China-Based Camelot Information Systems Opens U.S. Headquarters in Austin.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Camelot Information Systems, LLC, a Chinese-based IT services company, has opened its United States headquarters in Austin, Texas through a partnership with Bridge360, an Austin-headquartered internationalization company. Executives from the company were in Austin to celebrate the opening, May 21-23.

Bridge360 facilitated the legal and business processes for Camelot to set up a U.S. base, which is a mirror image of what Camelot is doing for Bridge360 in Beijing.

"We believe it is not just a one-way path to China," said Bridge360 CEO Brenda Hall. "The bridge runs in both directions. Our partnership is a perfect fit. Not only are we augmenters of each other's services -- internationalization/globalization and IT infrastructure -- together, we bring a 360-degree view of the world for our clients."

Simon Ma, CEO of Camelot China concurs, "I am very excited to have a partner like Bridge360. The partnership strengthens our front end in the United States to serve our U.S. customers better. Bridge360 and Camelot share many similarities. We have the same beliefs, we have similar ways of taking care of our customers, and the key executives of both companies share a similar background. It is not often that you find a partner that fits so well culturally while complementing each other's strengths."

Camelot provides information technology and application services to clients in China and abroad. Headquartered in Beijing, Camelot has six additional branches throughout China and recently expanded to Japan and Taiwan. With more than 1,300 employees, Camelot is China's largest ERP SAP provider.

With a strong customer base already established with U.S.-based clients such as P&G, Bayer, BearingPoint, Accenture, IBM, HP, Shell Oil Company, GM, EDS and Kimberly-Clark, Camelot will focus its growth efforts in the United States over the next few years.

Camelot is one of the first Chinese companies to focus on the U.S. market for outsourcing services. The Camelot service offering in the U.S. will include: Outsourcing Services Management, Marketing Services Management and Local Support Services Management.

"The United States is obviously one of the most important markets for IT outsourcing. Camelot is committed to invest and nurture this market for the long term," said Ma.
