SunGard Availability Services has announced its expansion in India with two new dedicated Workplace Recovery facilities, located in Thane and Noida. The opening of these new centres follows the signing of a dedicated workplace recovery contract with a major international bank, and aims to meet the demand from international businesses for high levels of resilience for their key operations.
"This expansion is as a result of direct demand from global businesses, particularly in the financial sector for the same levels of security and resilience that they enjoy in their other territories," says Keith Tilley, MD UK & Executive VP Europe for SunGard Availability Services. "Organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the effect that major disruptions can have on their business, wherever it is located. In the current economic environment, it is unthinkable to have large swathes of your workforce out of action as a result of a business disruption."
"SunGard's unrivalled heritage for robustness and scalability, combined with our existing knowledge of the Indian business landscape including the challenges peculiar to the competitive Business Process Outsourcing sector means we are well placed to deliver cost-effective availability solutions of high global standards for businesses located in India. We see this as just the initial phase of our expansion in India and are currently reviewing options for additional services as well as locations," Tilley added.
