SubscribeScandinavian Micro Systems announces today the launch of their Outsourcing Services Division specialising in the development of software business solutions especially for the maritime industry.
SMS has highly experienced personnel in offices located in the USA, Norway, Germany, United Kingdom and an extensive development center located in Hyderabad, India.
The 30+ year old company has been developing its own software for the past 10 years and in India for the past 5 years. "We saw the opportunity and the value in setting up a production facility in India. We knew how much money this would save us and our clients and still retain the highest quality standards," stated Oddbjorn Steinsland , President and CEO of SMS.
"Branching out into other industries came naturally because we observed our clients were beginning to diversify and we had to prepare for this," stated Steinsland from his Norwegian headquarters. "Some of our contacts were moving on to non-related maritime divisions of their respective companies. To keep our competitive edge we expanded allowing us the ability to keep and build these relationships," added Steinsland.
Some of the services provided by SMS Outsourcing Services include custom software development, custom application integration and software maintenance. The firm specialises in VC++, COM/DCOM, .NET, Java, Web Services, Video Streaming, Image Processing and 3/D Animation.
