BT accelerates growth programme across Asia Pacific

BT has announced the roll-out of the first phase of its recently publicised investment programme into the Asia Pacific region, covering additional resourcing, new infrastructure and expanded portfolio of services. As part of this plan, BT is in the process of hiring around 300 new positions across Asia. This will ensure that key portfolio and services enjoyed by BT's customers around the world can be offered and fully supported in Asia Pacific. BT is also establishing a bid response centre in Singapore to enhance its capabilities to pursue large regional managed services deals, an area where we lead the market today in many parts of the world.

The expansion of the in-region proposition portfolio will allow BT to provide enhanced service delivery capabilities as customers invest throughout Asia Pacific, a region that is playing an increasingly pivotal role in the decisions of global multinational corporations. Approximately 80% of BT's largest customers by company turnover are expanding in Asia. By recruiting additional staff and increasing capabilities.
