Citadon Signs with NTI CADcenter A/S as new Scandinavian Marketing Partner
Citadon, a provider of integrated Web-based collaboration, document management and business process management solutions, and NTI CADcenter A/S of Denmark, a supplier of computer-aided design solutions, have signed a new sales agreement that will allow NTI CADcenter to market Citadon's Web collaboration technology throughout Scandinavia. NTI will be working with Citadon's integration partner, Novo Nordisk Engineering (NNE A/S), one of Scandinavia's leading engineering consulting firms, which will provide services and support for solutions based on Citadon's Web collaboration technology.
This new relationship with NTI will help Citadon reach new European customers who can take advantage of its online collaboration services. Citadon's online collaboration, document management, and business process management platforms are ideally suited for construction, oil and gas, retail, and life science companies-any environment where parties need to share critical data and manage workflow to improve process efficiencies, reduce cost of production, and shorten time to project completion or bringing a product to market.
"Citadon has already proven its value to European customers, especially in pharmaceutical manufacturing and the life sciences," said Jesper Kalko, President of NTI. "We see a huge market opportunity for online collaboration for construction and design projects. We are delighted to be working with both Citadon and NNE to expand the current market for Web-based collaboration tools."
"The European document collaboration market is growing much faster than the U.S. market," said Mike Brooksbank, Citadon's vice president and managing director for Europe, Middle East and Africa. "As the largest supplier of CAD solutions in Scandinavia, NTI is the ideal partner to help us establish a stronger presence in this rapidly expanding market."
Working with its integration partner NNE, Citadon has already demonstrated the value of its collaboration solutions to the Scandinavian market. Using Citadon's Collaboration WorkplaceT (CW) to facilitate collaboration for design and construction, NNE recently completed building a new pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in 14 ½ months, less than the half of the 36 months it had previously taken to build a new plant. NNE has been able to build reusable project collaboration modules to divide larger construction projects into smaller segments that can be expedited as required. NNE predicts that with Citadon's collaboration tools, the company plans to further reduce construction time from 36 months to 12 months.
"Being able to quickly build new manufacturing facilities to fast-track new life science solutions is a crucial competitive advantage for NNE. Citadon CW has proven to be the ideal tool to help us collaborate with our partners and bring new pharmaceutical products to market faster than ever before," said Bo Memhave, CIO of NNE. "By creating reusable processes, we can build collaboration solutions on demand, and Citadon CW's easy-to-use Windows interface makes it easy to bring in new partners with little or no training. We are pleased to be working with NTE and Citadon to bring this solution to more Scandinavian customers."
With an experience of more than 50 years as supplier and producer of drawing tables and sketching tools, NTI decided 20 years ago to expand the existing concept into CAD solutions. The aim is to deliver solutions and services, that covers all needs for CAD solutions anywhere in a company-from software, hardware, network, training, maintenances to support and consultancy.
