SetUp of IT center in Silicon Valley of India a success: Report on Online magazine IndienHeute

BAD BRÜCKENAU, Germany - April 18, 2014 - PRLog -- The software house Categis GmbH, headquartered in Frankfurt / Germany, had given the go-ahead for the set-up of an IT development center in India in 2011. The company develops applications in business intelligence for the mid-cap market, with a specialization in management information systems. The software company also develops custom-tailored software based on Microsoft technology ( . NET Framework), for purposes such as Controlling, Sales, CRM and Production Management.

Managing Director Sebastian Zang draws a positive balance on the investment in India: "We have identified a highly experienced local manager for the technology department very early in this undertaking. The expertise of that manager was particularly helpful in the selection of good and loyal employees, today we employ a team of 15 developers and test engineers. Obviously, we had to overcome some challenges typical of India, but overall I think the IT industry in India is very mature industry that has adopted Western standards".

As a key success criteria managing director Zang consists of establishing a networks of local suppliers, which requires development of personal relationships. "Since the relationship building takes time”, says Zang, “newcomers like us can benefit from what I call derived relationships. Another German company would recommend their tried and tested suppliers to us, which would give us an excellent head start in building relationships with that supplier. Commitment to quality and timeliness is far better than if there wasn’t any recommendation. This will be of much help in any country, in India it is a MUST.”
