OAG Opens New Development Center in Lithuania
/OAG has announced plans to open an office in Kaunas, Lithuania. The team in Kaunas will focus on new solution development and continuous improvement to OAG’s existing product lines, including schedule processing, flight status information, analytics platforms and predictive applications.
The location of this investment project was largely influenced by the high level of technical and English language skills offered by Kaunas’ local talent pool. The region is filled with highly skilled Java and .NET developers and other IT specialists, a key consideration for OAG. The company is planning to hire between 25-30 experienced software developers, analysts, and QA professionals and several dozen architects and test engineers over the next couple years.
OAG also selected Kaunas for the strong technical education provided by The Kaunas University of Technology, an institution known for producing high-calibre graduates. The availability of direct flights to and from OAG’s Luton, UK headquarters and the region’s positive environment for technology companies also factored into the decision.
Kaunas will join OAG’s list of global offices including Boston, Chicago, Singapore, Tokyo and Beijing.
