16:59 GMT, November 5, 2009 Lystrup | The Lystrup companies GoApplicate and Terma have signed a long-term agreement to intensify the cooperation which has existed for many years.

GoApplicate is a close cooperation partner and sub-supplier to Terma. Deliveries include high-tech solutions for radar equipment; defense, support and test systems; and simulators.

At GoApplicate, we are proud to bring the cooperation with Terma to a new level, where assignments have international perspectives and thereby contribute considerably to the continued development of our competencies and distribution of our special lean approach to software development, says CEO Børge Witthøft, GoApplicate.

Terma places the same requirements upon our cooperation partners which our customers place on us. In particular, GoApplicate has demonstrated its willingness and ability to adapt to the specific requirements which must be observed as a supplier within the international defense industry. Combined with the company’s expertise, this is a key reason why we enter into this strategic partnership, says Vice President of Strategic Marketing Jørn Henrik Levy Rasmussen, Terma.

Close, long-term strategic partnerships with key suppliers will become even more important for Terma in the coming years. We have an international growth strategy which implies increased cooperation with cooperation partners and suppliers, who can contribute to Terma’s growth and development via their expertise, says Jørn Henrik Levy Rasmussen.

Geographically, GoApplicate and Terma are neighboring companies, and relations go several years back. Jess Kristensen, who established UniGate which later became GoApplicate, is a former Terma employee. This created the initial foundation for cooperation. Today, he is Strategic Director of GoApplicate, while the newly appointed CEO Børge Witthøft also has a Terma background - as Executive Vice President.
