Fujitsu Consulting plans to invest between $5 million and $10 million to expand Rapidigm Inc's India facilities to allow for increased global offshoring to this country.
"Rapidigm is strategically important to Fujitsu Consulting and will continue to be in the future, considering that we are looking at 50 percent of revenues from the offshore market in the next five years," said Mr R.J. Smith Senior Vice-President, Fujitsu Consulting. The offshoring capabilities available through Rapidigm was one of the major considerations in making the acquisition, Mr Smith said. "There is tremendous pent-up demand from Fujistu customers for offshoring," he said.
Rapidigm also helps Fujitsu gain market coverage in specialised areas such as ERP (SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft), and business intelligence, and also gain market coverage in North America.
