He said that Europe is the most advanced equipment manufacturing center in the world with huge demands for embedded software development & services, such as mobile phones, cars, control systems, medical equipment, etc. However, as the global financial crisis has brought more and more European MNCs under the double pressure of cost efficiency and innovation, outsourcing will be one of their important strategies to acquire future competitiveness. In the coming couple of years, Neusoft will, just as it has done in the Japanese market over the past decade and more, strive to exploit European and U.S. markets. Especially, against today's worldwide financial crisis, Neusoft will play a much more active role to develop international markets for more opportunities.
It is reported that Neusoft has also restructured the executive team of its American company. Walter Fang, who had been working with IBM for 27 years and has more than 30 years of IT industry experience and rich management skills, was named V.P. and President of Neusoft America. Dr. Liu said that these overseas enhancement moves have clearly indicated Neusoft's confidence and determination to become part of the international markets as a global growth company.
