Sigma, a Swedish IT consultancy firm, announced a business expansion and the hiring of 400 employees in 2011. The company is benefiting from a strong market demand for IT consulting services as major companies like Ericsson and AstraZeneca have outsourced their IT departments. Sigma had revenues of 1.2 billion SEK 2010 and aims to enhance growth with 100 million SEK in the upcoming year.
