Apprise Software Inc., ERP and SCM solution provider, announced the opening of a new full-service center in Nanjing to provide its customers with 24 hour global support. With an eye on the China market, the new office will initially offer support, translation and quality assurance services but will allow the company to grow in China in the case demand exists for the solutions.

"The main reason for our expansion into China is to be closer to our customers," said Jeff Broadhurst, president of Apprise Software. "Our customers continue to increase their presence in China and move their product manufacturing and sourcing to Asia. Our expansion into China enables us to be where our customers are in order to serve them better, which in turn enables us to accelerate the growth of our business."

China Supply Chain Council reported that the new office will be officially opened on July 27, 2007, with a ribbon cutting by Jeff Broadhurst and Mr. Ni, a local Chinese official. Located in the Gulou District of Nanjing, China, at No. 40 Changjiang Science Building on Nanchang Road, the office is ideally situated near public transportation and is tightly linked with top ranked Nanjing University and several other top Nanjing Universities, making it an optimal location for securing and retaining local talent.
