Stefanini Romania, the local branch of  Brazilian IT outsourcing company Stefanini, has reached a headcount of 1,000 specialists across its delivery centers in Bucharest and Sibiu.

In 2013, Stefanini posted a turnover of EUR 17.3 million and further plans to develop its team by the end of the year, hiring IT support specialists, analysts, software developers, testing specialists, helpdesk technicians and project managers for another 100 positions.

The IT outsourcing company is celebrating 10 years of presence on the Romanian market. The first office was opened by the company in 2004, being the main European center of the group. In 2008, Stefanini inaugurated its office in Sibiu, which specializes in providing IT support services in German.

“In 2014, we added to the portfolio a significant number of clients- more than 10 new companies, and managed to retain our existing customers. We still see potential in manufacturing, pharma or FMCG, and we expect a similar growth rate in 2015,” said Andreea Stanescu (in picture), service delivery senior director, Stefanini Romania.

Stefanini employes have delivered over 100 IT projects to companies mainly active in pharma, manufacturing, and services.

The company has 800 employees in Bucharest, up 38 percent compared to the previous year, and 200 employees in Sibiu, up 67 percent compared to 2013.

At the moment, the employees of the company are delivering IT services to companies in over 50 countries, especially the United States, Germany and France.

Help desk services represent 70 percent of the total Stefanini business in Romania, being followed by application development, which represent 20 percent, while 10 percent of the business is represented by IT infrastructure services.

The company offers IT support in English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Hungarian, Russian, Greek, Bulgarian and Hebrew.

An entry-level employee is promoted to the next level within 12 to 18 months, while level 1 support technicians must go through two stages that they should go through to get through the entry-level position. The first stage can be finalized only after 6 months.

“Within the group, there is an excellent division in the mobile development, and we are glad this is located in Romania. We are also taking pride in the fact that 80 percent of the projects are developed using Agile techniques. As far as the software development division, this has posted a 30 percent growth in turnover this year, the main markets for which we are developing solutions are those in Western Europe,” said Sabin Girlea, application development division director, Stefanini Romania.

Most of the Stefanini employees in Romania are support technicians (60 percent), IT specialists and project managers representing 20 percent while other 20 percent are app developers who are working in delivery centers in Bucharest.
