TRIA IT-solutions AG seals an agreement with the leading next generation application outsourcing provider, Exigen Services. With more than 1700 developers, Exigen Services is one of the premier IT-service providers and focuses on the outsourcing of application development and maintenance. The company has several sophisticated development centres in Central and Eastern Europe.

“With this partnership, we have excellent access to nearshore alternatives enabling us to accomplish complex projects more efficiently and on favorable terms for our customers”, according to Thomas Lerner. He continued that “this is the main advantage partnering with TRIA.”

“We seek to expand our position in the German market place and we have been looking for a company that, with its nearshore and offshore development competencies, complements our range of services here on site”, said Armin Roth, Country Manager of Western Europe for Exigen Services. “TRIA has proven its expertise in hundreds of projects for the top 50 companies in Germany. This makes TRIA an ideal partner.”

Both companies have similar portfolios in application development (.NET, Sharepoint, Java/J2EE) as well as in BI, BPM and SOA solutions. The Exigen Services Agile Readiness Assessment Package complements the development methods used by TRIA. The pack utilizes Best Practices as established during the completion of more than 100 projects by Exigen Services.

The methods and tools used by Exigen Services – in particular Agile – help to avoid costly development detours. “Design-change-request-surge” during the course of changing framework conditions is a well-known problem for outsourcing projects. It is common in dynamic and adaptive business processes as adjustments are made to better fit customer requirements.

Both partners possess similar business know-how for the financial services (banks, insurances and traders), health care and telecommunications sectors, so that BPM/SOA projects, in particular, are able to benefit from a growth spurt.
