Press Release Summary: New 50-seat facility will support regional customers
Center will create substantial jobs and support Australian enterprise application
integrated Centre of Excellence
Fourth center in Brisbane established, in addition to centers in Sydney, Melbourne
and Canberra


Press Release Body: Satyam Computer Services, Ltd. (NYSE:SAY), a leading global
consulting and information technology services company, today announced the launch
of a new solutions center in Brisbane's Central Business District. The facility will
support Queensland-based clients across various IT platforms with an emphasis on
enterprise application-based solutions. The facility reflects Satyam's commitment to
the Australian market (the company has development centers in Melbourne and recently
launched a regional solutions hub in North Sydney adding up to over 7,500 square
meters) as well as its continuous efforts to bolster its Virtual Global Delivery
Model.

B. Rama Raju, Satyam's co-founder and managing director, officially opened the new
facility at a ceremony attended by several senior Satyam clients, and officiated by
Anita Nayar, India's Consul General.

"Satyam is already well established in Australia and today's announcement reinforces
our ongoing commitment to collaborating with customers-wherever they need us-to
transform their organizations," Rama Raju said. "The Brisbane facility will generate
world-class ICT solutions and offer the same expertise and project management
capabilities as our other solution centers across the globe. Moreover, it will
enable Satyam to meet specific regional requirements of our Queensland-based clients
and help them excel in a competitive national business environment. It clearly
demonstrates our willingness to adjust our delivery models to align with our
customers' needs"

"Queensland has a vibrant ICT industry that attracts exceptional talent from across
Australia and elsewhere in the region," said Virender Aggarwal, Satyam's director
and senior vice president for APAC-MEIA. "This creative, energetic talent pool will
bolster our capabilities to provide specialized ICT solutions locally and to global
customers. With its pro-business initiatives, Queensland has earned its reputation
for attracting international ICT organizations like Satyam to establish a presence
here."
The Brisbane development center will serve local government, finance, and insurance
clients, while addressing other sectors, including mining. In addition, a
significant proportion of Satyam's Australian development will also take place at
the new facility, primarily the development of future enterprise applications for
both Australian and multinational clients. The center currently employs 40
professionals and expects to employ another 50 professionals in the near future.

Today, Satyam has a diverse workforce of over 1200 associates serving Australia out
of which over 800 are based in Australia. Satyam has laid major emphasis on local
employment generation and today over 42% of associates in Australia are local
nationals. Apart from hiring experienced local professionals Satyam is working
closely with Australian Computer Society (ACS) to foster interest back in IT amongst
Australian youth. Towards this initiative Satyam has offered scholarships to about
100 associates; many of the university students are already enjoying the benefits of
this scholarship and are currently getting trained in India to the same exact
standards and training that our Indian engineers go through in Satyam's campuses.
These young graduates after their training will come and form part of Satyam's
Australia's team. Some of these engineers who attended training in India last year
are already working with our clients in Australia.
