Enterprise application software company SAP has recently opened its Nearshore Delivery Center in Romania, that will offer services to clients on Western and Central European markets. SAP plans to hire 100 consultants in Romania each year for the SAP Consulting division until 2014. SAP's structure in Romania will also include two more offices in Timisoara and Cluj – Napoca.

The nearshore center in Romania and the upcoming one in Portugal will be SAP's first units of this kind, working with clients in various areas of Europe.

“Nearshore centers significantly contribute to supplying services with lower total costs, while improving the quality, speed and scalability,” said Franck Cohen, president of SAP EMEA.

With revenues of EUR 12.5 billion for the year 2010, SAP has more than 54,000 employees and sales and development locations in more than 50 countries worldwide.
