Given the magnitude of the solutions we provide and the challenges we help our customers address, our focus on technological innovation is fundamental to Telvent’s overall business strategy.

To drive innovation across all lines of our business, Telvent maintains an international network of nine technology centers dedicated to research and development (R&D). In our R&D centers, over 350 talented engineers, developers and technologists focus on continuous improvement of existing products and solutions, and on creating and testing entirely new systems and solutions. Between 2008 and 2010, Telvent committed over 90M € to fund research and development, and in a typical year, over 50 major new R&D projects are launched.

Individual R&D centers are focused on core business and technology areas to develop high value-added system architectures and advanced applications specific for each market sector. Innovative solutions developed in one location are frequently shared across our entire R&D network, maximizing ROI on our R&D efforts and enabling us to bring new solutions to customers in all business areas more cost efficiently.

In addition to serving our critical R&D needs, our R&D network also serves as a critical data center resource that supports the systems integration and outsourcing services provided to scores of clients through our Global Services IT and consulting division.
