Zensar opens outsouring centre in Poland

Zensar Technologies, a leading global IT and business process outsourcing services provider, announced the opening of its Polish operations, based in the city of Gdan'sk - the first of its kind centre in Poland to be opened by an Indian outsourcing company.

The centre will create over 350 new jobs for the community in its first 30 months of its operations, and will be the latest addition to Zensar's network of consulting and software development centres in USA, UK, Singapore, Tokyo, China, India and South Africa.

The company will offer the entire range of Zensar solutions in Eastern Europe.

Ganesh Natarajan, Deputy Chairman and Managing Director, Zensar Technologies said, "We are viewing Poland as a major investment centre for research, education and development, and we are planning to invest over $2 million in developing global delivery capabilities in this country. We are confident that Poland will be a significant hub in our Europe strategy in the coming years."

Recruitment is well underway at the centre with a team of 23 Polish engineers sent to Zensar's headquarters in Pune, for a three-month in-depth training and understanding of the company's product suite so that they can immediately lead the operations back in Poland.

The engineers will not only be developing their programming skills further but also learn more complex IT infrastructure design and architecture.

Zensar, whose European headquarters is in Slough, UK, now employs over 3,700 people across 24 sites globally with nearly 200 people based in the UK and Europe. The company recently declared its results for fiscal year-ended March 2007 with a 41 per cent growth in revenues and 67 per cent growth in profits.
