About 200 Novell Inc. workers in Provo will lose their jobs this week as the company moves most of the positions to India.
The Massachusetts-based technology company will have 1,200 employees in Provo after the positions are moved.
The company has about 4,600 workers, and the Utah actions are part of 250 jobs being moved off-shore, according to Kevan Barney, a Novell spokesman in Provo. Most of the affected workers are involved in software development.
"All year, we've been talking about this restructuring and also talking this year about our focus on three primary areas to increase efficiency," he said. "One of those was product development, and a key element of product development is the balancing of on-shore and off-shore resources. And that's what this week is about as far as what's affecting Provo right now, that on-shore/off-shore balance."
The company also has development centers in Germany and other parts of Europe.
