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 cooperate 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 whereas 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 thus helps its customers to develop a product first and then bring it to market in Russia and Ukraine. Knowing both markets and its strong position there makes the company predestined for this task.
Ciklum analyzes specified markets by the customer, ensures knowledge transfer, organizes conferences, trade fairs and exhibitions, and stands by 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 growth markets of the world. Two hundred million people with a European background and the increasingly stabilizing democratic conditions give optimistic predictions regarding the economic cooperation with both countries.
