New Delhi: To ensure a boost to its competitive level throughout Asia-Pacific, Satyam Computer Services has absorbed 128 employees of Motorola. "This strategic acquisition will integrate and strengthen Satyam's product engineering services to network equipment providers and operators in the areas of element management, mobile solutions and access networks," said Nishith Mathur, Head of Satyam's Technology Infrastructure business unit.
After the completion of the deal by 31st December, 2008, Motorola will directly contract with Satyam for development services of its market-leading network management software. Moreover, by shifting the employees to Satyam from its software development center (SDC) in the Malaysian township Cyberjaya, Motorola will bullish its strategic position in Malaysia, wherein it has invested over RM3.5 billion. It will also improve the company�s cost structure and operational efficiencies.
All the 128 employees, once being posted to Satyam, will have an access to all the training programs of the software firm. "These Motorola professionals are steeped in capabilities that are in high-demand all over the globe. As such, they represent a very valuable group for our organization. We are always trying to increase our skills in strategic areas, and this agreement helps us in that regard significantly. In fact, Satyam is developing a 15-acre campus in the Super Corridor, which will create career opportunities for our new employees and many other people in area," says Virender Aggarwal, Head of Satyam's rest of the world region.
