Press Release Summary = IBM will set up two new IT solution centers in China and
India, thereby, underscoring the growing importance of Asian countries as a center
of outsourcing activities.

Press Release Body = IBM – the largest computer services company in world
– plans to launch two new IT solution centers in China and India, underscoring
the growing importance of Asian countries as an outsourcing hub.

Each of these centers will employ about 500 developers, whose main focus will be to
create service-oriented architecture (SOA) for consumers across the globe (including
those in the US). SOA’s feature standard based software components allow easy
connectivity and reusability of various business applications & services. IBM
expects that SOA based services will reach US$ 160 Billion by the year 2008.
However, the company hasn’t declared how much investment it’s making in
these two facilities.

The proclamation marks the most recent steps in IBM’s plans for centralizing
software development activities in economical regions stuffed with talent. The
company’s operations in China are comparatively smaller than in India. IBM
service staff in China, currently, comprises 7,000 employees and above 40,000
employees in India. However, the company sees good growth in China.

This further exhibits the commitment of the company to Asian market where it’s
expanding its operations at full tilt. The new centers will likely be set up in
Beijing (China) and Pune (India).

As per a Research Analyst’s view at RNCOS, who has recently researched a
report on “Opportunities in Chinese Software Industry (2007)”, the
accelerated growth of the software in Indian and Chinese markets leads the US firms
to put their money in Asian software Industry. Thereby, creating further investment
demand in software in China.
