WUHAN: Electronic Data Systems Corp (EDS), the world's second-largest technology service provider, opened a global service center in China yesterday, to tap the nation's talent pool and its burgeoning outsourcing market.

"China is a key strategic market for EDS going forward," said Kevin Bonfield, vice-president of EDS's business workforce and capacity management division. "Being a cost-effective outsourcing destination, the nation's outsourcing marketing is also growing rapidly."

The center, located in Wuhan, capital of Central China's Hubei Province, will employ 700 people by the end of the year and EDS plans to invest tens of millions of dollars to ramp up the facility later as its business grows.

EDS expects the Wuhan center, its fourth globally, to provide applications, business process outsourcing and information technology (IT) infrastructure services to its clients in 64 countries, the company said at the Wuhan International Summit on the Development and Cooperation of China's Service Outsourcing Industry, held yesterday.
