Hyderabad: India will become one of the strategic centres for the US-based $15 billion Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) with Indian development centres (DCs) playing a major role in CSC’s worldwide operations as far as infrastructure management services and solutions are concerned.

Speaking to eFE here on Wednesday, CSC Global Infrastructure Services (GIS) global services director, Brian J Manning said Indian centres can now directly interact or take up projects of CSC’s worldwide clients. In addition, the Indian DCs will be entrusted with entire development, maintenance and implementation apart from support services and infrastructure management services, he added.

“India will be a major sourcing hub for CSC and has been placed as one of the strategic centres for its worldwide growth in future,” Mr Manning said, adding that India not only is economically viable but has enough skill-sets to meet customers’ demands across the globe.

Mr Manning was in Hyderabad to review DCs in India.

“On infrastructure service, CSC plans to move some of other regions’ major job works to India and also enable Indian centres to directly deal with customers across the globe for all services,” he said.

In view of the 9/11 incident, security aspects and complicated enterprise solutions, infrastructure management services is one of the major focus areas among big companies in the world.

“With a multi-billion potential, this market segment is growing at 20 per cent annually,” Mr Manning pointed out.

In fact, India is the largest growth area of CSC’s operations.

All of CSC’s technologies and services in the GIS side like desk top, mainframe services, Linux, Unix and Windows-based server jobs will be developed in Indian centres.

“We plan to add 500 people in the GIS side in India to take it to a total of 1,000 people in the shortest possible time,” Mr Manning said.

Earlier, addressing the press conference, he said the company’s resources in India will partner with global CSC resources to deliver seamless and integrated global infrastructure solutions to clients. As an early participant and worldwide leader in remote infrastructure management services, the CSC team in India continues to grow and develop integration and architecture capabilities. “Our Indian employees will participate with the global team in three dozen countries,” he added.
