Satyam to keep investing in Malaysia

Satyam Services, a leading global consulting and information technology (IT) services provider, intends to continue investing in Malaysia amid changes in the political environment.

Its director and senior vice president for Asia Pacific, West Asia, India and Africa, Virender Aggarwal, said the company remained confident of the Malaysian economy going forward.

"We are committed to growing our presence in Malaysia by embarking on an aggressive expansion initiative," he told Bernama here.

He said with the friendly business environment and attractive incentives, the company planned to make Malaysia as its largest software development hub outside India.

Satyam yesterday announced establishment of the Pega Business Process Management Centre of Excellence (CoE) at its 2,000-seat Global Solutions Centre (GSC) at Cyberjaya.

The company has teamed up with US-based business software maker Pegasystems Inc to create the facility.

Satyam said it will leverage the capabilities of Pegasystems SmartBPM Suite to drive business agility, grow revenue and improve productivity for its global customers.

It added that establishment of the CoE showed the company's commitment in making Malaysia a software development hub.
