JAKARTA (JP): Logica, an international computer consultancy,
system integration and software company, will open a new office
in Jakarta and intends to hire more than 30 people by July this
year, the company said Saturday.

The company's regional managing director Peter van Es said
that Indonesia represented a substantial market in South Asia for
Logica.

He said that Logica planned to consolidate its position in the
energy and utilities sector by offering technical expertise and
professional project management skills.

"Indonesia has a rapidly expanding oil and gas industry which
will soon be demanding many of the skills and services which
Logica can provide," he added.

Founded in 1969, Logica has a staff of 5,500 people in 22
countries worldwide and has completed 15,000 projects in more
than 60 countries.

government, defense and transport.

booked pretax profits of US$46.6 million on a turnover of US$562
million. (gis)
