IBM's outsourcing share to rise
IBM continues to gain more business in India's domestic information technology market, and looks to control almost half the domestic outsourcing market by 2010, reports India's Economic Times.
According to at least two experts tracking India's $5.6 billion market for software outsourcing, IBM currently has a share of around 36%.
“In terms of revenues, IBM's share will be 50% to 60% already,” an expert who helps Indian enterprises plan their IT spend told the Economic Times.

Prabhat calls his company, a second-generation outsourcing firm, Anantara Solutions.
Satyam appoints new leader
Offshore outsourcing giant Satyam has appointed company veteran AS Murthy as its new leader, states the UK's IT Pro.
