LAS VEGAS, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bally Gaming and Systems, a business unit of Alliance Gaming Corp. , announced today plans to expand its engineering operations by opening a wholly owned offshore development center in India to improve the speed and quality of product enhancement deliverables and customer service levels.
The new Bally development center will be located in Chennai, a growing technology hub of India. Chennai has emerged as a popular offshore choice as Bangalore, India's "silicon plateau," has become saturated in terms of infrastructure and availability of resources. The new center is scheduled to open in October 2005 and grow to approximately 50 people within the first few months of operation. This new offshore team is expected to augment end-to-end design and development initiatives currently taking place in Bally's U.S.- and European-based development centers.
