GM to open IT centers in 4 sites across U.S.

9/8/2012

DETROIT — General Motors Co., which is shifting computer technology functions into the company from outside firms, plans to open four information technology centers in the United States, each with a staff of at least 500.

It’s all part of a move to bring 90 percent of GM’s information technology from outside companies in-house, which GM believes will make the company more nimble and efficient.

The first of the centers is open in Austin with a handful of staff. Hiring will increase as GM finds the right workers, the company said Friday.
