Marlabs to strengthen its Cloud Computing Practice & Mobile Offerin

Marlabs, among the leading, global IT consulting & service providers, today announced plans to strengthen its Microsoft Technologies practice and its Cloud Computing Offering and Mobile offerings, using Microsoft’s Windows Azure cloud computing platform. Marlabs has a strategic plan to focus on enabling customers to minimize the TCO involved in delivering novel user experiences and content to end users over multiple screens – including web, desktop, phone, tablets and IPTVs - by reusing the code assets and by integrating the back end logic with the cloud. Marlabs is planning to grow this practice by doubling its current strength of Microsoft consultants over the next two years and expects to achieve accelerated double digit growth using Microsoft Technologies.


As a part of the initiative, Marlabs is hosting the ‘Microsoft Developer Conference’ on January 12th, 2011 at its global delivery center in Bangalore. Ramaprasanna Chellamuthu, Developer Evangelist from Microsoft and creator of ‘Buddy Home’, a robotic home using the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio, will address the keynote session on Microsoft Robotics platform. Leading Microsoft practitioners will then conduct focused sessions on Microsoft Azure, Windows Phone 7, Asp.net, Microsoft Lightswitch, Microsoft Surface, Silverlight 5.0 and other exciting Mircrosoft Technologies.

Speaking on the initiative, Anil Raghavan, Chief Delivery Officer of Marlabs said, “We have a growing Microsoft technology practice at Marlabs, which we are keen to strengthen further. The unique convergence of Microsoft Technologies along with our elaborate architectural framework will help provide our customers quicker and efficient solutions. Also, our cloud computing offering using the Windows Azure should enable them migrate their on-premise applications easily and leverage the cloud advantage. The Microsoft Developer Conference is a great opportunity for developers to meet professionals and experts in Microsoft Technology and a networking opportunity that they should take advantage of. In 2010, Marlabs has already delivered various cross platform Line of Business applications and Rich Internet Applications to customers in Education and Entertainment domains - leveraging the capabilities of Windows Azure. Now, we are looking towards enabling our customers to deliver user experiences on multiple screens with cloud as the back end, by minimizing the TCO."
