Unisys has opened a new outsourcing and software
development centre in Shanghai, as part of a move to hire an extra
1,000 staff in China over the next three years.
The Shanghai centre will provide software development, IT and
business process outsourcing services, technical help desk
services, and technology support and maintenance services.
Cal Killen, Unisys global sourcing vice president, said, "Now
more than ever, Unisys clients require global sourcing options to
further their business strategies, manage costs and optimise their
return on IT and services investments."
In addition to providing global sourcing support, the
multi-purpose Shanghai facility will serve as the company’s Open
Source centre of excellence, where Unisys will develop and deploy
an open source software environment.
Unisys’ existing China operations already include offices in
Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
