 “We are very pleased and excited to open an office in China to service this very important market.” said Tom Mochal, President, TenStep, Inc. “China is experiencing a tremendous growth stage, which translated into a huge number of projects in every aspect of the economy. Formal project management and business process skills are becoming more and more important every day.

We can now support this important marketplace with both Chinese and English language products and services.”
