New Delhi, Aug. 5

HCL America, a wholly owned subsidiary of HCL Technologies Ltd, on Tuesday announced its plans to open a US delivery centre in Wake County, North Carolina.

The company would invest $3.2 million and hire over 500 employees over the next five years, benefiting also from a State Job Development Investment Grant awarded to the company.

HCL selected North Carolina due to the State’s skilled workforce, strong educational network and proximity to its US customer base.

The delivery centre would provide application development and maintenance, IT infrastructure management, English and Spanish Help Desk support, storage design and architecture services, SAP services, engineering services, and other consulting services for US customers. The facility is scheduled to open this year , a company release said here.

Earlier this month, HCL Technologies announced in its annual earnings that the US geography continues to grow consistently, reporting sales of over $300 million during the last quarter. In addition, more than $1 billion in transformational outsourcing deals were signed during the year, with the majority of those deals originating in the US.

The opening of the US centre is part of HCL’s global delivery strategy to offer customers support from various locations across the world. HCL currently operates delivery centres in India, China, Poland and Ireland.
