The center offers outsourcing solutions related to i.a. transaction services in finacial and accounting sectors, managing purchase of goods and services as well as operations of HR and payment departments.

For the location of the center, Hewlett-Packard has picked an office building in the city center – GTC University Business Park. Several dozen of employees have been hired already, but the recruitment process is still going on. The basic requirement for potential candidates is having higher education and being fluent in foreign languages.

Close cooperation and help from city authorities proved to be equally important in making this decision – admits Danila Meirlaen, Vice President of Business Services Department at Hewlett-Packard.
