INTRASOFT International S.A. is an innovative, dynamic IT Service Provision company, providing services in the fields of Systems Development and Integration, Systems Management and Managed Services. The company's multidisciplinary team of high calibre software engineers, field experts, as well as its strategic relationships, provide customised solutions to a number of industry sectors that include Telecommunications, Finance and Banking, Public Administration and Government. INTRASOFT International operations are located in Brussels, Luxembourg and Athens; they also deliver services in Germany, Italy, Spain and Ireland.
INTRASOFT International has evolved from the Western European Division of INTRASOFT S.A., the leading Software Development and Systems Integration Company in Greece. They are also the most recent offspring of the INTRACOM Group, the primary IT and Telecommunications group in Greece, which employs 3,500 people worldwide with a consolidated annual turnover of 440 million Euro (470 million USD). Although INTRASOFT International was formally incorporated in Luxembourg in 1996, its management and key personnel have been active in this market since 1992, setting-up the foundations for an innovative new company. The smooth transition of INTRASOFT's technical infrastructure, human resources and experience has guided INTRASOFT International S.A. into becoming a leading Systems Integrator/Software Development company in the European Union with valuable market leads in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean countries. INTRASOFT International currently supports the IT needs of more that 30,000 users in Western Europe, with a turnover in 1998, of 13.65 million Euro (14.93 million USD) with some 1.7 million Euro (1.88 million USD) in profit.
INTRASOFT International's activities are provided within in the following three distinct disciplines:
