Creative Synergies Group (CSG), a Global Engineering Services Company which provides ‘Complete Product Development Solutions’ and ‘High-End Engineering Services’ to Global Fortune 500 Companies, today announced the launch of their 2nd engineering centre in Bangalore. The launch of this Centre signifies their focus on expanding their global presence and in tapping the Indian Engineering Service Outsourcing (ESO) segment. The new facility located at Vrindavan Tech Village (SEZ), Varthur Hobli, will house over 130 engineers. CSG plans to invest over $10 million towards expanding its engineering centres and operations in India over the next 2 years.

CSG India currently employs over 400 engineers and is looking at expanding their strength to 800 engineers by the beginning of 2013.

Says Dr. Mukesh V Gandhi, Founder, CEO, Creative Synergies Group, “The new engineering development and solution centre in India will help us gain a foothold in the Asia-Pacific region and better serve our customers globally. We are witnessing an acute demand from our global customers for India–based engineering support, especially in high-end solutions. By focusing on mission-critical solutions we are creating a completely new segment in the engineering services space.”

He adds, “Needless to say our presence in India is driven by the fact that India provides a huge opportunity in experienced and skilled manpower and we want to harness this talent pool for our highly skilled industry needs. We are creating an environment that helps nurture and empower our engineers ‘to recognize their true potential’, something that is second nature to me from my academic tenure.”

With barely a few months of operations to its credit, CSG is already a recognised name with services spanning a variety of engineering disciplines including ‘Complete Product Development’, ‘Computer Aided Design’, ‘Computer Aided Engineering’, ‘Manufacturing Engineering’ and ‘Engineering-centric IT’. The company launched its operations in India with its 1st Engineering Centre out of Brigade Tech Park, Whitefield in Bangalore in July 2011.

The company is today a recognized player in the engineering services space with its focus on high-end technology based engineering services and complete product development solutions.

CSG is promoted by Dr. Mukesh Gandhi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, a well-known veteran in the global engineering services arena. Previously Dr. Gandhi served as a tenured faculty member at Michigan State University, where he published over 200 technical publications and books on technology driven design, manufacturing and innovative global product development strategies. His research initiatives were funded by several prestigious organizations including U.S. Army, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institute For Standards and Technology (NIST) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

He is credited to have floated and promoted the successful Quantech Global Services which was later acquired by Wipro Technologies in 2006.

Research Cites Company’s Agility, Technology and Market Leadership

Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite solutions and services, has again been cited by COMSYS, one of the satellite industry’s leading research organizations, as the dominant provider in both enterprise and consumer industry segments by a wide margin.

Just released, the 12th Edition of the COMSYS Report on the VSAT (very small aperture terminal) business credits Hughes with 49.8 percent market share in the global enterprise terminal market—double its nearest competitor—attributing it to:

– adaptability in the face of changing market demands;
– vertical integration―from manufacturing its own terminals to providing customer service; and
– flexibility and application power.

According to Simon Bull, senior analyst at COMSYS, “Hughes’ presence casts a shadow over almost every player in the market. Its dominance of the enterprise VSAT industry is remarkable in the fact that the company has been able to sustain its lead for over 20 years and that it has rolled with the punches and constantly responded with new developments which have kept it at the forefront of an intensely competitive market.”

In the North American consumer market, the report shows Hughes with a 48.4 percent share, almost 12 percent more than its nearest competitor, and notes that its satellite Internet subscriber base is steadily expanding while that of competitors has stalled. Hughes operates the world’s largest satellite Internet service, HughesNet®, with more than 620,000 subscribers in North America, and is the world’s largest Ka-band network. The Ka-band spectrum provides higher bandwidth and delivers more capacity at faster speeds to smaller dishes than previous-generation Ku-band networks.

“One of the most gratifying aspects of this report is recognition that we’re not sitting on our lead. Customers come to us and stay with us because they see steady improvements in bandwidth and download speeds. In our case, big does not mean slow and inflexible—
it means agile and responsive,” said Pradman Kaul, CEO, Hughes.

COMSYS Report Calls Hughes Dominant Force in Satellite Network Industry,

The report noted, “Hughes is the final word in vertical integration. It builds its entire ground segment (with the exception of the antennas); sells, operates and manages its own service; and now owns its own satellites. It alone has a highly successful service business that fuels its manufacturing arm and challenges its engineers to improve product performance and quality while driving down costs.”

Steria, a leading provider of IT-enabled business services, is pleased to announce that it has again achieved one of the top scores for its sector in France from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). CDP is a non-profit organisation that evaluates the commitment of the world’s largest corporations to tackle climate change and support a more sustainable world

Recognised with a disclosure score of 89/100 in 2010, Steria’s performance improved yet again this year with a score of 93/100 and a carbon performance band of A- compared to a global average of 69/100 and C.

