We need scalable IT services and support to ensure operational efficiency. We have found a reliable partner in ITC Infotech and trust that we will soon build a sizeable overseas resource base”.

The engagement will focus around development and support of Danske Bank’s systems. The development center will provide these services across a full range of technology capabilities including IBM Mainframe, PeopleSoft HRMS, Front end applications on the Microsoft platform (.NET) and Lotus Notes based applications.

Speaking at the inauguration, Sanjiv Puri, Managing Director, ITC Infotech Ltd, said, “This opening is a major milestone in our relationship with Danske Bank, which began in July 2006.
