Tangentia acquires Cycloides

Tangentia, a leading global digital transformation company, headquartered in Canada and with a presence in Goa in India, has recently signed an agreement for the acquisition of Cycloides Technologies in Kerala and Cycloides Inc Canada.
Bringing Cycloides into the Tangentia fold nearly doubles the team strength of Tangentia to enable new ideas to flourish while gaining new capabilities for off-shore product development and client delivery centers, a press release said here on Thursday.

Vijay Thomas, CEO of Tangentia says “We are committed to investing and expanding to multiple states in India to truly have a pan-India presence to not only support our global customer base but to also support our ever-growing base of customers in India. In addition to the newly combined team strength, Tangentia is planning to generate over 100 new career opportunities globally.”

Cycloides is the first Kerala-based IT company to have a contract with BMW Canada, Tune Protect (Air Asia subsidiary), Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), and many others. Cycloides created HCA’s world’s first Mobile Heartbeat development center and has also won other strategic contracts with H&R Block, CTS and Hitachi.
Through its local presence in Canada, India and USA, Tangentia has been able to provide its customers with a “Think Global, Act Local” delivery model.
Tangentia now boasts of 1000+ customers worldwide which include 13 Fortune 500 customers in 30+ countries. Tangentia proprietary platforms like Tangentia Gateway and TiA(Tangentia Intelligent Automation) manage transactions worth more than USD 10 Billion worldwide every year, which include processing B2B transactions for India’s largest retailer, the largest appliance manufacturer in the world and the largest beverage alcohol distributor in the world.The merger comes with the promise of a better tomorrow for all the stakeholders.

“Our merger with Tangentia is a fantastic match of an entrepreneurial mindset and complementary skill sets. With this acquisition, the employees, clients and partners of Cycloides will be part of a bigger network of operations and can access world-leading Tangentia solutions around Robotic Process Automation, Artificial Intelligence and B2B,” says Anil A R, former CEO of Cycloides and SVP, Strategic growth at Tangentia.

The company's presence across India has opened up job opportunities for aspiring candidates, who want to transform and contribute to the ever-changing dynamics of technology.This again isn't only restricted to Kerala or Goa or India but the whole world, further expanding and strengthening ties between India and Canada through employment.

This year, Tangentia is on a mission to ‘Take the Paper out of Paperwork’, which is strongly highlighted in their latest #PaperOutOfPaperwork brand campaign urging businesses to do away with tedious paper processes and switch to automation to foster business growth.

The pandemic has forced organizations to go digital which is quickly becoming the new normal. Against this backdrop, #PaperOutOfPaperwork strives to educate businesses about the use of automation in business operations such as saving time, money and resources, while increasing productivity and growth all by reducing the use of paper processes.

Tangentia’s acquisition of Cycloides will accelerate the mission to automate, innovate and make an impact.

Lockdown inspired conversation : Business Goa’s take on Tangentia Talkies

  • In the headlines

    Lockdown inspired conversation
    Business Goa's take on Tangentia Talkies

The closure of non-essential businesses and physical distancing mandates across the globe from COVID-19 has revealed an important challenge for organizations needing to quickly adopt a remote worker strategy. Over the course of a month businesses have had to quickly mobilize their in-office workforce with the tools they needed to work from home, while maintaining security and compliance. As leaders and internal teams were busy focusing on the “how” we also needed to pay close attention to our most critical asset – the people.

Here is Business Goa's take on our latest employee initiative called
“Tangentia Talkies”

COVID-19: here’s what’s happening at Tangentia

  • COVID-19: here's what's happening at Tangentia

Coronavirus (COVID-19)—it’s everywhere in the media and some of us might have already experienced it at close quarters. Similar to other companies, it’s impacting Tangentia, too.

We’re embracing this change of pace for the unique opportunities it’s providing. Our employees are adapting to the remote work lifestyle, with our Toronto employees saving an average of two hours on their daily commutes. We’re also encouraging our team to spend more time with their families, take up new hobbies, or join online courses. Overall, we are coming to a full week of ‘working from home’ (WFH – is our internal term for this), and there had been nothing but good reviews from our employees. We are beginning to wonder, why did we all not think of this earlier?

Business Continuity is the buzzword today. But for us to ensure that it is successful, a lot has to happen in the background. With our 150+ employees in Canada, USA and India who are working from home during the pandemic, we had to ensure that our phone systems remain accessible to all our clients securely from their homes, their laptops are securely connected to our network, and their accesses to our systems are well-governed and highly secured. White listing IP addresses of employees in our firewalls and our client firewalls was proactively initiated a little while ago, but we also had to make sure that the employees had global static IP’s on their internet as otherwise, the firewalls would not let them in. Suffice to say, a lot had to happen for us to successfully roll out our Business Continuity Plans around the COVID-19 pandemic. I am proud of our global teams’ seamless execution of our Business Continuity Plans that seem to be proven by this anecdote: We had a client who made an unplanned visit to our office, assuming that the people he was speaking to over the phone were in, when there was actually no one in the office as everybody had been instructed to work from home for health and safety concerns around COVID-19.

We at Tangentia had already embraced video conferencing, web conferencing and remote troubleshooting for a while now, and believe it or not, we even have some customers whom we have never met in person due to geographical distance. We have customers that have been using Tangentia B2B services such as Tangentia Gateway EDI platform for nearly 17 years, and have only interacted with them on the phone or seen them via Google Hangouts screen. We have hundreds of such customers globally, and we thank them for their trust. Our clients can continue to expect the same high-quality and rapid delivery cycle that our company is so well known for.

