According to the agreement, CompServis acts as Teamware’s representative in Lithuania. This co-operation also includes technical and sales training as well as marketing support from Teamware, for example in arranging exhibitions and seminars.

Lithuania’s IT market is a strong growth area for companies like Teamware. For example, the Internet is developing extremely fast. CompServis’ experience of the IT market, which extends back almost a decade, and the mutual understanding of the Internet business were important criteria for Teamware when choosing a partner in Lithuania.

"CompServis is a strongly growing company, and it has a good understanding of the local market", says Anu Peltola, Sales Manager at Teamware. "All IT systems and solutions are transferring into the Internet, and this is something CompServis has understood well. We believe that our joint future lies particularly in Internet solutions."

CompServis has an important role in providing technical and sales resources and they are familiar with the local market. The objective of joint marketing programs is to locate new customers for Teamware’s products and services.

"This partnership opens beneficial business opportunities because the interest for collaboration and Internet integration products in our market is very high", says Richardas Pivoriunas, CompServis’ Vice Director. "For a long time the Lithuanian IT market was not very advanced. Now the market is ready for solutions provided by Teamware, and we are enthusiastic about bringing Teamware’s state-of-the-art products and solutions into Lithuania."
