TIS, which grew in revenue terms by some 60 per cent in 2003, acquiring 54 new clients - including Orange TMobile and British Airways - in the process, recently expanded its UK operations to include an e-learning development team to augment its operations based in Mumbai, India. Having begun working with its clients in a revolutionary way - to reduce buyers' risks in investing in e-learning - TIS staff will be discussing this revolutionary approach with visitors to the company's stand (number S7) at the exhibition.

According to Sambit Mohapatra, head of TIS in the UK: "Firms such as the Royal Mail and British Airways are recognising not only TIS's experience and expertise in developing custom built e-learning programmes but also our emphasis on quality, flexibility and responsiveness to client needs. Some of our clients - in both the corporate and education sectors - have appointed TIS as their creative and strategic learning partners by having TIS employees seconded to their organisations to advise on e-learning programmes.

"Our success is based on the 'partnership approach' we take with our clients - fostering a long term relationship where both parties invest in each other.

"Our clients tell us that, with our adherence to quality standards such as ISO 9001, the SEI CMM and SEI P-CMM, as well as Six Sigma techniques, they see us as a 'reduced investment risk'. In other words, they are more than happy to entrust us with developing the e-learning materials that are going to provide their staff with the 'added value' that gives them the competitive edge they need to be increasingly successful," he explained.
