CSC says that it will open a new information technology (IT) services delivery centre in Tianjin, China, to better serve existing multinational and local customers and increase CSC's presence in the region.
CSC announces new China outsourcing delivery centre
The new centre, which will be located in the Tianjin Airport Industrial Park at 3 Crown Square, 55 Central Ave., will open in early spring 2009. It will initially house approximately 200 employees. The company anticipates that number will grow to 500 within three years. CSC will begin delivering services from a temporary location in the same area starting around now.
The company also plans to construct a data centre facility in or near Tianjin to address global demand for technology hosting and managed services within the region. The company says that the efficient and cost-effective modular design will allow it to meet customer needs for several years and grow in 200-square-meter increments as required. Construction of the data center is scheduled for completion in mid-2010.
The Tianjin centre expands CSC's World Sourcing global delivery capability in Asia and joins an integrated network of more than 50 global delivery centres, including locations in Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, India, Lithuania, Malaysia, Spain and Vietnam.
Services offered from the new facility include applications development and maintenance and service desk. Languages supported by the service desk include Mandarin, English, Korean and Japanese. Once the data centre is complete, CSC will also offer both applications and data hosting.
