Collaboration models (1)
• Custom-made software (separate projects)– Medium-to-large Latvian IT companies ready to provide price estimates and discuss technical capacities
• Continuous service (outsourcing, regular batch-work)– Integration of Latvian partner possible and not resource-
consuming– Detailed cooperation agreement still suggested
• Joint applications– E.g.,technologically challenging international or state-level
projects - a big challange for IT companies

Collaboration models (2)
• Consumer market is open for new products• Localization is not an issue, in case partnering with a
local company • B2B market very diverse, companies with modern
management & IT systems• ERP and CRM already offered widely
