HP’s, vice president, applications services – Asia Pacific and Japan, Eric Clark, said today the proximity and the experience of the new centre to Asia Pacific organisations will help “reduce the risk and cost of completely offshoring work as part of their business strategy. “HP is a market leader in applications services and regional clients working with the Christchurch centre will benefit from similarities in time zones and language.” HP says its Best Shore network focuses on providing the skills and expertise clients need from locations around the world, using consistent business and technical processes.
