Unisys is launching a new technology and sourcing center in Shanghai as part of its continuing expansion in the Chinese telecom market.
About 1,000 Chinese workers will be hired at the center, which will provide an array of services such as software development, help desk and business-process outsourcing.
"The Shanghai center will serve our clients well by providing them with an offshore cost advantage that is fully integrated into Unisys global solutions, technology expertise and service delivery infrastructure," said Unisys's general manager in China, David Fu.
The Shanghai facility will also develop open-source software aimed at improving technical efficiency.
