Nanjing branch will work in close collaboration with our other global delivery teams in Chengdu, Beijing, Europe, and the US as well as create partnerships with local actors. The new China site will reinforce our position as one of the globally leading software R&D services players in Telecom, connectivity and networking technologies in Europe,” says Harri Salomaa, Executive Vice President, Head of Product Development Services at Tietoevry.
