The company estimates that the lay off program will save zł.22 million annually, liquidation of two branches will bring about zł.8 million in savings, while sponsoring will be limited by zł.10 million. Taking into account other plans to limit costs, the company will save a total of around zł.80 million. Ryszard Krauze, president of Prokom, also confirmed that the company is to negotiate terms for a strategic partnership with two large corporations. "It is not related to investments or swapping shares, but only to business sphere. Partnership will allow Prokom to provide services to corporations on the global market," said Krauze. Prokom will also widen the number of its supervisory members to five people. "Announcements are very promising, but we shall wait for the results," commented one analyst.
