The companies IULIUS and Atterbury Europe earned the award for “Best office development for the BPO/SSC sector in tier 1&2” at the Romanian Outsourcing & Shared Services Awards 2018 gala in Bucharest last week. The award was presented for the two office buildings that were opened last year in the Openville Timişoara mixed-use project: United Business Center 1 and United Business Center 2. The award recognizes the best office development in tier 2&3 that offers healthy, enjoyable and productive places to work.

The companies present here include Ness Digital Engineering, Veoneer, ACI Worlwide, Intel, Convergys, Flex România, Azets, and Bitdefender.
The Romanian Outsourcing & Shared Services Awards gala, now in its fourth edition, is organized by Outsourcing Today, the integrated communication platform of the business services sector, and by The Diplomat Bucharest magazine. The event recognizes, rewards, and celebrates the success of the most prominent companies in the outsourcing (BPO, ITO and SSC) industry in Romania.
