Rule Financial Expands Delivery Capability With New Development Centre in Poznan to Meet Growing Demand From Global Banks

LONDON, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Rule Financial, an independent provider of business consultancy, IT consultancy and IT services to the global investment banking community, today announces further expansion in Poland, with the opening of a new development centre in Poznań.

In response to increasing client demand for complex systems development and integration, with a combination of onshore and nearshore delivery services, Rule Financial has committed to building a development centre within the iconic 'Okrąglak' building in Poznań, with the intention to grow the Poznań team to over 400 members of staff.

The recruitment drive in Poland continues at Rule Financial locations in both Łódź and Poznań, with strong Technical Leads, Java, .Net (WPF) and HTML5 / Javascript developers being particularly sought after. In addition, building on the success of its global graduate programme, Rule Financial in Poland continues to expand the programme with local universities to provide key opportunities for new graduates.

Commenting on the drive behind the new expansion in Poznań, Chris Potts, CEO of Rule Financial, said; "Our investment banking clients continue to be impressed with the quality of the services we deliver from Poland and, as a result, they have trusted us with a number of new large business-critical projects, contributing to our excellent sales performance in the last 6 months. This has led to significant growth in our business in Poland, which in turn means that we are now able to offer scalable, high-quality delivery capabilities for specialist areas of investment banking, providing the operational efficiency and flexibility that is so crucial for our clients".

Piotr Kania, Country Manager for Rule Financial in Poland said: "Rule Financial has a long and successful history of operating from Łódź, and we recognised the need to be able to scale our operation even further as demand for resources continues to grow. Opening a new centre in Poznań provides us with access to a whole new pool of talented individuals that we hope will seek to join us to develop their careers in IT, combined with experience of working with the leading global investment banks and other financial institutions".

Rule Financial is a leading provider of IT services for global financial institutions; both the Łódź and Poznań offices design, create and support complex IT systems for global investment banks and other financial institutions.
