MUMBAI: Patni Computer Systems Ltd is to invest $6 million in providing enhanced Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) from its facilities in US and India, even as it signed an Original Equipment Manufacturer deal with US-based InteQ.
"The investment is to enhance our IMS technology and infrastructure, which would help in improving services and expanding our reach into US and European countries," Patni senior vice-president Satish Joshi told reporters on Thursday.
A majority of the investment would be used to set up two IMS command centres, one each in Mumbai and US, he said, adding Mumbai centre would be located at its existing facility in SEEPZ, Andheri, while the US one is slated to be in Massachusetts.
With this, Patni would become one of the few Indian IT services companies to deliver IMS with both onshore and offshore functionality and resources, he added.
Meanwhile, the software major also signed an OEM deal with InteQ, a remote network management service software provider.
The alliance would enable Patni to offer a complete suite of service offerings comprising Remote Monitoring, Web-enabled Service Desk, Performance Reporting and Problem Resolution, apart from strengthening its position in the global IMS market.
