BT announced an update to its investment plan in India and the broader Asia
Pacific region at the opening
of
its New Delhi Technology showcase.
The new facility is part of BT‘songoing investment plan in Asia Pacific, aimed at delivering enhanced service
delivery capabilities as customers invest throughout the region. These
enhancements help multinational companies succeed in their business
opportunities in India and the rest of the region, and help Indian corporations
operate in other parts of the world.
BT announced it is
creating more than 60 new critical roles in India as part of the previously
announced Asia Pacific expansion plan. The new jobs will be in sales enablement, delivery and implementation of services
for customers.
India
is a critical component to BT’s success and vision and is a key location to a large number of
global companies. Many of our customers are expanding into India and we are
investing to extend our communications infrastructure and services to support
their growth,” said Kevin
Taylor, president, BT Global Services Asia Pacific.
We have a
long history of investment, a strong customer base and an excellent product and
solution offering in this country, the latest example of which may be seen in
the New Delhi showcase, bringing to life the opportunities offered by a
networked, converged world,” Taylor added.
The opening of BT’s
New Delhi showcase follows the launch of BT Showcases in Hong Kong in September
2010, Beijing in November 2010, Sydney in January 2011 and Singapore in March
2011. These showcases are networked with
BT’s showcase centres in London and New York – thus providing a truly global
experience.
The technology
showcases bring together the latest video conferencing equipment
and networked IT applications under one roof and enable customers to interact directly with innovative technologies and
services such as wide area network optimisation, next generation contact centres, unified
communications and IP telephony.
In May 2010, BT
announced a strategic investment plan to strengthen its business in the Asia
Pacific region. BT is recruiting up to 300 additional people in the key
customer markets of Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Singapore, in
order to build up its sales and professional services teams, bid and project
management, and service operations teams. It is also expanding the in-region
proposition portfolio.
