iGATE to expand Canadian operations

Our Bureau

Bangalore , Dec 22

AFTER Japan, it is Canada now for iGATE Global Solutions. It plans to ramp up its Canadian operations aggressively, the company has said.

iGATE, which has over 250 employees servicing the Canadian market, expects to double its headcount next year, according to a release.

Besides focusing on IT services and contact centre operations, the company is targeting the Canadian market with its iTOPS (Integrated Technology and Operations) solutions in finance and accounting (F&A), insurance, and banking.

Recently, it signed two major deals in Canada — one a multi-year iTOPS deal in the F&A space and the other in IT services for a leading financial services company, the release said.

"Canada is a rapidly growing market for iGATE. We have seen a lot of traction around our consulting, IT, and F&A outsourcing services," said Mr Srinjay Sengupta, Chief Sales Officer.

"The CEO, Mr Phaneesh Murthy, said: "The iTOPS model has been well received in the Canadian market. We are in active discussions with a number of global corporations on iTOPS-related initiatives in the BFSI space. With iTOPS gaining acceptance in the marketplace, we are confident of expanding our presence in Canada over the next 12 months."
