Energy software specialist Contigo has agreed a three year deal with international integration experts Indra that will see them extend their customer base into mainland Europe.

The partnership - which is expected to be worth £1 million over three years for the two organisations - will see Indra act as an integration partner, providing implementation and configuration support to customers using Contigo's software products throughout a number of European countries.

Indra will also act as a local sales organisation in those territories - drawing from their local knowledge and existing base of contacts to open discussion with energy providers - while Contigo will provide sales support and licensing of products. 

Simon Piercy, Contigo, said: "We have enjoyed great success in the UK and are now looking for opportunities to begin working in new markets overseas. Contigo can provide a unique product to energy companies in the form of our enTrader suite and while we are well positioned in the UK market selling overseas needs a local presence.  Indra is one of the most highly regarded integration companies in Europe and they have an in-depth knowledge of our target markets."

"This partnership represents an outstanding opportunity for us to market Contigo to a far more diverse audience, extending our client base and adding new functionality to our products which will benefit all of our end-users."

More than 140 energy companies around the world operating in electricity, petroleum, water and gas use Indra products and the company is recognised as a world-leader for sustainability within the energy sector, featuring on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

Leo Benitez, Indra, said: "Contigo's products represent an exciting step forward in providing bespoke energy risk management software solutions to companies and I am extremely pleased that we have been able to agree this partnership and assist them in developing their business in mainland Europe."

Established in 1921 in the Spanish town of Aranjuez, Indra has grown to become a global company embracing technology, innovation and talent, with 30,000 employees operating in over 100 countries.
