Cybercom and Scalado enter partnership on image applications in mobile phones
Cybercom signed partnership and framework agreements with Scalado, the global leader in mobile image processing technology. The agreements extend over two years and are estimated to generate revenues of SEK 20 million.
“This is a very important part of our inorganic growth strategy,” says Håkan Persson, Scalado’s CEO. “By partnering with Cybercom, we gain access to a larger global delivery organisation.”
Cybercom is a leading IT consultancy company when it comes to developing mobile services.
“This partnership agreement with Scalado reinforces our position,” says Patrik Boman, Cybercom’s CEO. “Scalado contributes its world-leading image processing technology, and we contribute our global marketing and supplier organisation. Scalado and Cybercom sell each other.”
Scalado will use Cybercom as a subcontractor for application development and advanced consulting services, while Scalado will benefit from Cybercom’s global marketing and sales organisation and off shore capabilities in for example China.
“Now we never have to say no to customers,” says Fadi Abbas, one of Scalado’s founders.
Cybercom and Scalado believe that this will generate considerable revenue. The agreement is estimated to be worth about SEK 20 million for Cybercom alone.
“Through the partnership, we’ll establish a delivery situation with many of Scalado’s customers who we expect will also generate additional sales in the form of other solutions that Cybercom can offer,” says Mattias Johansson, business manager at Cybercom.
Scalado leads development of image processing for camera phones in more than 500 million devices.
