The Hindu Business Line : Kanbay to invest $50 m more in India operations

The money would be used to set up a campus at Hyderabad with seating for 3,500 techies, a training centre in Pune and an ERP (enterprise resource planning) centre of excellence (CoE) also in Hyderabad.

Addressing a press conference here today, Mr Kenneth M. Coppins, Executive Vice-President, Global Client Services, Kanbay said the decision to establish a separate centre for ERP services followed the company's recent acquisition of Adjoined Consulting Inc for $165 million.

Adjoined is mainly involved with implementation, hosting and support services of major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft and Siebel. The ERP CoE will focus on application development and customisation, software upgrades, configuration, legacy migration, and maintenance and support services for all major ERP systems. While a significant part of this work is currently handled onsite, the company expects to move a major share of the work to the centre. It expects to add about 200 people initially to support operations.

The Vice President and head of Kanbay's Hyderabad centre, Mr B. Dayakar Reddy said the company planned to commission its campus in April 2006.
