The company doubled the growth pace from the previous 16% growth rate. In a recent interview with ZF, Sorin Mindrutescu, Oracle Romania country manager, did not provide any figures, merely saying the performance was ‘good’.

On the other hand, Oracle’s profit fell to less than half of 2013 level, reaching almost RON9 million.

The US company opened the first outsourcing center of a multinational on the local market in Bucharest in 2004. In the eleven years since then it has become one of the largest local employers, with about 2,500 employees last year. The company keeps hiring, so headcount increased by 194 people in 2014. The number of employees now stands at more than 3,000, Oracle said. (EUR1=RON4.4290)
