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

Jeya Kumar, CEO, Patni 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. The Chinese outsourcing market possesses immense potential, both from a delivery and customer standpoint, and we are geared up to capitalize on this opportunity.”

“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,” added V.

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