DURBAN, South Africa (AFP) - Software group Satyam has become FIFA's first major sponsor from India after being appointed as their official IT services provider for the next seven years.
Under an agreement signed on Saturday, Satyam will join global giants such as McDonalds and the US brewer Anheuser-Busch as one of six World Cup sponsors.
The Indian company will provide Information Technology (IT) support for the 2010 and 2014 World Cups to be held in South Africa and Brazil respectively.
Danger - Danger Will Robinson! The Indian geeks are coming... En Mass!
Well is is one way for advertising yourself to death. Satyam is a large company and not it is a large company with credibility of World Cup IT Support! On top of that, since they are contributing these services, they might even receive tax relief from their government too.
Question is - apart from all the typical jokes - Is Indian IT Really good because of being cheap or is it "REALLY" good? I am beginning to think that it is really good, and if that is the case, then may God have mercy on the Should of our IT systems. If they are as good as I think that they are, and they are so so cheap, then there is not place for North American IT anywhere in the world. True, they still don't have our experience and perhaps - sophistication - but they are acquiring it and fast! We better wake up, so what Japan did to us as far as Auto industry was concerned - will not happen to our IT industry by India! Isn't it enough that Chia has its controlling hand all the up to our throats when it comes to Tech based hardware - now we are inviting India to take over the IT and Software as well?
