An Indian outsourcer is opening two development centres in the UK that will employ 350 people.

Outsourcer TCS has opened centres at Redhill in Surrey and Stirling in Scotland to develop applications for a large insurer and other customers.

The centres will be fully up and running in a couple of months and will boost TCS's 5,000-strong UK workforce.

AS Lakshmi, head of UK and Ireland at TCS, said: "We already have a strong presence and are continuing to grow our capabilities to serve our customers."

TCS also runs a large innovation centre in Peterborough.

Fellow Indian outsourcer Infosys has also announced plans to concentrate growth in Europe and the UK.

The company is predicting close to 50 percent revenue growth in Europe over the next year, above its 20 percent global forecast but in line with its European performance in recent years.

Infosys has about 3,500 employees in the UK, mainly based on-site with its customers.

Software development for instance can be off shored with a perceived reduction in development costs but the resulting code is rarely of good quality and there is much greater expense in reworking and support over the life of software developed in this way. As a consultant who has to deal with off shoring on daily basis I very often see no savings at all over the lifetime of a software product, and in some cases actually see projects costing a fortune to rework.
