Indian software firm Satyam Computer Services sees no slowdown in US outsourcing demand even as the world's largest Economy lumbers under the weight of a housing downturn, a senior official said.
"U.S. is beginning to report a good pipeline now, especially in retail where recently we had some good success," Virender Aggarwal, a director, told Reuters in a phone interview from Manila on Friday. "The sentiment stays bullish as of today."
Investors have been worried about the impact of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis on IT spending and Cisco Systems Inc Chief Executive John Chambers said last week that the company had seen "dramatic decreases" in orders from U.S. banks.
Satyam, which specialises in business software, is negotiating about three deals close to $100 million each and five deals in the range of $20-$50 million, Aggarwal said.
Seven of those potential deals are in Asia-Pacific and one in South Africa, said Aggarwal, who heads the business in Asia-Pacific, Africa, India and the Middle East.
"My feeling is about three deals will close by January," he said.
