An entire decade has passed since we signed the document to found the Nearshore office. A lot has happened since then, and we are sharing how much we have grown, evolved, changed and experienced. All of which clearly shows how grateful we are for every one of our clients, partners, and employees. Your trust, support, and dedication have allowed us to celebrate this milestone now. Here are our historical walk-through moments and our take on those events.
Looking Back: Defining Moments in Our Journey

For us, the pathway has shown us that:
Following the Heart Leads to Opportunities
A heartfelt decision to quit a long-term permanent job and return to Sofia opened the door to a new business opportunity. This is how the Nearshore office of Sopra Steria Custom Software Solutions (formerly it-economics GmbH) was founded. Sometimes, bold moves lead to remarkable beginnings.
Trust Takes Time, but It’s Worth Every Moment
Building trust and reputation is a gradual process, but it pays off completely. By consistently delivering quality results and solving client challenges with the best solutions, we earned the trust that has been the foundation of our success.
There is Unprecedented Power in a Motivated and Well-Trained Team
To work on high-level projects involving specific technologies and frameworks, having a talented, well-trained, and motivated team is essential. We strived to create an environment where knowledge was shared freely, and every team member had the opportunity to learn, grow, and innovate.
The Best Connections Happen Offline
While we often work in virtual, distributed teams, we realized that the most meaningful connections are made offline. This is true not only for parties and celebrations but also for collaboration, learning, and even casual moments like sharing a meal. Bonds are strongest when people come together, whether to work, think, or simply enjoy each other’s company.
Adaptability and Flexibility: Our Golden Keys
Our ability to adapt—whether by expanding service offerings, adopting new technologies, or navigating global challenges—has been central to our growth. Flexibility has allowed us to remain resilient and responsive to changing needs, ensuring we continue to thrive.
Special Recognition
We would also like to recognize five employees who exemplify our spirit of teamwork and problem-solving. They recently solved a riddle that revealed the motto of our anniversary event: "One Decade, One Team. Getting IT Done Supreme." Their efforts symbolize the collaborative, innovative spirit that defines us. Congratulations to:
Katerina Baklicharova
Mariya Valcheva
Hristiyan Dimitrov
Mariya Popova
Theodor Ninov
Looking Ahead
As we step into our next decade, we remain committed to our core values and we are excited about the future. With new projects, a unified brand, and a strong team, we are ready to take on new challenges and make even greater strides. Here's to many more years of growth, success, and innovation together!
Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
Together, let’s continue to create, innovate, and be relevant and bold, to build a positive future for all.
