Ericsson inaugurates Global Service Delivery Center in Lebanon
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has opened a new Global Service Delivery Center (GSDC) in Beirut, Lebanon, to better service Ericsson's regional and global customers.
Last week's inauguration, the culmination of six months work, was attended by various officials from the Lebanese telecommunication sector.
Having experienced experts based in Lebanon will strengthen Ericsson's position as a provider of telecom services in the region, as well as support the evolution and growth of the local telecom market.
Beirut is seen as the perfect site for the GSDC due to its strategic location and cultural affinities across the Middle East and Africa. Lebanon also has 17 universities producing highly skilled, multilingual professionals who are willing to work globally, and has a good investment climate.

This region has strong potential in the services area and we now have the possibility to be closer to our customers and provide state-of-the art services faster and in a more localized fashion."
