Munich, Germany – March 22, 2010 – Ciklum, the European leader in IT outsourcing for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), has expanded its business focus: apart from assisting in product development Ciklum now also supports its customers in the distribution of their software in Ukraine and Russia. Two success stories recently...
Excel Data and Ciklum: two leaders hand in hand
Excel Data, one of the first customers of Ciklum, offers innovative Business Intelligence (BI) solutions for midsize companies. The company’s InfoSuite-Package used to be only available for the IBM i Power Platform AS/400. Thanks to the cooperation with Ciklum it can now be installed on all major platforms and databases, a benefit that will soon be enjoyed by customers from Ukraine and Russia.
"This is truly a win-win situation," says Alfred Lage, Partner and Shareholder of Excel Data AG.
Webforum and Ciklum: communication solutions for two emerging markets
Webforum Europe and Ciklum have cooperated in product development since 2006. While Webforum operates in Stockholm (headquarters), the development is done in Kiev. Consequently, over the years the company got to learn the Ukrainian market and the opportunities that exist within it.
On the 21st of January 2010 the companies signed an agreement whereby Ciklum assists in the distribution of the online Webforum services (communications solutions for projects using the Internet) in the Russian and Ukrainian markets.
Promote sales: Ciklum's strong position in Russia and Ukraine
Ciklum therefore helps its customers to develop their products first and then take it to market in Russia and Ukraine. Knowing both markets and its strong position makes the company predestined for this task.
Ciklum analyzes specified markets for the customer, ensures knowledge transfer, organizes conferences, trade fairs and exhibitions, and assists during contract negotiations. The collaboration is designed for customers to be extremely flexible: three partnership models are offered, by analogy, there are three billing models.
Both regions, Russia and Ukraine, are among the foremost growth markets in the world. Two hundred million people with a European background and the increasingly stabilizing democratic conditions lean towards optimistic predictions regarding the economic cooperation within both countries.
