Ushacomm to increase Headcount at Kolkata software centre

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 25, 2008 -- Kolkata : At a time when most IT majors are going for large scale lay-offs, Ushacomm India, a Rs 3000 crore Usha Martin Group company, is on a recruitment spree. Not being an IT body shop has indeed paid off for this Kolkata-based BSS/OSS solutions provider.

With all the three prospective candidates for US Presidentship proposing imposition of strict restrictions on IT body shopping, India undoubtedly stands threatened. “However since Ushacomm is a product based company, such restrictions on IT body shopping will not impact the business of Ushacomm in a big way”, says Debyani Sinha, Head – HR, Ushacomm.

Ushacomm is a leading provider of Business Support Systems (BSS) for fixed, mobile, broadband/IP, and cable and satellite markets. Along with its South African partner, Eppixcomm, Ushacomm caters to over 65 telecom operators worldwide with the clientele ranging from green field operators to major corporations serving millions of subscribers. Major ICT providers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and North and South America have selected Ushacomm products and services for their complex and unique business needs in the OSS/BSS value chain.

UshaComm has a strong presence in the global telecom market. While the subscriber base of the operator is increasing there is a downward pressure on Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). “We are, therefore, continuously putting our effort to ensure that billing and our other BSS products help operators to increase their revenue”, comments Dr. Saugata Banerjee, Executive Director of UshaComm.
