Bangalore: Microsoft announced the expansion of its global consulting and enterprise services operations out of India: a new state-of-the-art Global Delivery centre, situated in the heart of Bangalore's business district. The Bangalore team will, in addition to the team in Hyderabad, support Microsoft Services in powering business-critical and mission-critical applications for some of the world's largest corporations in over 65 countries. Microsoft's Global Delivery has had a presence in India since 2005, when the first team began its operations in Hyderabad. Kristin Johnsen, General Manager, Microsoft Consulting Services Business and Amit Sircar, General Manager, Microsoft Services Global Delivery, were present for the inauguration of the new centre. Kristin, commenting on the expansion of Microsoft's presence in India, said, "Microsoft Services brings the deepest expertise on Microsoft technologies to help customers plan, deploy and run their IT landscapes. It was with this in mind that Microsoft invested in the centre at Hyderabad six years ago, and today, with a clear idea of growing our presence in India, we are happy to be in Bangalore." Amit Sircar added, "Very simply, we deploy future-ready Microsoft solutions and help businesses realize their full potential through the productive use of Microsoft software and services. In six short years, Global Delivery (Hyderabad) has been assessed at SEI CMMI Level 5, and we hope to maintain and improve this reputation for excellence with a group of highly motivated people in Bangalore." Microsoft Services Global Delivery has a highly mature delivery process for global deployments.Teams here work on leading edge Microsoft products and technologies including Office 365, Windows 7 deployment, Azure and Data Center Services (DCS), among others.
