Human Resources GalaxE Solutions to increase headcount Our Bureau
Bangalore , June 13 India is not considered a market when it comes to SOA. Lack of awareness, in spite of evangelist initiatives and seminars conducted across the country by IBM, BEA and SAP-TCS, is proving to be a downer. SOA consultants are bundling their services and taking them where "CIOs have SOA at the top of their minds." SOA is growing exponentially in USA. In India, the SOA boom is expected to hit only after two years. For an implementation that cost $1 million, Pfizer saved $10 million a year thanks to SOA, claimed Mr Suresh Pande, Vice-President, GalaxE Solutions India. Such return on investment could be replicated across verticals, depending on the implementation, he said. Auto giants could use this in their B2B (business to business) dealings with their vendors. Financial services are also expected to adopt SOA, but the healthcare industry is not mature enough for this revolution, he added. "As we integrate with global markets, the pace of change will become more rapid. Availability of skilled SOA consultants will also dictate the adoption of SOA," said Mr Pande. Small and medium businesses are also expected to adopt SOA by 2008 as they duplicate strategies of larger firms. GalaxE Solutions is a US-based consulting firm that offers a set of proprietary best practices for adopters of SOA. The company is increasing its headcount from 300 to 500 globally and 125 to 300 in India over the next 12 months. "Our Indian centre will contribute to 70 per cent of deployments of next-generation IT architecture," said Mr Timothy Bryan, Chairman and CEO, GalaxE Solutions.
