May 10 (SeeNews) - Experian Bulgaria, a unit of Irish-based global IT services provider Experian, said it has invested over $4 million (3.5 million euro) in relocation to a new office under a five-year lease, aiming to improve its operational performance.
"Experian Bulgaria will definitely continue its growth, but our main focus is the quality of our operations - we strive to achieve a very high level of professionalism by investing in the development of our existing employees," Peter Bankov, executive director of Experian Bulgaria, told SeeNews on Thursday after the opening ceremony at the new office in Sofia.
The new office, spreading on an area of 11,600 sq. m., is located in the Space Tower building close to Sofia Airport. Some 1000 employees of Experian Bulgaria are already working there.

More than 20% of Experian's analytical capacity is based in its Bulgarian office.
Experian provides analytical services and risk management solutions. It entered Bulgaria in 2004 and opened a research and development centre in Sofia in 2008. The company has offices in 37 countries and employs more than 16,000 people.
