Swedish Company - Eurostep wins Logica’s Global Innovation Venture Partner Programme 2010
Logica announced Eurostep, a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) collaboration company headquartered in Sweden, as this year’s winner of the Global Innovation Venture Partner (GIVP) Programme. Eurostep won the award for their Share-A-space® product which enables networks of organizations to effectively share information from disparate systems and platforms, enabling them to collaborate across domains and organisation borders. Collaboration partners can follow their internal processes and IT systems while connecting to other networks. This is the second consecutive year that a Swedish company has won the global award - last year’s winner was Appear Networks also from Sweden.
Share-A-space® provides a standards based collaboration hub that, minimises start up efforts and enables companies to collaboratively work on consistent change management, quality control and analysis of product data throughout a product’s lifecycle. Share-A-space® also provides a high level of security in the collaboration hub. With this, organizations that compete in the market can collaborate on joint projects, sharing only data that is relevant for the collaboration while protecting their respective IPR.
The GIVP Programme was run across nine countries – UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Netherlands, Portugal, USA and India. The programme is part of Logica’s client intimacy strategy that revolves around collaborative innovation and partnership for the benefit of clients. All winners will get the opportunity to partner Logica in a country specific go to market strategy but Logica will work with Eurostep on a global strategy that will touch key markets and clients primarily across Europe.
Delighted with the win, Håkan Kårdén, CEO, Eurostep, said, “It is indeed an honour to be this year’s winner. Today's product development and innovation performance is a complex and continuous process in which networks of suppliers and knowledge teams interact and share information. The same needs exist throughout the complete life cycle of products including the need to link closer to the end user’s business. This win clearly reiterates the importance of our solution in today’s business environment. With this award, we will be able to leverage Logica’s technology and business acumen as well as marketing reach. We really look forward to building a long term and mutually beneficial partnership.”
Congratulating Eurostep on their achievement, GBS Bindra, Global Innovation Director, Logica, said, “Eurostep’s product addresses the information management challenge that clients face today. They have a product that is both innovative and collaborative in nature. At Logica we have always believed that we are part of an ecosystem and the only way we can bring real benefit to our clients is by leveraging the strength of partners and technologies. By working together with Eurostep, we will be able to offer clients an improved service and solution that would not have been possible otherwise.”
