Telelogic to set up offices, development center in India

BANGALORE: Telelogic India is mooting a proposal to set up offices and a

development center in India. "We are looking at proposals of setting up

offices for supporting customers and also to gear up sales. This apart, we are

also looking at the viability factor of setting up a development center by next

year," said the firm’s managing director, Johan Wilson.

Telelogic India was set up as a wholly owned subsidiary on January 2001 and

has till date registered a 165 per cent jump in revenue, as against its

performance in first quarter of the previous year. This revenue includes just

sales and services.

According to Wilson, a significant number of new customers have signed up

since the inception of its Indian operations. However, he refused to divulge the

names of the customers or the revenue percentage from them. Telelogic ended the

year 2000 with $92 million revenue from its worldwide operations and is now

expecting a 100 per cent revenue growth this year.

The Swedish-based Telelogic is engaged in offering solutions for advanced

software development. It has three products, DOORS, Tau and CM Synergy. The

company is also involved in building products for future communication

technologies and visual software development languages.

The Indian subsidiary has been primarily set up to offer first line support

to its customers in India and second line support to its Asia Pacific customers.

Some of its big time Indian customers include Motorola, Lucent, Genreal

Electric, Samsung, Wipro, TCS and Satyam.
