Xerox Romania opens new center

“This business became interesting for us last year, when many clients of ours requested such services from us,” said Razvan Botezatu, Xerox global services manager for Romania and Moldova. The services target local and international clients. After it attains its certifications, the center is set to become one of the top four Xerox centers in Europe for corporate activity for 2008.
Investment in the new center will reach EUR 500,000 by the end of 2008, with the majority of the money to go on software applications, location, human resources and security. Most of the contracts have a strict confidentiality clause, so security represents about 15 percent of the total amount, Botezatu added.
The smaller Xerox Romania location also located in Bucharest functioned until September, when the new center became operational. The small site is now used as a back-up location. The scanning and archiving business generated about $1 million income in the first year of operations and company representatives expect this to grow.
The new center has a 10-times-larger capacity than its predecessor, processing up to two million pages per month, which could be expanded by 30 to 40 percent. The center will expand it staff of 20 to about 100 employees in the next two or three months.
