Bengaluru: Infosys Ltd’s chief executive officer Vishal Sikka has hired two more of his former colleagues at German software firm SAP SE and tasked one of them with building a team out of Palo Alto to develop high-performance computing platforms, new products and enterprise solutions.
The move shows that India’s second-largest software services company is using the Silicon Valley base as the nerve centre of its efforts to transform itself into a next-generation services company.
Mate Radalj, formerly vice-president and chief software architect at SAP, joined Infosys earlier this week as associate vice-president (AVP) and principal technologist, an executive familiar with the matter said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Radalj, who will be based out of Palo Alto, has been asked to put together a team of 10 executives, who will focus on high-performance computing platforms and databases such as “not only structured query languages” or NoSQL.
He is the 13th senior SAP executive to join Infosys since Sikka took over as CEO in August last year.
“For Infosys to succeed in the new model, software is key to helping them drive down delivery costs and create new affirms and offerings for growth. (So) Vishal is tapping into the pool of talent that he trusts to execute,” said Ray Wang, founder of Constellation Research.
Earlier in February, Infosys hired Stefanie Mueller, former chief operating officer, analytics, at SAP, as executive director to be based out of Mannheim, Germany.
