Patni inaugurates its Suzhou China facility

IT and BPO services-provider Patni Computer Systems today announced the opening of a new ITO delivery (development and support) center in Suzhou, China.

Situated in the Suzhou Software & Technology Park (SSTP), the facility with a planned capacity of 500 seats is Patni's first centre in China.

Patni's new Suzhou delivery centre is set to serve the Yangtze region-—the largest and one of the most highly- developed manufacturing bases for international companies, a press release issued here stated.

The centre will focus on delivering development and support services to cater to Japanese, the US, European and local multi-national corporations.

Commenting on the development, Patni's CEO Jeya Kumar said: "The launch of our new Suzhou centre is in line with our corporate strategy to focus on regional markets and adopt a truly global delivery model, to yield higher talent efficiencies."

 

Patni's APAC President V Mathivanan said, "We have seen a meteoric rise of China as a potent outsourcing destination owing to conducive factors such as cost and labour arbitrage.

"We look to address the changing customer dynamics of global outsourcing through a strong local presence and service customers from North America, Europe and APAC for development and support projects."

The centre will systematically build-up to full capacity, a majority of which will comprise local talent.
