Advent Software, Inc., a provider of software and services for the global investment management industry, announced further expansion into the Asia Pacific region with the opening of a new office in Beijing. Staffed with more than 50 employees, the Beijing office is Advents largest office outside of North America and will play an important role in establishing the Companys presence in mainland China.
The 50-plus employees in the Beijing office were previously part of Advents contract workforce with a Beijing software outsourcing firm, and have been working on the research and development of Advents portfolio of products for the past four years.
“We are excited to be expanding our presence in Asia Pacific, and we look forward to deepening our relationships with clients in the region,” says Lily Chang, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Advent. “Having a presence in China is part of our growth strategy and is a must for a global company like Advent. The fast-growing China market is rapidly embracing new technology and we see enormous long-term potential in the Chinese market for our broad and innovative portfolio of investment solutions. As an industry leader with a proven history of success, Advent is well-prepared to support this growth.”
