Technia recruits to meet client's needs
The PLM-industry is facing a whole set of new trends in 2007 one of them being that an increasing number of companies are requesting comprehensive PLM-solutions that also cover services such as support and maintenance.
In 2006 Technia grew with 30 people, bringing in a wide range of people, from system engineers to java developers, tailored to the customers' needs. The demand has continued to grow and going into 2007 Technia has increased focus on recruiting the right people to meet the customers' needs. Following the demand in new services Technia plans to recruit another 30 people in 2007.
More and more customers request a total solution where the supplier can contribute and offer assistance from the initial idea to final implementation and support. Our aim is to be the total PLM-supplier in the Nordics to whom companies can turn to for an entire PLM solution. As a part of that offer, nothing is more important than working with the right people, bringing our customers the best possible competence and assistance, says Bo Löwstedt, Director Employee Success at Technia.
