Ellucian inaugurated a state-of-the-art facility in Bangalore that is said to enable the company to work more closely with local institutions to develop India-centric solutions and provide enhanced implementation and product support. The new office brings together the functions of marketing, sales, engineering, services, and support. By co-locating all the departments, the company expects to accelerate the rate of delivery of new products and provide better and broader support to its growing customer base in India. Ellucian also plans to invite higher education thought leaders to the facility to engage with its customers, and identify more partnering opportunities to expand the company’s portfolio of solutions. Currently, about 250 employees staff the operations hub.
