IBM on Wednesday announced the opening of three regional offices in Dehradun, Guwahati and Raipur, taking the total number of branch offices to 18 across India. The technology giant plans to set up offices in 40 cities by 2013.
“IBM is currently focussed on increasing its presence in smaller, rapidly developing Indian cities as part of its plan to establish a presence in 40 Indian cities by 2013. By extending its network of regional branches, IBM is strengthening its ability to deliver more advanced technologies and services to its clients,” IBM said in a statement.
IBM is experiencing particular demand for information management, security, cloud computing and business analytics solutions as businesses and government organisations turn to IT to reduce costs and gain competitive advantage, it said.
IBM has a number of clients in Dehradun, Guwahati and Raipur where it is focussed on banking, education, government, energy, manufacturing, industry and IT sectors.
