Logic Sourcing Welcomes Two New Team Members

Logic adds a 3rd office in China
Logic Solutions continues to expand its footprint in China with the addition of a new software development center in Nanjing. The addition of this office gives Logic greater access to high quality low cost development talent as well as greater flexibility to meet the on-going software and application development needs of its customers.

New High Speed Internet Connection to China
As more and more companies add offices in China or conduct business with customers and suppliers in China, the need for high speed connectivity is rapidly growing.

Logic Solutions plans to add a new high speed data pipe between China and the US to increase network speeds to and from our offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Ann Arbor. This enhanced network will not only increase productivity and speed, but allow our teams to send large files back and forth with ease.

Logic is offering the use of this high speed connection to its customers as a service. To take advantage of a high speed connection to China, contact us for more information.

Jimmy Hsiao Gives Global Market Seminar in Taipei, Taiwan Symposium promoted and moderated by the financial magazine Today.

Jimmy Hsiao, Logic Solution’s CEO, was a key speaker at the Taiwanese Automotive Suppliers Conference on December 7. The talk, “How to Work in a Global Market,” was delivered entirely in Chinese.

Highlights of the presentation include:
	The pressure for U.S. automotive suppliers to reduce costs is an opportunity for Taiwan auto parts and components factories.
	Business barriers to global sourcing for both international auto manufacturers and Taiwan suppliers include the physical distance to the client, cultural differences, the lack of long-term relationships, fast changes in procurement, and the difficulty of knowing who is the decision-maker.
	To overcome these barriers, suppliers in Taiwan need to engage in “relationship investment” to attract and keep U. S. business. Strategies suggested are to supervise supply chain quality and to set up US offices.
	Taiwan suppliers may enter U.S. market by using agencies, consultants, partnerships, or acquiring and purchasing U. S. auto parts and components factories.
	Other strategies to open the sales channel to U.S. market are partnering with U.S. companies, joint ventures to create new companies, or creating joint venture factories in Asia

The symposium was co-sponsored by the following organizations in Taiwan:
	Bureau of Foreign Trade Ministry of Economic Affairs
	Corporate Synergy Development (CSD) – non-profit organization to promote supply chain management in Taiwan’s automotive
	Automotive Testing and Research Center (ARTC)

Logic Sourcing is in the process of assisting a number of Asian suppliers to develop a business strategy and footprint in North America. For information on how to access and leverage Logic's community of suppliers please contact us or email at info@logicsolutions.com.
