build the market for Chinese financial services applications. The software is designed to sift through an organizationâs information and transform data into useful information, tools and ideas for better services. For example, a bank could use iDecisions in its existing database to sift through a customer's past credit history, job information, choices on banking and stock picks, and more, to understand their appetite for risk and more intuitively design a personalized long-term investment plan. The deal between Microsoft and Satyam also highlights their growing collaboration on China. Last year, the two companiesÂ agreed to work togetherÂ in the enterprise solutions market in the Greater China region, which includes China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as loosely associating Singapore. The iDecisions software at the heart of the current Microsoft and Satyam partnership runs on Microsoft server software, including Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Satyam gained iDecisions through its purchase of Singaporean software maker Knowledge DynamicsÂ last year. Satyam is one of India'sÂ biggest software developers. The company will take charge of day-to-day operations at the centers, while Microsoft will make available its engineers when necessary, Saw said. The companies would not disclose the amount of their investment.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.
