„We are currently drawing up plans on how we'll centralize our back office operations. (…) Based on our previously done analysis, I know that Lithuania, just as Poland, is a very promising place in terms of back office services. We are discussing it with local executives but we have not made any decisions yet on moving functions from Finland," YIT CEO Kari Kauniskangas told the daily.
The service center could be opened in Vilnius or Kaunas, and if not Lithuania is chosen, then the other choice would be Poland, he said.
