Dalian software industry gets new power

Dalian Presoft Co Ltd, intended to boost the booming software industry of Dalian, a coastal city in Northeast China's Liaoning Province, was formally launched Friday.

"The new company is dedicated to being a bridge between Japanese customers and Chinese service providers in the IT sector," said Presoft president Li Yuanming.

In this role, Presoft will focus on IT services and training for its Japanese and Chinese partners, Li said.

"With a staff of more than 540 people, we are confident that we can double our output value every year for the next three years. It is expected to be 70 million yuan ($10 million) this year, and reach $50 million by 2010," Li said.

Li was one of the founders of Dalian-based Hisoft Technology International Ltd, now one of China's top three global IT service providers.

Li resigned from his position as president of Hisoft, which focuses on Japan to America IT trade, and immediately began work on a company bridging Japan and China.

Presoft took shape with support from Hisoft and JBCC Holdings Inc, a Japan-based IT company, which has cooperated with Hisoft since 1998.

"We have worked together well over the past 10 years. So we are pleased to join hands with Mr Li to facilitate the communication between Japanese and Chinese companies," said JBCC president Kazuyoshi Ishiguro.

"I believe, under the leadership of Li, as one of the pioneers of China's software industry, Presoft will develop into a new industry champion," said Xia Deren, Mayor of Dalian, at the ceremony.

Last year, Dalian announced its plan to become a champion for the global software and outsourcing industry. In 2007, its sales revenue and the export volume were 21.5 billion yuan and 720 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 48 percent and 60 percent respectively.
