Trigent and Codec Announce Strategic Partnership to Establish Global Capability Centres in India
In a significant move to bolster global technology delivery, Trigent Software, a US-based technology services company with over three decades of experience, has entered into a strategic partnership with Codec, a leading digital transformation consultancy headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. The collaboration aims to launch Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, positioning these Indian cities as primary technology delivery hubs for Codec's international expansion.
Expanding Global Footprint Through Indian Talent
Codec, recognized as one of Ireland's largest Microsoft Cloud Solution Providers, brings over 40 years of enterprise technology expertise across regions including Ireland, the UK, Poland, and Germany. The new GCCs in India will tap into the country's deep technology talent pool, focusing on areas such as artificial intelligence, application modernization, cloud infrastructure, customer experience, and managed services. This initiative is designed to scale Codec's global delivery and innovation capabilities, leveraging India's reputation as a hub for enterprise-grade Microsoft talent.
Build-Operate-Transfer Model for Seamless Integration
The partnership is structured on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, with Trigent serving as the execution partner. Trigent will oversee the construction and operationalization of the innovation centres, managing critical aspects such as talent acquisition, compliance, governance, and delivery operations. From the outset, the focus will be on establishing a stable setup while embedding Codec's innovation-first culture into the local teams. This approach ensures that by the time full ownership transfers to Codec, the India teams will be seamlessly integrated into the company's global operations.
Rohail Qadri, President of Global Capability Centre & Professional Services at Trigent, emphasized the strategic intent behind this model: "The BOT structure we are executing with Codec is designed to deliver a fully operational, culturally integrated capability, not just a staffed office. By the time the transfer happens, Codec's India teams will already be central to how the company operates globally."
India as a Strategic Choice for Innovation
India was selected for this expansion due to its evolution from a mere delivery destination to a genuine source of global enterprise innovation. With over 1,700 GCCs already established and a technology workforce of unparalleled depth, Bengaluru and Hyderabad offer a concentrated pool of skilled professionals. This makes them ideal anchors for Codec's GCC journey, enabling the company to drive complex, high-impact client engagements directly from India.
Ronan Stafford, Chief Executive Officer of Codec, highlighted the importance of India's talent density: "India has the talent density that our next phase of growth demands. The professionals who join us here will be part of a company that has invested in its people's long-term development for over four decades. By the time the transition to full Codec ownership is complete, they will already be integral to our operations."
Career Opportunities and Global Collaboration
Codec's India teams will be responsible for end-to-end delivery on complex client projects, working closely with European counterparts from day one. This setup provides a conducive environment for career growth, particularly for professionals with Microsoft certifications and strong enterprise delivery backgrounds. The GCCs aim to foster a culture of innovation and long-term development, aligning with Codec's legacy of investing in its workforce.
