Telelogic looking at India for outsourcing SW toolsFakir Chand in Bangalore Telelogic AB, the Swedish global supplier of solutions for advanced software development, is exploring the Indian software talent for outsourcing software tools that go into developing new products in the domain of telecommunications, automotive, and military and aerospace. The $95-million Stockholm listed company is assessing the strengths of low-cost but high quality software professionals who will be able to not only develop enhanced solutions of its existing product range, but also offer consulting and service support to its global customers from India. Telelogic's India operations managing director Johan Wilson told rediff.com on Wednesday that the parent company was looking at the possibility of leveraging the Indian software expertise in the emerging areas of 3G, Bluetooth, and wireless systems to develop embedded future communication technologies and visual software development languages. "As in the case of many global IT companies, especially from the US and Europe, Telelogic recognises the ability of Indian techies to contribute their mite in the design and development of high-end software tools required by industries of the old economy as well as the new economy," Wilson stated. Wilson, however, declined to commit a timeframe or the investments likely to go into the setting up of a development center in India, preferably at Bangalore. "It is too early to talk on specifics. The Stockholm office is currently studying the pros and cons of such a move," he added. In the run-up to delegating a major role for its Indian operations, Telelogic has taken up to promoting and marketing its suite of products to leading Indian IT companies, including Motorola, Lucent, GE, Samsung, Wipro, TCS, and Satyam, to name a few. The licensing of its three main products, viz., Telelogic DOORS/ERS, an enterprise-wide management system; Telelogic Tau, an industry-proven, visual software engineering solution for real-time and advanced software development, and Telelogic CM Synergy, a high-end task based solution for change and configuration, to its customers envisages consulting, maintenance, training, and service support. "A major part of Telelogic's strategy is the support of international standards. A number of its products are built on standardized languages and notations. We are also participating in the global partnership programming for developing of new wireless applications such as 3G, besides Bluetooth Special Interest Group, and the Object Management Group to help create emerging technologies," Wilson affirmed. By providing integrated best-of-the-breed products and professional services for the end-to-end software development lifecycle, Telelogic enables organisations to improve quality and predictability, while reducing time-to-market and overall costs. "All our products are built on an open architecture that ensures inter-operability with many top tier technology solutions. Our tools posses proven capabilities in improving productivity and team communication, which have become critical factors in the competitive software development world." Named by Forbes as one of the 300 best small companies, Telelogic has also emerged as a leading supplier of tools in the embedded market, thanks to its recent flurry of strategic acquisitions in the US and Europe, leading a quantum jump in the number of employees and revenues last calendar year. |
