The vice president, Europe and Asia Pacific of OneSource, Paul Brown, said that the Hong Kong office is primarily a sales and support operation responsible for growing OneSource's business and servicing clients in the region. It also oversees business activities in the mainland market and serves as a base for expanding the company's business network in this part of the world.

He said: "We see Hong Kong as the right place to establish our Greater China base. It is our mission to provide the best business intelligence for decision makers in a competitive business environment. We benefit from Hong Kong's strategic location, allowing us to easily contact and meet our current and potential clients across the region. Moreover, the high concentration of regional offices set up by multinational corporations and the large variety of business activities here provide prospects for our company."

"The free flow of information in the city is also crucial for business intelligence companies like us. And more importantly, Hong Kong provides a natural base for our entry into the mainland market with its proximity and enormous experience of doing business with mainland enterprises."

Invest Hong Kong's director-general of investment promotion, Mike Rowse, said the opening of OneSource in Hong Kong has once again shown that "Hong Kong is the preferred location for world-class business services providers to operate in the region."

OneSource is a subsidiary of the NASDAQ-listed infoUSA. In addition to the headquarters in Massachusetts, U.S. and the new Hong Kong office, OneSource also has offices in London, Sydney and Singapore. The company helps clients to increase productivity and effectiveness by distilling, combining and organising business information, including industry profiles, executive biographies, business press coverage and financial data from over 2,500 information sources.
