A global business software company has invested £2.5 million opening new sites in India and Malaysia. Ben Dorks, chief executive of Nottingham-based Ideagen, joined the teams in Kuala Lumpur and Hyderabad for the official openings last week.
The investment consolidates the Ruddington company’s operations in both countries as it continues to take market share around the world. It already has offices across the UK, US, Australia, the UAE and Bulgaria, which provide safety, regulatory and compliance software to more than 11,400 companies and organisations.
Its clients include more than 900 hospitals and health care facilities, 1,100 aviation, aerospace and defence organisations, more than 1,000 government agencies, 15 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies and two thirds of the biggest global food and drink companies. Brands it works with include Heineken, British Airways, BAE, Aggreko, the US Navy, Bank of New York and Johnson Matthey.
Mr Dorks said: “Our operations in both Malaysia and India play an important role in helping to support the safe hands and quiet voices that protect the world.
“This investment in our people supports the continued development of our software solutions and growth plans, providing employees with a first-class working environment. It’s important our people have the best facilities with the best equipment and tools available to them.”
Ling Poh Teng, head of development and operations for Ideagen in Malaysia said: “It’s a fantastic modern office set-up for our growing team and will help us attract the best talent while positioning us well for the future. Our team will love working here.”
The Hyderabad office provides Ideagen with a second location in the country, after Odisha in east India.
Ashish Mohanty, head of Ideagen’s India operation, said: “It’s an exciting time for the team to move into these offices. This investment demonstrates Ideagen’s commitment to growth in India, while also making the employees here feel supported and valued. It will serve us very well as we grow.”
It comes a year after Ideagen was sold to an offshoot of software and services investor Hg in a deal worth more than £1 billion.
