Matrikon Looks to India to Boost Technical Resources

Matrikon has announced it has entered into a joint entity agreement with India's SoftDEL Systems Pvt. Ltd. As a result, a new corporation will be created that will support Matrikon's product development initiatives and provide project consulting globally.

Anand Vishnubhotla, formerly the branch manager of Matrikon's Edmonton office, will now be overseeing Matrikon's operations in India.

"This agreement allows us to tap directly into India's deep labour pool of technically strong, qualified engineers for deployment to Matrikon client sites around the world, especially in areas with tight labour markets such as Australia, the Middle East, northern Alberta and parts of Europe," said Nizar Somji, Matrikon's president and CEO.
