Perfect World, a Chinese developer of online games, has chosen to house its essential IT infrastructure in the AMS 5 data centre in Amsterdam, hosted by the TelecityGroup.

Gateway to Europe
Perfect World is a market leader in China’s online gaming market. Its most popular titles include Perfect World, Battle of the Immortals, Legend of Martial Arts and Zhu Xian. After a successful entry into the US market, the games publisher has also decided to further strengthen its European market position from its new data centre base in Amsterdam. The company’s European headquarters is also located in Amsterdam.

The decision to expand their presence here is a reflection of their ongoing success. As Eduard Iacoboaia, Engineering Manager at Perfect World, notes in a press statement: “Low latency and network uptime are essential requirements for successful online gaming environments. The combination of data centre quality and network environment drove our decision to migrate our operation to TelecityGroup's very newest data centre in Amsterdam, AMS 5. This new data centre will enable Perfect World to continue to deliver an outstanding gaming experience to gamers in all parts of Europe."

Gaming hotspot
The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area is a hotspot for companies active in the gaming industry. In the triangle formed by Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam, a conservative estimate puts the number of companies actively involved in the production of virtual games – both directly or indirectly – at more than 100. Together they have a total annual turnover amounting to more than one billion euros. This makes the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area a focal point for European games technology.

International gaming and multimedia companies can very easily access the entire European market from this region. The Netherlands is often used as a test market for new games or innovative digital media concepts, before companies roll out their releases and products across Europe. With the bonus of a highly talented, multicultural population and its exceptional digital frameworks, the Amsterdam Area forms a true gaming gateway.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
