Diebold has announced plans to move about 200 information technology jobs to India.

The Beacon Journal reports a portion of the moves will impact employees at Diebold's Green headquarters.

Diebold officials say the decision to move the jobs was based on making better use of software expertise in India and expanding the company.

The exact number of local jobs that will be cut are still unknown.

Around 80 employees currently work in Hyderabad, India.
