BANGALORE, INDIA: Satyam Computer Services Ltd, a global consulting and information services provider, announced today that it has launched SatyamStarPower.com, a web portal designed to showcase the creative talents of its employees worldwide.

This first-of-its-kind capability adds a new dimension to Satyam’s innovative Fun@Work initiative, which involves associates and their families in social and recreational activities sponsored by Satyam.

The new portal enables Satyam associates to post examples of their creative talents, so that their colleagues can enjoy and vote for those who outshine the rest.

Satyam’s Fun@Work program broadens the avenues available for associates to be involved with the company and to collaborate with fellow associates and their families. The new portal is powered by iTalent—an advanced voice- and visual-enabled Internet program that enables users to participate in online contests.

iTalent is provided by NowPos (short for Now Possible), a leading Hyderabad-based research and development company.

“Fun@work is an innovative program and a great way to develop camaraderie among colleagues,” said B. Rama Raju, Satyam’s chief executive officer, at the launch of the website yesterday. “Being a global company, this initiative connects everyone irrespective of their location, and has a huge communication potential going forward.”

The system will initially connect Satyam’s 51,000 associates around the world. Plans to extend the platform to family members of associates are underway. The site will have new contests updated regularly.
