Symbio's China Software Development Centers Grow 500% in Three Years

Posted on: Tuesday, 14 February 2006, 09:00 CST

ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Symbio Group ("Symbio"), a provider of software development, testing, and globalization outsourcing services, today announced a 50% increase in capacity in its Beijing Development Center. This is the fifth major expansion of the Beijing Development Center, which has grown 500% over the last three years. Symbio will now be able to accommodate up to 1,400 staff between its Development Center in Beijing and project centers in Dailan, Shanghai and Wuhan.

This steady increase in capacity is due to continued strength in demand for professionally managed, flexibly scalable software development services in Mainland China. This latest expansion enhances Symbio's ability to complete large year-on-year projects for multinational clients including AOL, CA, IBM, and Microsoft. With over ten Offshore Development Centers (ODCs) dedicated to specific clients within our Beijing Development Center, and numerous on-going projects contracted directly from the U.S., Symbio is widely recognized as having the largest installed base of U.S. clients among the outsourcing companies in China.

"As companies move software development projects from India to China, Symbio is scaling up to meet the demand," said Jacob Hsu, COO, Symbio. "Our world-class workforce, including English-speaking engineers, PMP certified project managers, and globally distributed business support teams, combined with our web-based, real-time project management tools, streamline the outsourcing experience in China for U.S. and European companies. We are relentlessly focused on making the entire outsourcing experience for our clients easy, flexible, and secure."

Symbio currently has four full-scale software Development Centers spread across China, Taiwan and the U.S. These Development Centers are fully integrated, providing Symbio's clients with the ability to easily distribute project teams across two or more centers. This distributed project delivery model enables clients to build project teams with specialized skills, while enhancing the cost leverage and optimizing project delivery times. Symbio also maintains project centers in Silicon Valley, Tokyo and Washington D.C., to support clients with smaller scale projects and global program management.
