Satyam launches offshore development centre for Sony Europe

Mumbai: Satyam Computer Services Ltd has launched a 40-seat dedicated offshore development centre (ODC) for Sony Europe, at its Bangalore campus. The center will provide shared assessment process (SAP) application development and support, enterprise application integration (EAI) and testing services to Sony Europe across its entire business - sales and distribution, warehouse management, finance, and business intelligence system.

The ODC will enhance Sony Europe's IT development and support capacity and enable the Sony infrastructure services team to focus on core activities, such as platform enhancement, optimisation, and innovation.

In addition, the company will enable Sony Europe to integrate key business processes, increase operational efficiency, improve information flow and access, and enable interoperability among heterogeneous applications.
