In April 2005, computer manufacturer Hewlett-Packard (HP) announced the creation of over 1,000 jobs by opening a financial services centre in Poznań (Wielkopolskie) or Wrocław (Dolnośląskie). As of June 2008, the centre is based in Wrocław and employs 1,200 people. HP plans to create another 800 new jobs by the end of 2012. The jobs are mainly for accountants, business analysts and economists. The initial investment exceeds $50 million for a five-year period. The centre provides financial services in the field of accountancy, staff management, processing of orders and purchases.
