“I initially worked at Softwin, which at that time had 500 employees and was expanding internationally. I was one of the 500 employees, but I decided to leave the team. I set up Senior Software 11 years ago and I started from scratch in a rented three-room apartment,” said Toma, 39, founder of the company.
The entrepreneur specified Senior Software started working with large clients after around three years after set up, that is in 2006, but then the crisis emerged, one of the biggest challenges for the company.
The company currently provides services for production companies, the logistics and retail markets.
Four years ago, Senior Software opened its first office in Constanta and in 2014 plans to open one in Cluj owing to the plus offered by the geographical positioning. “It’s important for us to be close to Ardeal as a lot of business is being developed there,” said Toma.
Senior Software founder specified that the biggest problem of companies wanting to compete with IT giants is that they are not integrating their solutions.
Toma recommends Romanian companies to permanently invest in software to improve activities and performances.
The optimization solution market in 2013 expanded by around 5% to almost EUR116 million, and a 7-8% advance is expected for 2015.
Senior Software posted 18% higher revenue in 2013 against 2012 and for 2014 Toma projects an over 50% increase.
