HCL increases activities in Moncton-Vilnius
HCL Technologies has opened a Global Delivery Center (GDC) in Moncton, New Brunswick (Canada) and two new technology delivery centers in Vilnius, capital city of Lithuania.
HCL will draw on its 10-year track record of success in Canada to assist tech companies as they continue to grow in the digital age.
With its first office opening in Toronto in 2009, HCL partnered with one of Canada’s largest railway companies. From there, HCL has worked with Fortune 500 and G2000 Canadian customers to develop frameworks, technologies, and processes that will help businesses succeed through phases of growth and transformation.
HCL has partnered with Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB) in the planning and development of this growth.
Opportunities New Brunswick provided guidance and resources for the GDC and future employees.
Staffing will include a combination of relocating skilled workers and local hiring, said HCL on 24 Dec 2019, as it anticipates the number of employees to grow to 300 over the next three years.
HCL has also re-affirmed its commitment to innovation and growth in Lithuania with the opening of two new technology delivery centers in Vilnius.
The state-of-the-art Asgaard Keys and Technopolis Alfa sites provide leading-edge technology and digital transformation capabilities and services to HCL clients in the Baltic, Nordic and Benelux regions.
HCL’s strategic investments were honored by senior Lithuanian government dignitaries during a grand inauguration ceremony at the Asgaard Keys delivery center in Vilnius on 16 Dec 2019.
According to Simonas Kėpšta, Chief Adviser to the President on Economic and Social Policy, companies creating innovation and high added value are making a significant contribution to the development of the digital economy and socially responsible business culture in Lithuania.
“Financial technology and service companies have already become the cause of pride in Lithuania, so we are pleased and appreciate the investments made by international companies such as HCL in our country”, said S. Kėpšta.
“This is a win-win for New Brunswick,” said Mary Wilson, Minister of Economic Development and Small Business and Minister responsible for Opportunities New Brunswick on HCL’s expansion in Canada.
“Population growth and economic development depend on each other. We need new jobs and new people to prosper and grow. HCL is bringing skilled newcomers and creating jobs for our New Brunswick-based graduates, both of which will help to strengthen our workforce and energize the private sector. Our Province welcomes HCL, their incredible team, and this exciting new growth,” said Wilson. fiinews.com
