Ardin Software Marketing Managers and ICT professionals Ms. Hamalainen and Mr. Holopainen spent one week (21-24, Nov) in St. Petersburg working intensively with ScG companies. Most of meeting participants were management from Russian members of Scandinavian Group (ScG) and from Ukraine and Belarus.
The main discussion topics were how to create a true marketing channel for Russian software services and solutions in Scandinavia, define the position of IT and Telecom services offered by the ScG and to market them in the most efficient way in Scandinavia.
Coming back to Helsinki, Ms. Hamalainen and Mr. Holopainen who have long experience in ICT area summarized the visit:
"It looks like that the IT and Telecom market demand in Finland and the services provided by ScG have not found each others yet. The ground work is already done by Ardin Software in Finland. This gives a very good opportunity to ScG members to get access to Scandinavian ICT market, find customers and learn more about the market situation.
We were impressed about the capabilities the Scandinavian Group companies have. There is unrevealed potential in these companies for ICT projects, outsourcing and for solving advanced cases, also.
As one contact point to several opportunities in CIS countries, we at Ardin Software can give added-value service to companies who are looking for a solution in IT or in Telecom projects. The Finnish Marketing Managers and Consultants are locally present in Finland to meet Finnish and other Scandinavian customers. We help the customer to make a right solution and find right services from ScG member companies. Negotiations and the contract can be done in Finland. We believe that now it is the time to connect the market demand and possibilities to go further together in efficient way."
