The City of Oulu has boosted the growth of hi-tech companies for 30 years. One of the projects has been the establishment of a technology park, which today employs around 6000 people. The city will ensure that its people prosper in very safe and developed society, surrounded by beautiful nature in all four seasons. For example, it has over 300 kilometres of cycle-ways open all year round.

Within the past year Capricode, a Mobile Device Management (MDM) company from Oulu, has proven that its SyncShield mobile device management technology is one of the cutting edge technologies in Europe. Simultaneously, the number of enterprise customers using SyncShield through this reseller network has been growing at a promising rate. The next natural step for the following year will be to expand the reseller network into central Europe.

SyncShield has been praised for its usability, reliability and ease of implementation. In addition, SyncShield is uniquely suitable for service provider's productised mobile device management service offering. These characteristics make SyncShield a winning remote management solution, which has a potential to become the world leading solution, says Capricode's CEO Jonny Kaarlenkaski.

Advertising agencies offer a growing variety of digital marketing communication services for their clients as marketing moves to the internet. The tools used to make these services reality are often chosen on a case-by-case basis, and the agency ends up using a vast number of tools, which take time to learn and master effectively.
