Pegasys: Encompassing all business solutions in IT Date:   Wednesday , June 10, 2009 Pegasys Information technologies, a U.S. based company with an offshore development centre at Hyderabad, is making great waves in the field of SaaS. Very recently it has guided the team at the Wine society of India(WSI) to find a solution for its Sales force automation needs in order to soar up their marketing activities. Earlier, WSI has to maintain the database of all the interested people who visit their Web portal. To bring together and track the huge databases they needed the best Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution at an affordable cost without any delayed implementation process. The market was teeming with different solutions but they laid their hands on the best CRM product under the able guidance of Pegasys, which is premier partner of ZOHO CRM. Pegasys’ consultation helped the organization to automate their sales force requirements, with faster implementation compared to their peers. Pegasys studied the requirements of WSI and learnt that the WSI did not have much of IT implementations and wanted a cost effective solution. Based on the requirements, Pegasys suggested a web based CRM solution to the WSI. The implementation of the web based ZOHO CRM solution at the right time ensured there was no data loss. WSI now enjoys uninterrupted database compilation and it also flashes more than three thousand people in its members list. Two brothers, Ramesh Bhandari and Sreedhar Bhandari started the Hyderabad centre of Pegasys in July 2007. Ramesh, with a strong software-as-a-service (SaaS) background, observed the emerging opportunities in the small and medium business(SMB) segment in India. There was a lack of virtuoso players in the Indian SaaS market, so they expected to tap a significant share of the market, which is expected to grow to $260 million in revenues by 2011. Pegasys has partnered with various world class SaaS based application vendors like Zoho,BOX, Wolf Frameworks, and Pragmatech Software to enhance the value of its client offerings at an affordable cost. “Our IT solutions, which are based upon our wide spectrum of expertise, partners and services, are designed to add value to the customers growth. Whether it is CRM, E-Commerce, Customized applications, Offshore development, Engineering Services or Staffing, we can develop and implement the most flexible and versatile business solutions to achieve the best return on investment (ROI)” says Ramesh Bhandari, Founder and CEO of Pegasys. The entry into the challenging segment, where companies tend to be more demanding in terms of quality while their purse strings are tightly held, did not quaver their existence. The cost factor, which is the lowest compared to any other provider, ensured a smooth running of their business and the partnership programs. The 500-hour partnership programs which Pegasys offers allow the clients to use their services as per their convenience. The company creates an environment for corporate excellence through its software training, education, and IT Seminars for the professionals. The company expanded its focus to the e-commerce sphere, developing e-commerce portals for companies like IceMega, Hydroponics, and Mail my Gift. Pegasys maintains its own portal Fundoo Templates to deliver its services to any e-commerce and Internet marketing requirements. The firm considers its cost-effectiveness to be an edge to excel in the e-commerce arena where competitors are abound. The firm expects to unveil an online platform ‘SaaS Market Place’ by the end of the year, which would be a one-stop-shop for all SaaS based requirements. The aspiration to lead the SaaS market has already enabled Pegasys to expand from 2 to 81 people in 2009, and they plan to double the count in the next few months in India. Their employee database boasts of professionals specialized in many disciplines of IT including all levels of programming, like PHP, Java, J2EE, .Net, and Web services. This presence of talent from different domains ensures Pegasys the ability to tap more customers and be a frontrunner in the market.
