iSoftStone Holdings Limited ("iSoftStone," NYSE: ISS), a leading China-based IT services provider, today announced that it will establish a sales and delivery center in the city of Chengdu in western China.

iSoftStone was attracted to Chengdu for the Company's new IT center by the relatively low cost of operations in the region, the ample supply of high-quality IT professionals, favorable government policies, and good infrastructure. The new center will incorporate iSoftStone's global outsourcing delivery model and training platforms to provide high-quality services at cost-effective prices for its clients in both China and other countries around the world. The new center will also provide a base for sales and business development in western China.
