Ericsson Sets Up New Global Service Delivery Center in Romania
Ericsson has announced a new Global Service Delivery Center is to be opened in Bucharest, Romania, in July 2007. The new center will initially employ about 200 people and will serve regional and global customers.
Ericsson's Global Services business is growing, leading to the establishment of the new Global Service Delivery Center (GSDC) in Bucharest. The services business depends on people and the business growth is increasing the need for resources.
Initially, the center will employ 200 engineers, most of whom will be young Romanian engineers.
Fredrik T. Strand, Vice President and Head of Service Delivery at Business Unit Global Services, says: "The increase in the services business and the new needs we are seeing within, for example, managed operations in IT management, application development and support areas are the main reasons for opening a new GSDC in Bucharest."
Ericsson's services organization today employs about 24,000 professionals worldwide. About 6500 of these employees work in GSDCs. The region also includes a center in Italy, with about 550 employees."
