“We intend a strategic reorientation of the software division Acollada, addressing the huge potential in the mobile devices and new technologies sector. We focus mainly on HTML5, which allows running software on any OS, for both B2B and B2c, on Android and iOS,” said Ionescu.
The company announced Wednesday its entry to the market of software components for IT companies, developers and programmers, releasing the iOS Charting solution on the most popular online channel – ComponentSource.
The software components market is the most dynamic segment in the IT industry, growing by more than 40% on average over the next five years, especially thanks to a boost from mobile applications, whose value exceeded $15 billion in 2011, according to research firm Gartner.
“Acollada iOS Charting Component allows freelancer developers and software houses to incorporate in their proprietary applications built for Apple mobile devices high interactive and eye catching graphics. (…) This component is key for the unique user interaction with a software product on iOS platform,” said a TotalSoft press release.
“Software Development based on components is a widely used practice in IT companies where the resources’ shortage is solved not by increasing the headcount, but by system architects that assess and select different independent software modules they integrate in their proprietary solutions. Thus, the software companies save significant time and money resources, allowing their in-house programmers to focus on key areas, with high added value.”
ComponentSource is the world’s largest software component marketplace, offering more than 1,000 components, indexed by technology or platform, to 125,000 client organizations. Thanks to the partnership with ComponentSource, TotalSoft solutions will be available to a million software developers in 180 countries.
TotalSoft, through its Acollada division, “is the first Romanian software house that offers reusable software components, dedicating resources to create, document, test and publish software modules, offered to a virtually unlimited market of programmers worldwide.”
The product is available for developers at http://www.componentsource.com/products/acollada-ios-charting/index.html.
TotalSoft is one of the most important providers of business software solutions in Romania, according to market research company Pierre Audoin Consultants. It is 90.5%-owned by Cyprus-based Ferabosco Investments Limited, part of the private equity group Global Finance.
TotalSoft’s sales grew by 15.4% in 2011, to EUR25.9 million.
