Its multi-layer, multi-purpose architecture and library of functions can easily be extended to facilitate product development across various automation software applications.

“Romaric will enhance camLine’s portfolio, footprint and development capacity. The acquisition is consistent with Elisa’s strategy to grow digital services internationally and accelerate development of its software business,” said Henri Korpi, Executive Vice President of Elisa International Digital Services.
