Filed in archive Outsourcing News on October 1, 2005

Imaging products company Epson is looking at India to become its outsourcing center for software development. The Japanese-based company plans to expand its products range and establish itself as a technology driven company.

According to Epson executive vice president and chief financial officer Toshio Kumura, India would be the primary choice for software development intended for electronic devices being developed for commercial purposes.

At present, the company works with Wipro, but may also partner with Infosys and TCS to develop future products. Products being developed include the flexible electrophoretic watch, radio frequency activated ID tags, super smart cards, finger print sensors and electronic paper.

In addition, Kumura shared the company's new tag line: 'exceed your vision'. The tagline repositions Epson as company that produces more than Xprinters.
