“We need to retain the talent coming out of our educational institutions. To achieve this, it is critical that we have enough work to keep them here, and this centre provides one such opportunity. The potential impact of a centre like this on the local economy is very significant.”

HP says its Christchurch centre offers applications development and management services focused on Java/J2EE, Microsoft .Net, testing and legacy systems, and the company says it continues to invest heavily in developing these skills locally and that plans are currently underway to enhance the centre’s SAP and Oracle capabilities.

According to HP’s Eric Clark, the HP Christchurch centre is part of a broader plan to expand the company’s applications services in New Zealand, and he says HP is also in the process of establishing a specialist government applications centre in Wellington to work closely with its public sector clients, particularly in the areas of transformation and modernisation.

Clark says the Christchurch centre joins HP delivery centres across China, India, Philippines, Egypt, Poland, Slovakia, Argentina, Brazil and Costa Rica.
