HP Enterprise Services announced that India has been designated as one of six Best Shore global delivery hubs to support rising client demand for lower-cost, scalable services.
The HP Best Shore expansion is part of the $1 billion investment HP announced in June to transform and grow its Enterprise Services business.  Other hub locations include Bulgaria, China, Costa Rica, Malaysia and the Philippines.

The Best Shore expansion plan for India as planned under the existing environment and other related factors includes the launch of three new facilities in Bangalore and Chennai.  In view of the planned expansion, HP expects to add close to 500,000 square feet of real-estate and hire additional talent in 2011.

HP Best Shore hubs are designed to improve the client experience by offering access to deep industry and technical expertise that can tailor sophisticated solutions to meet unique client requirements. Additionally, the hubs will help reduce delivery complexity by providing multiple services from a single location.

“To achieve their enterprise goals, clients need access to a collaborative environment with innovation across borders and organizations,” said Neelam Dhawan, HP Managing Director, India.  “The HP Best Shore hub in India leverages our local HP Labs to deliver some of the most innovative services to help clients effectively meet business needs.”
