Business integration specialist webMethods is cranking up its expansion into China with an ambitious software development venture in Shanghai with BearingPoint, formerly KPMG Consulting.

The two Virginia-based firms last month announced an agreement to widen their alliance and pursue joint software applications development work in the mainland.

That work will be done at BearingPoint's four-storey, 45,000-square foot Global Development Centre, in the Zhang Jiang Software Park in Shanghai's Pudong district.

Financial terms have not been provided, but officials at webMethods described the manpower and financial investment from both partners as 'significant'.

'We believe this joint effort will help webMethods jump-start its business in the China market,' webMethods Asia-Pacific vice-president Maruf Majed said.

The company supplies enterprises with so-called integration middleware, technology used to glue together an organisation's legacy business processes and computing systems with newer, more efficient Internet-based programs.
