Global IT Service Provider Expands Global Capabilities with Opening
of Queretaro, Mexico, Facility
Patni
Computer Systems (BSE: PATNI COMPUT, NSE: PATNI, NYSE: PTI), a
leading global IT and BPO services provider, today announced the opening
of a new delivery center in Queretaro, to augment its global delivery
capabilities and serve the North American and Latin American markets.
The Center will offer Patni’s full range of services and solutions
covering IT consulting, software development outsourcing, contact center
operations and business process outsourcing. These offerings will be
provided to customers in the financial services, manufacturing, life
sciences, communications, and media & entertainment sectors.
The location offers Patni preferential access to customers in North and
South America and within Mexico, the world’s 13th largest
economy with a local IT market of $5 billion. Customers will be able to
leverage a ‘near shore’ engagement model and global delivery system
simultaneously, allowing for seamless interaction on IT development
projects, easier management of customer relationships and greater
oversight on project tracking. This will reduce engagement costs while
accelerating time-to-market.
“This is part of our expansion strategy – to roll out a follow-the-sun
model that serves regional markets and gives us more flexibility in
utilizing global talent,” said Jeya Kumar, Chief Executive Officer
of Patni Computer Systems. “We are seeing increased demand from our
client base for near-shore resources. Our investment in Mexico allows us
to deliver on these demands, and it will generate jobs and economic
momentum for a growing region.”
Patni chose Mexico as its latest expansion site to take advantage of the
country’s low costs, improved economic prospects, language skills and
other business benefits. Queretaro was selected for a variety of
reasons, including its burgeoning talent pool from 37 area universities,
its proximity to Mexico City, quality of life and low cost of living. It
is also considered one of the safest cities in the country.
Patni is opening the delivery center in a temporary facility in
Tecnologico de Monterrey’s Queretaro campus with an initial seating
capacity of about 100 full-time workers. The center will move to a
permanent location at Technology Park of Tech De Monterrey in October
this year.
