Sofia, Bulgaria, 31 July 2018 - Acronis, a global leader in cyber
protection and hybrid
cloud storage currently celebrating its 15-year anniversary, today announced
that it has expanded its research and development operations in
Europe through the strategic acquisition of software engineering
company T-Soft. The
Sofia-based subsidiary will change its name to Acronis
Bulgaria.
The acquisition is the result of a successful partnership
between the two companies. T-Soft has been providing Acronis with
exceptional software development services since 2012, enhancing the
quality of Acronis' products and augmenting the effectiveness of
Acronis' engineering teams.
"We have some of the best and brightest software engineers in
Bulgaria, performing at the highest standards. We're proud to join
the Acronis team and continue our work as part of the world's
leading cyber protection corporation," said Plamen Toshev,
Managing Director, Acronis Bulgaria.
"Acronis needs more engineers to develop the innovative
technologies that can satisfy the growing need for
cyber protection. As part of our growth strategy, we are
increasing our presence in Europe, and Sofia, Bulgaria felt like a
logical step for us. We already had a local partner with great
engineers located here. We're going to build on their success to
grow our R&D activities in Europe. It's a great place to access
the European talent pool," said Serg Bell, founder and CEO of
Acronis.
Acronis plans to expand the existing team to 300 engineers,
investing $50 million over the next three years to establish a key
R&D center in Europe that is fully focused on cyber protection.
The new technology developed in Sofia will advance Acronis'
innovative solutions to provide easy, efficient,
and secure protection for all data, applications and system.
T-Soft has contributed greatly to the development of Acronis'
file sync and share technologies, and now Acronis Bulgaria will
continue developing this product line. There are also plans to
build web and quality assurance teams in Bulgaria.
Acronis values its employees and puts constant attention into
the well-being of the team by guaranteeing a great working
environment, future career development opportunities, and an
attractive social policy.
The company will also engage in active collaboration with local
universities and educational institutions to provide training skill
