Achievo Builds Innovative Software Engineering Center in China for Networking Giant NETGEAR
SAN RAMON, Calif. - June 19, 2006- Achievo® Corporation, the leading global software and information technology outsourcing provider with a local front-end and China back-end service model, today announced the grand opening of its new Beijing location, which includes an innovative software engineering center for networking giant NETGEAR. This strategic milestone represents the first time NETGEAR has moved part of its development process to China. The milestone was observed with a press conference in Beijing featuring presentations by Achievo and NETGEAR executives, and local government officials.
"NETGEAR is an excellent example of the kind of global business Achievo is bringing to Beijing," said Dr. Robert P. Lee, Achievo's chairman and CEO." "Achievo is helping the China outsourcing industry expand globally. With development centers in six cities in China and 12 locations worldwide, Achievo is the largest and only U.S. outsourcing company doing business of this scale globally in China. "
"Growing our business means more employment and therefore a better economy in Beijing. Achievo has developed processes to get U.S. outsourcing customers up and running quickly in China. The NETGEAR software engineering center is the next level milestone in the outsourcing partnership between our two companies."
"Achievo has a well established track record for helping customers recruit and manage highly skilled software and IT talents in China," said Chuck Olson, senior vice president of engineering for NETGEAR." As an innovation leader of networking products, NETGEAR has extremely high standards for engineering talent. Achievo is the best way we're found to provide the highly skilled software talents we need for China, and to do it quickly and capably, based on in-depth knowledge of our needs. Moreover, the high degree of trust between the management teams of both companies had a lot to do with our decision to set up a software engineering center in the Achievo Beijing office."
