2004  : StreamWIDE wins in September the 9 Telecom invitation to tender for its voice messaging application, with an initial purchase of 50 000 licences (vocal mailboxes). This sale is the opportunity for StreamWIDE to establish relations with Nortel, which will become soon its main reseller. Same year, StreamWIDE wins T-Online France (Deutsche Telekom subsidiary) call for bid and begins working with Cirpack, which will also become one of StreamWIDE’s important partners. 2004 marks also StreamWIDE first developments in Bucharest, in sub-contracting mode.
