Contribyte Provides Top-Quality Software Competence
Vaisala is a leading global provider of environmental, industrial, and weather measurement solutions. Of the sales of the international company, 98% are exported annually. Contribyte was selected as the partner for the software competence development of the 80-year-old company. According to Liisa Ã…ström, the product development manager at Vaisala, Contribyte understood the product developers exceptionally well.
Vaisala needed software competence development, and they were looking for someone to assist them with it. At Vaisala, they heard of Contribyte from another business unit that already had experience of the company in question.
“Quite soon we started to trust Contribyte and realized that they are programming professionals and product development experts. They were able to get on the same wavelength as us,” Ã…ström recalls.
Another matter that made Ã…ström and Vaisala happy was that the schedule for the development project was strict and there was a drive to get the innovations developed quickly. According to Ã…ström, Contribyte was able to rise to the challenge well.
“We also got our very own resource for one of the projects, meaning that one person from Contribyte came here for two days a week to establish practices that we could then adopt by ourselves,” says Ã…ström.
Strong Competence Enabled Operation Across a Wide Spectrum
What was particularly good about the collaboration with Contribyte was that the company was able to operate on a large scale inside the Vaisala organization. Contribyte”™s strong experience in software design and product development made an impression on Vaisala.
According to Ã…ström, along with the project, Vaisala was provided with very tangible improvements which will affect future products in that they will be particularly well designed and produced and they will be launched on time. Ã…ström can also see Vaisala collaborating with Contribyte in the future.
“Our experiences of working with Contribyte are good. If we were faced with a similar situation again, we would definitely contact them,” Ã…ström concludes.