With the evolution of Tangentia over the last 17 years to an Agile Digital Transformation company and with establishing of the Tangentia Automation, Tangentia B2B and Tangentia Digital business units, we see the sudden pivot to remote work as a tremendous opportunity available to companies throughout the world.

As you know, Automation is in our blood even before the onset of Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Robotic Process Automation(RPA). We are undoubtedly leaders in implementation of RPA solutions in Canada and India, and we are working with strategic partners like Automation Anywhere, IBM, Blueprism, UI Path, and others to ensure that the solution and platforms that we offer, allow our customers to not just surmount the challenges of COVID-19, but to strengthen their businesses to become more resilient to such challenges in the future, and provide them with a sustainable global competitive advantage.

Our goal is to empower our clients through a business continuity-first approach. Whether that’s through AI, RPA or EDI solutions, or in other ways — we understand the importance of ensuring that your everyday operations are running smoothly. With the Tangentia teams and solutions, you can rely upon enterprise-grade, fully resilient solutions and support. Once we ensure that business continuity is maintained, we will enable your business with RPA, B2B and Digital technologies. These will not just increase the resilience and agility of your business, but will ensure that when the dark cloud of COVID-19 and the recessionary trends lift, your business will be able to sprint forward with a lower cost structure and responsive systems and processes to leverage the new growth opportunities.

While the world we work in may be uncertain right now, I am confident that this will also pass and we will all be looking at growing our businesses in a short while from now.

In closing, to all our existing clients and potential new customers globally, the entire Tangentia team is here to support you with any questions or concerns that you may have. Don’t hesitate to contact me personally.

Stay safe & healthy everyone, and let’s take care of ourselves and each other.

Best wishes,

Vijay Thomas
CEO, Tangentia

P.S. – I drove by the office yesterday and I must confess that we did miss assigning a task in our WFH strategy and that was watering the office plants. I took care of it and have put it on our list of things to do going forward 🙂

Tangentia participates in Vibrant Goa delegation to Israel

  • Tangentia participates in Vibrant Goa delegation to Israel

“It was a wonderful experience representing Goa and Goan Business in Israel. Right off the bat, Goa was very well recognized by Israeli business people as multiple generations of Israeli's have been coming to Goa as tourists and the fact that they could do business in Goa brought a smile to their faces. Representing Tangentia which is a technology company, it was initially difficult building a business proposition for the Israeli technology companies to partner with us but after a few conversations, it was evident that there is a huge opportunity for Israeli companies looking at the Indian market to partner with companies based out of Goa and using that partnership to springboard into the Indian market.”

“There is a lot of trust built over the decades between Israel and Goa and with direct flights starting up in September between Tel Aviv and Goa, it will be a huge catalyst to business. Our delegation was successful in convincing multiple major Israeli organizations in the Innovation, Startup and Medical fields to participate in Vibrant Goa and we look forward to meeting them in Goa in October.”

“It was my first visit to Israel and I will confidently say that it will not be the last one. I would like to thank Vibrant Goa for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful delegation and the Government of Goa to have sent Mr. Joshua Dsouza as an official representative on the delegation. Slowly but surely, we are confident that Goa will be on the mind of Israeli businesses when they think of India.”

Human to Superhuman Automation Event

It's easy to understand, right? Even when explained “what is automation?” by Afaq Qazi, an automation specialist. I tried my best to ignore the thoughts, telling me, “I already know this stuff”. It's easy to tune out when you think you know. The challenge is that maybe I'm wrong. Keeping an open mind, I listened to what Afaq had to say.

The speed of technological change is forcing people to reevaluate what they know about automation. Of course automation is a hot topic and for good reason. It is controversial. It can be good or bad depending on where you sit. As an employee, automation can induce fear in even the most talented workers. Take the GM closures as an example. More automation combined with declining sales means many people will soon be out of work. Knowledge workers are also not without risk of being replaced by automation. As a business owner, automation is required to compete.

I listened to Afaq speak with passion about the work he is doing. This doesn't come across from a website. Ideas about Robotic Process Automation(RPA), Business Process Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain were discussed with the enthusiam of a child in a toy store. I've read about these ideas and watched videos about them on Youtube, but never before spoke with and expert about them. This experience is the same one you will recieve when you attend our Human to Superhuman Event. Connecting your business to the right automation solution is where the real magic happens and it always starts with education and a conversation.

Tangentia made the 2018 GROWTH 500 list with five-year revenue growth of 586%. This is the 6th year in a row that Tangentia has been recognized by GROWTH 500. “It is never easy to earn a spot on the GROWTH 500, but this year’s applicant pool was the most competitive yet,” says Deborah Aarts, GROWTH 500 program manager. “This year’s winners demonstrate the resilience, innovation and sheer management smarts it takes to build a thriving business today. Canada—and the world—needs more entrepreneurial success stories like these.”

“Tangentia is honored to be on the GROWTH 500 ranking and we are really proud to be on this list for the last 6 years” says Managing Partner Vijay Thomas”. “This achievement reflects the consistently high growth rate that Tangentia has been able to achieve over the last almost 15 years of our existence since we started in Toronto in 2003. This also speaks to the vibrant Canadian economy and ease of doing business in Toronto. We have been able to grow globally with additional offices in USA and India but our roots will always be Canadian and we will always cherish this recognition.”
