“Cegeka Romania posted EUR21.5 million revenue in 2017. We are now working with more than 30 customers of our own along with customers of the entire Cegeka group, which also work with Cegeka centers in other countries. We will focus more on attracting local customers via our new professional service division this year,” Ovidiu Pinghioiu, manager of the professional services division of Cegeka Romania, told ZF.
The business of the local subsidiary used to be equally divided between the two divisions – software development and IT infrastructure solutions until now. Some of the revenue also comes from the agile coaching and agile transformation services Cegeka Romania introduced in 2015.
The Belgian group has recently decided to develop the professional service division in Romania, which provides IT consulting services for short and medium-term to corporate customers at their premises. This means Cegeka consultants develop solutions and personalized software applications as required and needed by customers, relocating at their customers’ premises.
The professional service division generates 20% of the revenue of the Cegeka group.
This division has customers from the finance-banking, insurance, telecom, IT and retail in Romania. It is served by the center in Bucharest but Cegeka also has an office in Iasi.
Cegeka Romania ended 2017 with a 450-strong team, 70 of whom staffing the Iasi office. It added 80 people last year.
