Implementing Hycom’s scrum teams as first ever at Deutsche Telekom IT in Germany (2016) was definitely a game changing decision. It has altered the quality of cooperation between particular DT departments and Hycom as a delivery partner. On the other hand it required trust, openness and agility to adapt to a new organizational environment. As we paved the way forward and succeeded in efficient deliveries, other projects opened up to us. The key element was also close cooperation between product owners and the teams themselves. Having stable teams familiar with DT’s culture and environment allows us to reach common business goals as we also share common ownership of the projects. It also motivates teams to stay focused on high performance and working out improvements permanently. 

Hycom’s general foundation of cooperation is partnership and trust. Together with robust DT teams we have managed not only to deliver a great deal of important projects but also proven ourselves as a long-term partner in DT’s strategic plans and initiatives. 

New initiatives and technical ideas proposed by Hycom are supported by DT’s approach based on openness and respect. Together we elaborate on new features that elevate customer experience and sales records. Hycom’s flexibility and attitude combined with vast technical skills portfolio is a key to success when adjusting IT delivery to current business needs and requirements.
