INTRASOFT International

INTRASOFT International, announced that as of today it is joining forces with the Danish NETCOMPANY for the creation of one of the leading European IT companies.

This emerging European IT leader is expected to compete with some of the global tech giants.

With a presence across the continent and with a total number of employees over 6,000, it will now be able to target large projects across the wider geographical area, taking advantage of unique digital transformation opportunities.

The combination of NETCOMPANY as a pioneer in Northern Europe with INTRASOFT based in Luxembourg and its strong position in Greece and Southern Europe creates a European success story of INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, fully complementary in terms of services and solutions offered, according to the relevant announcement of the company.

The new scheme has a rich combined experience in the IT market of European organizations, the public sector as well as large customers such as public utility services, banks and financial institutions and telecommunications organizations.

The timing of this strategic move underlines the great opportunity of digitilization of European governments and the private sector, which is also a target of 20% of the recovery and stability fund funding.

Intrasoft’s combined products for Customs, Tax, Social Security and Netcompany’s Govtech platform, tested in some of the most advanced digital markets in Europe, create synergies that far exceed the sum of the two and will be exploited in emerging opportunities across Europe.

For NETCOMPANY, the move marks the largest acquisition in the company’s history, and for INTRASOFT, until recently a member of Intracom Holdings Group based in Greece, the transaction is an important recognition of its dynamics, growth and future capabilities.

Moreover, the move at a Pan-European level is one of the most important investments in the IT sector in 2021, and certainly a positive nod for the greek high-tech sector.

Alexandros Manos, CEO of INTRASOFT International commented: “This is a historic moment for INTRASOFT that comes as a result of our successful cooperation with Netcompany over the last 4 years for the implementation of the modernization projects of The Danish Customs and the Tax Collection Service.

Our joint commitment to high quality, to the use of new open source technologies, agile methodology and above all our common understanding of the importance of information technology for the empowerment of Europe have built strong trust among us and have given credence to our common vision and to this new step.

We are now in a unique position to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the digitalisation agenda in Europe, reinforced by the EU’s recovery plans in Greece and in all Member States.

As synergies unfold and possibilities become reality, it will become apparent that this move marks a new era of unparalleled growth. The benefits for our people, for our customers and for society ultimately guarantee our shared success and we look forward to continuing this journey together.”
