SQC becomes the exclusive provider of Shipley Limited’s services in India
Software Quality Centre, Bangalore, Becomes The Only Licensed Provider Of Shipley Limited’s Bid Training And Consulting Services In India.
Software Quality Centre (SQC), Bangalore, and Shipley Limited, UK, have partnered to deliver training and consulting services around bid management and business improvement areas.
Expertise offered will be in the areas of. Sales & Bid Training, Skills Transfer Coaching, Professional Accreditation and Business Development Processes.
Professionals working in the area of bid management and proposal consulting, in India, can now get an international accreditation from the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP).
"The industry has never had formal education or certification so far and professionals only learnt on-the-job," said Kris Puthucode, President and CEO, Software Quality Centre LLC. He went on to say:“Though no exact estimates are available on the number of professionals in the area in the country, a ballpark figure of 2,500-3,000 is what rough calculations would lead to,”
Tony Birch, Managing Director, Shipley Limited, who has trained over 10,000 professionals in the area, is upbeat about the Indian market. “Professional Accreditation in writing proposals and managing bids for sales existed only in the US and UK till recently. A large number of people in India write proposals without knowing that it is an important skill”
Cathy Day, Director of the APMP Accreditation Programme, who led the development of the project, is confident that this move will lead to Indian companies winning more business. She says “Feedback to the APMP, over the two years since the programme has been launched, has shown that those organisations that support their staff, in going through this programme, have improved the quality of their bids, resulting in them winning more business”
The establishment and success of software service firms in Bangalore after the liberalisation of India's economy has led to the growth of India's information technology industry. Bangalore is referred to as the Silicon Valley of India and accounts for 35 percent of India's software exports.
Through this exciting new partnership, Shipley and SQC will jointly bring to India a host of training and consulting services geared around proposal, bid management and business development improvement areas. SQC and Shipley will offer highly experienced consultants that can offer expertise across the full range of Shipley services. The major industries that will be served are IT, Software Services, Manufacturing, Telecoms, Banking Financial Services and Insurance among others.
