The
global learning provider, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), is expanding
its presence in Scandinavia and the Benelux countries by opening a
sales office in the Netherlands to service the learning market in
Northern Europe.
In
keeping with the importance of this region in TIS's growth strategy,
the organisation has appointed one of its most senior personnel, Rati
Menon, as its Vice President of Northern Europe operations. Now in her
ninth year with TIS, Rati had earlier headed TIS's Quality operations,
spearheaded the implementation of SAP within TIS and then used that
experience to benefit TIS's clients by heading TIS's Enterprise
Application Training (EAT) division.
TIS's move follows its acquisitions - of Tertia Edusoft AG in
Switzerland and Tertia Edusoft GmbH in Germany - nearly two years ago,
which strengthened the company's position in the German and Swiss
corporate and education sectors.
TIS's CFO, Amita Karia, commented: "With the strengthening of the
Euro in world money markets, it makes good business sense to ramp up
our European presence.
"Our acquisitions in the German and Swiss markets have been
performing exceedingly well. Furthermore, we are a well-established
name in the UK e-learning industry," she added.
"Given all these favourable conditions, expansion into Northern Europe is simply the next logical step forward for TIS."
"Initially at least, the new Netherlands' operation will draw on
TIS's instructional design experience and expertise built up in the UK
and German markets in recent years," said Rati.
"Our further offerings, such as electronic performance support
systems (EPSS) and TOPSIM management simulations, help companies to
achieve their strategic initiatives.
"We intend to forge enduring alliances by solving key business
issues," she added. "Our aim is to leverage 17 years' of worldwide
success to develop solutions that are effective and relevant to the
northern European market."
