However, our understanding is that Swoodoo was a project ran by the team in Kaunas, which were not only IT devs but also business devs and the whole project and the company behind it has a history of ties with Germany. It is also true, that Swoodoo had local presence possibly together with certain key people of the project being German. Yet the operation was much more then just outsource and it is our understanding that the success was forget as much (if not more) on Lithuanian soil as on German, so it's not 100% Lithuanian, but it is that as well, according to us.

Every source I've managed to dig up indicates it is a Munich-based German company. I understand it has/had some kind of developer team in Kaunas, but it would seem that doesn't make it any more Lithuanian than Barclay's IT center in Vilnius makes Barclay's a Lithuanian financial powerhouse. Do correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. How come swoodoo.com is a Lithuanian company? Every source I’ve managed to dig up indicates it is a Munich-based German company.
