By: Sreekar Reddy B. Rama Raju, Satyam’s co-founder and managing director, officially opened the new facility at a ceremony attended by several senior Satyam clients, and officiated by Anita Nayar, India’s Consul General. “Satyam is already well established in Australia and today’s announcement reinforces our ongoing commitment to collaborating with customers—wherever they need us—to transform their organizations,” “Queensland has a vibrant ICT industry that attracts exceptional talent from across Australia and elsewhere in the region,” said Virender Aggarwal, Satyam’s director and senior vice president for APAC–MEIA. “This creative, energetic talent pool will bolster our capabilities to provide specialized ICT solutions locally and to global customers. With its pro-business initiatives, Queensland has earned its reputation for attracting international ICT organizations like Satyam to establish a presence here.” The Brisbane development center will serve local government, finance, and insurance clients, while addressing other sectors, including mining. In addition, a significant proportion of Satyam’s Australian development will also take place at the new facility, primarily the development of future enterprise applications for both Australian and multinational clients. The center currently employs 40 professionals and expects to employ another 50 professionals in the near future. Today, Satyam has a diverse workforce of over 1200 associates serving Australia out of which over 800 are based in Australia. Satyam has laid major emphasis on local employment generation and today over 42% of associates in Australia are local nationals. Apart from hiring experienced local professionals Satyam is working closely with Australian Computer Society (ACS) to foster interest back in IT amongst Australian youth. Towards this initiative Satyam has offered scholarships to about 100 associates; many of the university students are already enjoying the benefits of this scholarship and are currently getting trained in India to the same exact standards and training that our Indian engineers go through in Satyam’s campuses. These young graduates after their training will come and form part of Satyam’s Australia’s team. Some of these engineers who attended training in India last year are already working with our clients in Australia. # # # About Satyam Satyam , a leading global business and information technology services company, delivers consulting, systems integration, and outsourcing solutions to clients in 20 industries and 57 countries.
