INNOSOFT Technologies Ltd, the Hyderabad-based software services and IT-enabled services company, has announced its joint venture plans with two US-based firms — EiS Corporation Inc. and Apex IT Inc.

The Chairman and Managing Director of Innosoft, Mr Prasad Garapati, told newspersons that through these joint ventures, the company planned to address outsourcing business for these two corporations in the area of Oracle human resource management-based applications, payroll as also custom application development.

The company, which had diversified into IT and software services in 1998, has recently created a subsidiary Garapati Telefilms, a separate unit that is aimed at addressing the software space for the entertainment industry. The company is set to launch a Telugu serial in Maa TV channel, along with another family entertainer Bangaru Kalalu. It plans to invest Rs 2 crore in the telefilm project.
