Elektrim and Microsoft join forces on Internet projects
Telecom and energy conglomerate Elektrim and American software giant Microsoft announced on Friday that they had signed a letter of intent on Nov. 14 to work together on Internet projects.
Elektrim said it will use Microsoft's application service provider (ASP) software which provides computer-software applications over the Internet in Poland.com, an online portal featuring news about information technology and international affairs. Elektrim purchased 55% of Poland.com in September.
The two companies also said they would exchange information about new products and technologies and forge a common marketing strategy, although no further details were provided.
Thomas Kolaja, director of Elektrim Online, the company's Internet branch, said the agreement was "a first vote of confidence from Microsoft" regarding the development of the Internet in Poland and Elektrim Online's projects.
