“Sesca offers project consultation and management services of Symbian based applications in the foundation ecosystem electronically to anybody who might have a need for support. For instance, a customer contacts us through the foundation website and describes us the problem related to the commissioning of a Symbian application.

Our experts then help the customer to finish the commissioning project successfully. We have already experienced in customer contacts through the ecosystem,” Halminen continues.

Sesca’s Mobile Software section has over 10 years’ of experience in mobile software development and project consultation.

The Symbian Foundation was established in 2008 after Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and NTT DOCOMO had announced their intention to unify Symbian OS, S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) into a single open mobile software platform. Together with AT&T, LG Electronics, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone, the companies constituted the Symbian Foundation in order to introduce the market with a unified software platform with a common user interface. As soon as the foundation will have launched its operations, the platform will become available to all foundation members by a cost-free licence.
