“I think this particular business has a huge development potential like the real estate sector did fifteen years ago,” Ostahie said.
Axsys Business Technologies was established a month ago and its core business is ‘information technology’. Its owners are Altex Romania (about 95%) and Florin David (about 5%). Florin David is the chief executive officer of the software developer and has previously worked at Altex for two decades, supervising the IT side of the business, especially, the Altex owner said.
The new company will start with a small number of employees but will hire more over the next few years because it is a long-term project, Ostahie added.
“We will begin with 15 programmers, but we want the figure to increase along the way. This is a project I took on because I believe in it and is a long-term bet. We will have to find specialized employees, though, and this is a difficult project, there aren’t enough of them on the market. We will also try to hire young people and help them develop in-house.”
