Information technology solutions provider Mphasis announced on Tuesday the setting up of new centres in Mexico, Costa Rica and Taiwan, where it would create about 800 jobs in six months.

Mphasis Limited is an IT services company based in Bangalore, India. The company provides infrastructure technology and applications outsourcing services, as well as architecture guidance, application development and integration, and application management services. It serves financial services, telecom, logistics, and technology industries.

As part of a "large global deal" in the hi-tech industry, the new centres will accommodate over 800 people that will serve existing clients, the Bengaluru-headquartered company specialising in cloud and cognitive services said in a statement.

The services offered out of these centres would be large-scale operations in the areas of application development, support, testing, operations, and financial analysis, it said.

"These centres will provide Mphasis with the ability to offer nearshore services to other strategic customers both in the aforementioned areas as well as in additional functional areas," the statement added.
