12 years, 1 month ago - March 15, 2012

International Business Machines (IBM), has announced the expansion of its branch office in Port Louis on Wednesday. The increased presence is expected to strengthen IBM’s ability to provide solutions and services to a rapidly expanding base of customers and partners in the region.

The event also marks the 10th year of IBM’s presence in Mauritius and it was held at the Labourdonnais Hotel in the presence of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) minister, Tassarajen Pillay Chedumbrum.

As Mauritius strives to strengthen its international competitiveness, IBM is experiencing strong demands from the textile, banking, tourism, telecommunications and IT services sectors, which are turning to technology to increase productivity and differentiate offerings,” said IBM General Manager for Middle East and Africa, Takreem El Tohamy

Pillay Chedumbrum pointed out the importance for companies to innovate to keep pace with the advent of new technologies. “The Mauritian Government recognises the central role ICT plays in enhancing the country’s development and we are working to establish Mauritius as a key exporter of ICT services. We want to position the country as a safe and reliable ICT destination, capitalising on our bilingual workforce and modern ICT infrastructure, and believe that IBM will strongly support this goal,” he said.

IBM’s Mauritius office is part of a broad programme of investment across Africa through the creation of new facilities, offices, training, staffing and recruitment, sales and marketing and corporate citizenship. The announcement followed the recent news of the opening of IBM’s office in Luanda, Angola
