Pi Technology and Jopasana Software in co-development pact

Jopasana Software & Systems, and UK-based Pi Technology have signed an agreement to jointly execute projects for Pi Technology customers. The two companies have agreed to an exclusive arrangement for business generation and execution in the domain of automotive electronics. This makes Jopasana the primary co-development partner for Pi Technology in India.

The relationship will add to Pi Technology’s product development and engineering service capabilities, and provide competitive value-added services to its customers. It will enable quicker turnaround and lower cost for end-customers.

“There is huge pressure throughout the automotive industry to deliver quality while driving down cost. By working closely with Jopasana we have been able to take a smart, high-value approach, and have already shown that we can reduce engineering costs for our customers while maintaining our reputation for the highest quality,” says Julian Styles, Head of Automotive at Pi.

“We are happy with this development as it comes at a time when the automotive electronics industry is looking up not only in Europe and the US, but also in India,” says Ajay Phatak, CEO and Managing Director, Jopasana. “The auto industry is facing the challenge of competitive development teams, and this relationship will suitably address that need.”

Adds Styles, “Pi Technology was clear about the kind of Indian partner we needed. Jopasana was a perfect fit and our working relationship has developed well.”

Chips in Mohan Chaubal, Head of the Embedded Systems division at Jopasana, “Strong technical capabilities and process maturity are important. But more important is how close our organisations are in ethos and culure. Both the companies are working to see this relationship grow substantially in the next 2-3 years.”
