GXS increases India Focus

BANGALORE, INDIA: B2B integration solution provider, GXS is looking at emerging markets for growth, with India at the focal point.

GXS provides business-to-business EDI and on-demand supply chain integration, synchronization and collaboration solutions to a number of verticals such as Banking and Financial Services, Retail, Automotive etc.

GXS plans to grow the India team bigger.

Karl Salnoske, Executive Vice President, Service Delivery and CIO at GXS, said, “We do have significant revenue business in India, in addition to our major investment in the India Technology Center.”

“We are accelerating the business in Bangalore, not only the technology center but also as a market. We are setting up sales force in the country to tap India-based firms. We have around 100 openings for technical talent for core product development and sales executives.”

He shared that GXS has a business relationship with Wipro for customers who need local support and also have an Indian partner for Trading Grid Messaging Services. GXS also got into an agreement with Tata Jaguar and Land Rover for EDI support to automate the movement, translation and validation of messages with its suppliers. But this does not fall under the India business.

The company has a technology center based in Bangalore with 250 strength. Its business in India started since 2001, when GXS spun off from GE as an Independent firm.
