Partnership with Intellias allowed the client to extend the range of web design services, thus assisting the company in generating additional revenue and strengthening its market position in web development segment.

Sequentially, Intellias applied nearshore dedicated development model for Belgium-based software services company, developing custom software solutions for Europe’s largest media and publishing enterprises as well as for the Belgium’s largest ISP.

• The first telecom provider in Switzerland, whose services rely on a non-proprietary SIP platform, has chosen Intellias to set up a dedicated team for development of robust billing system and other telco projects based on J2EE platform. The choice was predetermined by specific technological and domain know-how, already existing at Intellias. Another decisive factor was process maturity and ability to safeguard required team stability.
