STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 4, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Sigma has signed a cooperation agreement with Volvo IT covering consulting services in the IT field. The agreement provides Sigma the potential to substantially increase the number of assignments for Volvo IT.
"This represents a highly favorable rating for Sigma that we have now been selected as a cooperation supplier to Volvo IT. It is an important agreement, with great potential for an increased volume of assignments," said Gote Berntsson, Business Area Manager at Sigma.
As a result of the agreement, Sigma is one of about five cooperation suppliers that combined will ensure the availability of 75% of Volvo IT's requirements for approximately 600 consultants. In cooperation with its sister companies Teleca and Epsilon, Sigma will be considered for all consultant requests for Volvo IT in Sweden. The companies' total delivery capacity and geographic coverage, access to leading-edge expertise within certain areas as well as its history as an important supplier to other companies in the Volvo Group were considered in selecting Sigma as a supplier.
The goal is to establish a long-term cooperation and the agreement is for a period of two years initially. The central focus of Sigma's assignments will be within system development, but also includes consulting services in the areas of process analysis, methods, testing, system administration, project management and installation.
