Moves to Capitalize on the Country’s Innovative Engineering Talent to Strengthen Its Customer-Driven Data and AI Services
Pactera EDGE, a world-class digital solution provider for the data-driven, intelligent enterprise, announced today that it plans to open new operations in Serbia, Southeast Europe’s emerging high-tech hub. The company’s initial goal is to hire about 100 local engineering and tech-focused employees.
Serbia has steadily gained a global reputation for its engineering excellence and talent availability. The country promotes a thriving IT sector that’s growing more than 25% annually. Global leaders such as Microsoft and Amazon have discovered the benefits of hosting operations in Serbia. Now, Pactera EDGE plans to leverage the power of Serbia’s engineering talent to bolster its own innovative programs and initiatives.
“Serbia offers us a depth of engineering skills that closely aligns with our business focus at Pactera EDGE,” said CEO Venkat Rangapuram. “Be it the data sovereignty requirements of our enterprise clients or consumer-sensitive data sets; we’re confident a workforce in Serbia will provide us with innovative solutions across our E2E digital service offerings of device endpoints, edge, cloud, and cognitive computing layers.”
“The launch of Pactera EDGE’s Serbian operations further bolsters our European presence and strengthens our digital engineering functions.” Alba Guix, Vice-President and Europe Regional Head, said, “In addition, the new time zone expands our global follow-the-sun delivery model.”
Heading up the effort to identify candidates in Serbia will be Lana Stamenkovic, a Pactera EDGE Human Resources Manager located in Belgrade, Serbia.
