Central European IT group launches in the UK

Soitron, the well-established and highly successful Central European system integrator and IT outsourcing group, is launching in the UK to work with clients including AT&T, HP and Vodafone.

Soitron brings the expertise of Central and Eastern Europe’s (CEE) best shore IT facilities to the UK, aregion which Gartner and AT Kearney describe as the best place for IT outsourcing in Europe, with facilities across five countries including Slovakia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Turkey and Romania. The CEE is now one of the world’s three most important regions for IT outsourcing, and Bulgaria is ranked ninth in the 2014 AT Kearney Global Services Location index.

Soitron offers a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record delivering integrated outsourcing services to UK clients, including managed data services, managed desktop services, project management, managed service desk, managed networking and managed business process outsourcing (BPO).

Commenting on what attracted him to Soitron, Olsson commented, “The Soitron proposition goes beyond cost and quality. What makes Soitron stand out in its field is the questions it asks of client briefs – pushing the boundaries of expectation. It proactively strives to deliver value on client investments to build long-lasting and far-reaching relationships such as that with HP.”

Bringing the innovation of the region’s IT services sector to the UK allows us to deepen our relationship with established clients such as HP and AT&T through local project management and proximity to their centre of operations. We offer clients a transparent, KPI focused service model and that prioritises cost control – this underpins our aim to be the UK’s first choice for near shore IT outsourcing in five years.”
