Hyderabad, Aug. 25 Frontline Consulting Services (FCS) has set up its India development centre in Madhapur near here. It plans to induct about 1,000 engineers.

The Vice-President (Technology), FCS, Mr Vikram Takru, said that the company had grown to about 250 people in Hyderabad during the year and this move to a new facility will expand the company presence and services portfolio.

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the company provides technology consulting, services and product development work for independent software vendors. It has developed solution connectors that help speed up technology deployments.

“We are also looking at establishing a campus in Hyderabad and hope to get support from the Andhra Pradesh Government to fuel the next phase of growth,” he said.

Speaking to newspersons after inauguration of the centre, Mr Takru said about 50 per cent of revenues came from consultancy services and the rest from services and products that the company has developed for small and medium businesses.

Mr Ajay Raina, Business Manager of Rockwell Software (part of Rockwell Automation), said that the company, along with FCS, is in the process of deploying technology solutions that will simplify data gathering process at the Tata Nano project coming up at Singur.

“Most of the work has been completed and simulations are now underway at the Tata Pune plant. Once we get the nod to install them, we will shift and implement them at the project site,” he said.
