 "IBM to create 700 jobs in France")
Technology giant IBM has said that a new IT service centre in the northern French town of Lille would create 700 new jobs in the next five years.
IBM France said on its website that the new centre is expected to allow for the immediate recruitment of about 200 workers with backgrounds in computer science, engineering, mathematics and science, Xinhua reported.
The new centre aims at offering services for digital business development by providing local clients with high value application development, application maintenance and systems integration services "to address the increasing demand for flexible software capability to harness the benefits of emerging big data, cloud and mobile business technologies," it said.
