UK tech vendor Misys has opened a centre of excellence in Beijing, the sixth such facility it has worldwide.
The new centre will allow the company to design and develop solutions to address local market requirements and service its expanding client base in China and the Asia Pacific region. Misys has over half its employees in Asia, serving nearly 400 customers in the region and 1,300 customers globally, including the world’s top 50 banks.
Mike Lawrie, CEO, says: “We have been a committed partner to China’s rapidly growing financial services sector for nearly two decades, working alongside all the leading players. The opening of our new centre of excellence in Beijing is extremely exciting as it reinforces our long-standing commitment to R&D and means that we can take our local investment and market knowledge to serve Chinese and international banks more effectively in the country.”
Recent new clients in China include Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Shin Han Bank, Harbin Bank, China Bond Insurance Company, Chinese Mercantile Bank and Ning Bo Bank.
