We plan to be a one-stop shop for offerings in the supply chain management (SCM), ERP and Business Intelligence segments.” The company would launch its operations in the next four months.

The Dubai operation would be handled by 10 people onsite and Rapidigm was looking at the development of the market through partners, own business and direct clients.

Talghatti noted that the company's core expertise was in the implementation of enterprise applications such as PeopleSoft, Oracle, e-business and managed services.

The company plans to increase its headcount by 600 employees within the next eight to 12 months. At present it has three development centers in India, Pune, Noida and Hyderabad and a marketing office in Bangalore.
