Butnaru Lucian’s Summary
The company I founded, Akela, has grown to be one of the leading Romanian providers of Custom Software Solutions. We started working with partners in France, and then gradually extended our presence to other European countries, as well as the US. Akela works with companies such as Alcatel, Danone, Orange, Peugeot, Lukoil, Landis & Gyr, TechTeam and for software houses around the world.
In 2003, Akela was the first Romanian software outsourcing provider to open offices in the US, aiming for a truly global delivery model.
In January 2005, as an acknowledgment of Akela’s continuous efforts to deliver inspired business solutions beyond its customers’ expectations, the company was named to the Annual Offshore 100 ranking of top global suppliers by offshore outsourcing advisory expert neoIT and CMP’s Managing Offshore Newsletter and one of the Top 5 Suppliers in Central and Eastern Europe.
In October 2005, Techteam Global (NASDAQ:TEAM), a global provider of information technology and business process outsourcing support services acquired Akela to expand its offering in the software development market.
