Collaboration models (1)

• Custom-made software (separate projects)– Medium-to-large Latvian IT companies ready to provide price estimates and discuss technical capacities

• Continuous service (outsourcing, regular batch-work)– Integration of Latvian partner possible and not resource-

consuming– Detailed cooperation agreement still suggested

• Joint applications– E.g.,technologically challenging international or state-level

projects - a big challange for IT companies

22

Page 23: Rinalds Celmiņš Deputy Executive Director Latvian IT Cluster

Collaboration models (2)

• Consumer market is open for new products• Localization is not an issue, in case partnering with a

local company • B2B market very diverse, companies with modern

management & IT systems• ERP and CRM already offered widely
