“We will have people in Romania handling the entire Balkan area,” said Maurizio De Dominicis, country manager of Ericsson Romania, specifying that at present the company has around 850 employees. The remaining 1,150 will be taken over from various Romanian companies, not just from the telecom sector, but also from the gas, energy and other sectors.
Ericsson takes over company departments, committing to provide outsourcing services in exchange. The model was previously used by Ericsson a year and a half ago, when around 400 Romtelecom employees of the switching and power supply departments were transferred into the Ericsson team, following a service outsourcing partnership signed by the two companies.
