COMPTEL ACCELERATES ITS CUSTOMER AND PARTNER INTIMATE BUSINESS MODEL AND STARTS STATUTORY COOPERATION NEGOTIATIONS IN FINLAND

Comptel’s growth strategy is based on providing OSS solutions and expertise to customers and partners. Success in the chosen strategy requires having experts working closer to the customers to ensure continuous interaction. The company will accelerate its business transformation in European and MEA business units by having more resources nearer to its key customers and partners in certain growth markets.

Comptel has today convened a meeting for statutory cooperation negotiations to address the potential personnel impacts in Finland due to restructuring of the European and MEA business units. It is estimated that the maximum reduction need is 30 persons. The negotiation process is expected to be completed during February 2011. Due to the investments in the other markets the total Group headcount is not expected to decrease.
