MphasiS, a leading IT services provider, has announced their strategic intent to augment their near-shore presence with the inauguration of a new delivery centre in Wroclaw, Poland.

MphasiS Poland will be operational by mid-2011. The company has hired Mr. Slawomir Kiedos as the Centre Head and plans to hire over 100 employees in the first year and double it over the next three years. The core principle of this centre is to provide near-shore services to UK as well as Eastern European customers. MphasiS Poland is poised to meet customer needs with support in the European time zone, European language capabilities and MphasiS’ tenured global expertise.

This centre will support existing clients, as well as attract new ones in the region. Wroclaw delivery centre will offer clients business process outsourcing capabilities, high-end application development and maintenance across all verticals.

“Poland offers the ability to service clients in most continental European languages and is well connected with other Western European business centres. The availability of talent, language skills and an established business infrastructure in Poland made it a natural choice for us,” said Gopinathan Padmanabhan, Head Global Delivery Unit, at MphasiS. He went on to say, “Europe is an important and fast growing geography for us with a mixed portfolio of some large strategic relationships and mid-sized accounts. We are envisioning scaling the value chain for customers and their clients through the metamorphosis from a cost effective supporter to a thought leader in continental Europe. Thus, strengthening our relationship with clients in the Banking & Capital Markets, Insurance, Healthcare and Telecoms space.”

The centre will join MphasiS’ network of Global Delivery centres providing best-in-class IT/ITes services to clients worldwide. Employees at the Poland centre will be part of MphasiS Global Talent Pool and mentored as part of the MphasiS Talent Development Programme.
