EDS Technologies plans to set up a technology competency centre for PLM solutions and applications in Bangalore.
EDS Technologies (EDST), India's largest product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions and service provider plans to set up a technology competency centre for PLM solutions and applications in Bangalore.
The objective of establishing this centre is to help Indian customers - original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and engineering and design service providers -, derive best benefits from the use of PLM solutions for their business.
EDST has named Venkata Siva Prasad as the head of this competency centre.
According to S Senthil, VP - Operations, EDS Technologies, the competency centre will have a dedicated team of specialists in IBM and Dassault Systems PLM products such as Catia, Enovia VPLM and Enovia Smarteam.
The team brings with it domain expertise in automotive, aerospace and other industries with wide experience in implementing, customising and consulting on these PLM solutions.
The company has been providing PLM solutions to the end customers since 1995 and has over 650 customers in India using these solutions.
The experience and expertise in offering leading-edge PLM solutions has enabled EDST to emerge as a leading solution provider to manufacturing industry and engineering service providers.
In addition to meeting the PLM requirements of large OEMs and service providers, the new competency centre of EDST will also focus on enabling SMEs implement cost effective and scalable enterprise PLM solutions.
The objective of this initiative is to share the experiences gained over the last decade to help industries reduce product development costs and time to market thereby increasing the competitiveness in the global market.
Starting with a few consultants with strong domain knowledge of verticals from automotive and aerospace segments, over the next 5 years, EDST expects to add a large number of consultants to work very closely with the industries and service providers.
"Our aim is to provide value added services to customers and enable our clients to leverage decades of our technical support expertise through this dedicated competency centre thereby assist them in increasing productivity", says Senthil.
The competency centre will be backed by a strong 40 member technical support team.
The size of global engineering and design business is about $650 billion.
Today, India's share in this market is estimated to be less than 1%.
This is expected to grow exponentially over the next 5 years.
EDST expects this competency centre to help Indian engineering and design service providers in garnering a larger share of this growing outsourcing business.
