 "Patni Computer Systems Inaugurates Its Suzhou China Facility")
Patni Computer Systems has announced the opening of a new ITO delivery (development and support) centre in Suzhou, China. Situated in the Suzhou Software & Technology Park (SSTP), the state-of-the art 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 centre will focus on delivering development and support services to cater to Japanese, U.S, European and local multi-national corporations.
“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. The Chinese outsourcing market possesses immense potential, both from a delivery and customer standpoint, and we are geared up to capitalise on this opportunity,” said Jeya Kumar, CEO, Patni.
“We have seen a meteoric rise of China as a potent outsourcing destination owing to conducive factors such as cost and labour arbitrage, skilled workforce and robust infrastructure. 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,” said V. Mathivanan, President, Patni, APAC.
The centres will systematically build-up to full capacity, a majority of which will comprise local talent. For Patni, Suzhou has the advantage of being a cost-effective destination with good accessibility to tier 1 cities and a large and competent pool of talent adept in various computing skillsets.
