The shared service and outsourcing industry in Chengdu has grown rapidly over the recent two years thanks to its large talent pool and competitive operation costs, and is becoming a leading offshore destination for business processes. Chengdu has 42 colleges and universities, more than 100,000 new graduates enter the job market each year. "The total amount of employees has reached 1,800 since Maersk established its shared service center in our Park in October 2009," said Victor Jansson, the Deputy General Manager of Chengdu Tianfu Software Park.

"Following the examples of Maersk, Manulife, Siemens, Cisco and GE who located here this year, the number of enterprises and employees has doubled in the last 18 months. Over 150 companies employing more than 20,000 people currently operate in our park," Victor stated. "We are still expanding to meet the growing demand. The total planned construction area of our park is 2.2 million sqm, with 790,000 sqm already operational."

"Chengdu is the most cost effective destination in China," Global Services concluded.
