CDC Global Services Plans To Expand Business Process Outsourcing Operations in India

      

CDC Global Services started its BPO operations late in the first quarter of 2009 with 50 seats at two offices located in Mumbai and Pune, India, where it was already operating its IT outsourcing operations. With this expansion, there is expected to be nearly 500 seats in two offices in Mumbai and three offices in Pune, India. With the addition of 10 new BPO contracts in the third quarter of 2009 and a robust sales pipeline, CDC Global Services intends to continue ramping up its resources and plans to have a total of more than 2,000 seats in its India BPO operations by the end of this year. CDC Global Services also plans future expansion in its BPO operations that may include China, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and other emerging geographic markets in Africa.

CDC Global Services offers IT outsourcing services in India and China that includes onsite and remote IT support/help desk, IT infrastructure planning, custom/offshore application development, network management and administration and application maintenance and support. Its new BPO business offers a wide range of services including back office financial and accounting support, HR and front office activities like outbound marketing and call center support. Other processes, which may be customized to meet a customer's specific needs, such as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and health-care related document retrieval, have also been successfully deployed. Current clients include enterprises from Asia/Pacific, the U.S., and Europe operating in industries such as Healthcare, Security, Telecom, Banking, Financial Services and Insurance.

"We are very pleased to announce the planned expansion of our BPO operations which indicates our confidence in the success we have seen in this business since its launch in the first quarter of 2009," said Rajan Vaz, managing director of CDC Global Services. "This planned expansion also reflects the increasing demand we are seeing from enterprises seeking BPO for flexibility, cost savings and the desire to focus on their core competencies on their business. In addition, we are finding growing success selling both our BPO and ITO services to CDC Software's customer base. Since CDC Software has more than 6,000 customers, we expect this cross-selling strategy to have a positive impact on our future sales."
