Cybernet-SlashSupport (CSS), the company providing tech support, software testing and development and remote infrastructure management (RIM) services, has opened a new IT Services facility in Chennai.

The facility is located on a leased 2-acre infrastructure at MEPZ, near Tambaram, Chennai.

CSS, which employs around 5,000 professionals, also has an offshore facility in Coimbatore. The company has two facilities in the U. S., a near shore facility in Poland and a redundancy centre in Singapore.

In June, 2008, the company had also started a new offshore NOC (Network Operating Center) in Chennai.

The new facility, which has been set up with an investment of US$ 4 million, expected to become operational from September, 2008.

The current expansion in the MEPZ is part of the company's ongoing strategic plan to have facilities across the city that will ease problems of employees commuting to work.

Last week, the company announced its expansion into the Middle East market.
