Needed extra development capacity
As an IT-intensive organization, Eika Gruppen needs skilled developers, especially Java, Kotlin and frontend expertise for its advanced IT solutions.

Bjerkestrand points out that the consultants provided by emagine to Eika Gruppen are skilled and service-minded, and they understand their role.
A good dialogue
“We have experienced that the employees are customer-oriented, good at following up, and have gone to great lengths to solve our needs. Not all consultancies are equally good at this,” Anders Bjerkestrand admits, “So we are delighted; the dialogue is good, and they deliver outstanding consultants.”
The professional sparring and communication have been good
What is important when you request expertise via emagine?

He emphasizes that the professional sparring and communication have been good. They are focused and ask questions about what kind of competence Eika needs, and he elaborates:
“With emagine as a partner, we know that we can take on new development tasks as they can deliver the expertise. Overall, I feel that emagine is dedicated, orderly and very professional,” concludes Anders Bjerkestrand.