In recent years, Steria has focused its efforts on monitoring and reducing carbon emissions and promoting energy efficiency both at a company level and for individual employees.

Steria recently opened environmentally-friendly offices in both France and Sweden. The Steria France ‘Green Office’ generates more energy than it uses, and was awarded the ‘Best Green Workplace Award’ earlier this year by French national TV and radio station BFM. In Stockholm, the Steria Sweden office takes advantage of the excess energy created by the city’s central railway station to provide heating for the building. In an effort to limit its environmental impact, Steria has been certified CarbonNeutral® for flight and fleet business travel since January 2010.

Steria solutions such as Smart Energy Management and Intelligent Transport are aimed at helping clients address their sustainability issues, which can have a positive effect on both business performance and stakeholder relationships.

François Enaud, General Manager and Group CEO of Steria, said, “Steria’s scores from the Carbon Disclosure Project are encouraging. It confirms that by managing, disclosing reducing our own carbon output and providing clients with tangible, practical solutions to their own sustainability challenges, we are taking the right steps to protect the environment. Social responsibility is a core element of our corporate strategy, along with our strong conviction that human values and economic performance are intrinsically bound together.”

Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of the Carbon Disclosure Project, commented: “Companies that achieve top scores from the Carbon Disclosure Project are demonstrating good internal data management practices for understanding greenhouse gas emissions. They have shown a strong awareness of the business issues related to climate change including climate-related risks and opportunities. Those organisations that give clear consideration to measuring and reporting on climate change issues will be best placed to capitalise on the opportunities from managing them.”

New Solution Enables Enterprises and Managed Service Providers to Offer Automated Self-service Delivery of Infrastructure as a Service

CA Technologies today announced CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock™ Platforms, a new solution that drives Business Service Innovation by enabling IT to provide rapid, predictable and secure provisioning and delivery of cloud infrastructure and critical IT and business services.

This is the company’s fifth solution certified for use with VCE Vblock Infrastructure Platforms, all of which are based on CA Technologies Unified Automation solutions.

Enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) use cloud management software to enable their Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings. Many organizations are evaluating and testing converged private cloud architectures, such as Vblock Platforms, that allow IT resources to be dynamically pooled and shared across multiple physical and virtual computing environments.

“Over the next two years IT has high expectations for the economic, productivity and performance benefits that can be achieved by using automation, orchestration and self service provisioning to optimize resource consumption and IT workflows across private cloud environments,” said Mary Johnston Turner, research vice president, Enterprise System Management Software, IDC.

CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms is designed to address these expectations by offering standardization, a rapid provisioning process and performance predictability.

“We continue to work with VCE to help customers improve business agility, reduce risk and lower the costs of operating private clouds,” said Anna Gong, Vice President, Coud, Virtualization & Service Automation, Asia Pacific, CA Technologies. “CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms can help enterprises and MSPs rapidly deliver services in a private cloud environment, maximizing their investment in VCE Vblock Platforms and driving Business Service Innovation to deliver speed, performance and improved cost efficiencies.”

CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms leverages CA Process Automation and CA Service Catalog to provide customers with a single, unified view and point of control across virtual and private cloud resources.

Out-of-the-box standardized processes allow IT organizations to deliver Vblock Infrastructure Platforms as a service.

CA Service Catalog, accessed through a secure, online portal, empowers users to quickly select and provision the resources they need. CA Process Automation helps ensure that pooled resources are provisioned quickly, with minimal effort. Service usage is metered and associated to departments, cost centers, or users for billing or chargeback.

Every organization is different when it comes to process. CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms is built on top of an extensible platform that allows IT to easily customize the solution to meet its needs and provide the flexibility to respond dynamically to changing business requirements.

CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms is available today from CA Technologies and its partners, including GreenPages Technology Solutions, a national IT consulting and integration company.

“The latest CA Technologies integration with Vblock platforms enables IT to transform its converged infrastructure into a true platform for delivering private cloud services,” said John Ross, CTO, GreenPages. “By combining our Integration and Managed Services with CA Private Cloud Accelerator for Vblock Platforms, customers can enable private cloud capabilities in days versus months, and realize a rapid return on their VCE investment.”

“VCE is partnering with CA Technologies to help our mutual customers realize the benefits of virtualized environments and cloud computing using industry leading Vblock platforms,” said D Martin, vice president of Worldwide Channels for VCE. “Collaborations such as CA Private Cloud Accelerator from CA Technologies and GreenPages Technology Solutions simplify and automate data center infrastructure operations, providing true value for customers.”
