TietoEnator opens BEA competence center in Denmark

TietoEnator and BEA Systems open a competence center in Denmark. The cooperation on the competence center will give the Danish customers highclass counseling regarding application infrastructures in Denmark.

In the BEA competence center the customers can get expert guidance concerning specific solutions, experiences and market trends within software infrastructure. The certified experts in the competence center can give the Danish companies an insight in BEA’s product portfolio and opportunities and can, based on their own experiences, advice on specific problems and possible solutions.

”We have decided to formalize the existing partnership even further by establishing a competence center in Denmark. Combining our knowledge gives us a superior expertise on software infrastructure in Denmark”, says Ole Berg Nielsen, Country Manager, TietoEnator in Denmark.

”Our experience from other countries shows that the customers will demand competence centers, where they can be sure to find the best word of advice. Companies can’t afford to invest in the wrong infrastructures and with the competence center they can be sure they get a professional and specific counseling”, ads Jørn Bo Jacobsen, Managing Director, BEA Systems in Denmark.
