Indian IT giant to open major outsourcing center

"Over the last six months our company was trying to shift its interest to other states of the region and Poland is another step on this road. I confirm our willingness to invest in Poland, works are very advanced," said S.V. Mani, director of TCS in CEE. TCS owns an outlet in Hungary employing 360 persons, but this figure will soon increase to 1,000. In Poland the firm is considering the Kraków area for its operations, but the final decision has not been made yet. "We took a decision about creating an IT technology park. It would offer CIT exemptions and preferences for software exporters. We still have not decided about the location," said Sławomir Kopeć of the Małopolska Marshal's Office. The creation of the park is envisaged in the agreement signed by the region and Hindu Andhra Pradesh state, in which TCS operates. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,9) M.M.
