Patni Computer Systems, a global IT services provider, announced on Tuesday the opening up of its new office in Amsterdam. This will be Patni's fifth office in Europe, after Germany (Stuttgart and Munich), Sweden and the UK.
Patni had previously identified the Benelux region as a key market in the EU. The
Amsterdam office will be primarily responsible for addressing this market by introducing
Patni's capabilities and service offerings to leading corporations in the region.
Commenting on this, Sukumar Namjoshi senior vice-president - Patni said, "Businesses globally are leveraging outsourcing which holds true for the Benelux region as well. Until now we have been addressing this market from the UK. This expansion is targeted at strengthening our pan European presence and providing our business with a wider footprint in the EU market."
He further added, "Outsourcing has been continuing to accelerate in Europe, with the level of deal activity rivaling that in the US. As part of our plans to expand operations in the EU, we are looking at a long-term investment in this region".
