 Following in the footsteps of TCS, Infosys and Wipro, Hyderabad-based Satyam Computers is ramping up its consulting business.Satyam, one of India’s top five IT services companies with revenues over one billion dollars, announced on Monday that it has recruited a top management team from The Publishing Practice, Ltd. (TPP), a specialist UK consultancy in the media and entertainment industry, to spearhead the development of a new consulting group for its global media and entertainment practice. TPP's customers include Blackwell, Elsevier, Financial Times, Harcourt Education, LexisNexis, London Business School, Reed Business Information and Sweet & Maxwell. The move is designed to enable Satyam to combine an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the publishing business and integrate it with its global services organization. TPP's experienced consultancy group - including Mike Abell, Sharon Duckworth and Stephen Ryden-Lloyd - will join Satyam's global media and entertainment practice to provide strategic consulting services and project-based delivery work for the publishing, online, broadcast, music and related industries. The new group's consultancy services will complement Satyam's existing application delivery-based services to include new digital and online consulting - ranging across content acquisition, publishing, production and supply chain. Satyam and TPP have already established a successful track record working with customers on joint projects, since they formed an alliance in 2005. Kevin English, senior vice president of Satyam's global media and entertainment practice, said, " We believe that the indepth industry knowledge that Satyam acquires with the new addition of this senior consulting team will provide a real competitive advantage for us in our media and entertainment business - both here in Europe and in the US.” {moscomment} |
