Company president Pavol Róža said that entry of strong financial group completed process of transformation of the company, which started in the year 2005, after the Slovak branch joined structures of international group DAMOVO. „The coming of strategic investor strengthens our position of most influential Ericsson partner at local market,“ said Pavol Róža.
Company Damovo started to operate in the year 2001, when division Ericsson Enterprise, focused on enterprise information systems, split from Swedish concern Ericsson. The company became direct successor of this division, focusing on integrated solutions in areas of voice and data services for fixed and mobile networks. During all six years, Damovo was the strongest distribution channel and service company of Ericsson technologies.
The financial group which owned Damovo world-wide decided that it will focus on western Europe markets and started to reduce the subsidiaries in other parts of the world two years ago. Company’s top managers became, for a short period of time, its owners. „We knew we were not able to keep up too long in a hostile competitive environment. That‘s why we were searching for a reliable strategic investor since 2005. We are convinced that’s what we found with ALISON group,” said Andrej Žucha, CEO.

Support for new brand was also expressed by Peter Friedsam, Ericsson Sales Director for Slovakia and Hungary: „Based on actual results and projects, we consider ALISON Slovakia our most important distribution channel in central Europe.“ The level Advanced Certified Partner is an expression of financial stability of partner and evaluation of volume of contracts. It also means very high requirements on employee education, Ericsson portfolio knowledge and knowledge of local market needs. The customers thus have guaranteed services and solutions at optimal price level with high added value of Ericsson products.
ALISON Slovakia aims to strengthen its position of most influential partner of Ericsson at local market and implement significant number of managed services projects.
