Wipro, which announced this week it was acquiring U.S. based infrastructure management services provider Infocrossing for $600 million, has plans to open several software development and IT services facilities in the U.S.
Wipro expects within three years to have about 1,000 American workers based in its Atlanta development center. While Wipro is predominately seen as an Indian outsourcer, the push in the U.S. augments the company's expansion in other countries, including development centers in Brazil, Europe, China, Mexico and Canada, he said.
To address the cost issues involved with hiring U.S. employees, the plan is for Wipro to recruit people with associate degrees, hire and train them, allow them to "earn while you learn" Wipro software development processes. Hiring staff with associate degrees is "lower cost" than recruiting engineers with four-year or grad degrees, he said.
