STOCKHOLM, March 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DigitalRoute today announced a new partnership agreement with Capgemini France, a subsidiary of the Capgemini Group, to launch a new MediationZone(R) Factory based in Rennes, France. The new center of excellence will speed and secure upcoming projects by providing industrialized support to pre-build components and also the key competence that is required for a complete set of implementation services.

The establishment of the MediationZone Factory is a result of the current strong demand for MediationZone based solutions and services. Service providers need to capitalize on the trend of increasing data usage in the networks while flexibility and configurability continues to be important for time-to-market for new services. The resulting growth of data traffic forces service providers to consolidate mediation and data integration platforms in order to cut costs.

"This agreement reaffirms our commitment to strong partnerships with systems integrators and product vendors and further strengthens the position of MediationZone of becoming the most widely adopted mediation technology in the market," said Jan Karlsson, CEO of DigitalRoute.

"The proven experience of mediation projects combined with the wealth of skills and expertise on development and integration is the primary rationale for us to work with Capgemini," he adds.
