Bitwise will start operations in Oulu in September 2014. Initially, the unit’s main task is to support Bitwise’s existing project needs. Bitwise is a well-known actor in a challenging project environment - "150 successful projects, and none of them failed", says the CEO Tomi Mikkonen, "our success is based on world-class experts, who are carrying the responsibility."

During 2015, the Oulu unit will be developed in selected technology areas to take overall responsibility for the business. "We wanted to open a branch in northern Finland, close to important customers. It's great that we have these professionals, Marko Kallovaara and Janne Räsänen with us to ensure a fast start and get their experience in business development for our use", says CCO Juhani Kallio Bitwise Oy.

Friends from Oulu, running a different product business, find co-operation to be a great opportunity for client companies in Oulu. "Besides products, the partnership now provides for our customers and partners a strong project know-how, while extending the Bitwise operations to other parts of Scandinavia," describes Kallovaara.

Growth will be one of the main objectives for Bitwise in the near future - to reach that target Oulu unit plays a key role. "It is a pleasure to be involved in supporting this goal. I can see that Bitwise’s productized project delivery model also has a significant global potential", says Räsänen.

"Bitwise Oy is a welcome addition to the Oulu business world and fits in well with strong expertise and contact network of the company field", says Juha Ala-Mursula Business Oulu.

This is a good start!
