WirTek has entered into a frame agreement with TTPCom. WirTek will provide software development services for the ongoing development of TTPCom’s AJAR application platform for mobile devices.
It is not only WirTek’s strong competence in telecommunications and mobile telephones that is relevant for TTPCom-but WirTek’s flexible, customer oriented working model, which combines in-sourcing and outsourcing, has also been crucial. The special possibility of outsourcing to Romania, while not sacrificing proximity to suppliers, is an essential factor in the choice of WirTek as a collaborative partner.
“The fact that WirTek can offer outsourcing projects to their Romanian subsidiary at a competitive price, while at the same time they can coordinate the development of these projects from their Danish division makes WirTek a very interesting collaborative partner,” explains Morten Iversen, Director for TTPCom’s Danish division. “In this way, we can make sure that changes and follow ups can occur day to day, which contributes to reducing development time and risks often associated with complex development projects,” continues Morten Iversen.
“TTPCom is an extremely interesting customer for us,” explains Michael Aaen, Administrative Director for WirTek. “While operating within our core business area, mobile telecommunications, TTPCom is also one of the top SW platform manufacturers on the customer list. We expect a long and fruitful working relationship with TTPCom,” concludes Michael Aaen.
