Loading ...Local provider of business enterprise solutions Siveco Romania targets a growth of 10-12% in 2009, to 94 million US dollars (some 73 million euros); the company maintained its 20% growth estimate for this year unchanged.
“For 2009, we seek an advance comparable to the growth of the local industry. Nobody can stay sheltered from global turbulence, that’s for sure. Based on data available so far, we estimate that against the backdrop of recession, the global IT market will grow next year by some 4%, whereas in Romania the advance will probably stand somewhere between 10 and 12%.
In absolute terms, the current value of the global IT market is very high due to the steady, even explosive growth over the last ten years. The Romanian market is growing mature, which turns the use of IT instruments into a stringent need,” Siveco Romania CEO Irina Socol told Business Standard.
In Socol’s opinion, the local IT market might get a boost from the economic crisis, because the companies will direct their budgets towards IT investments. “In the current context of global confusion, investments will be selectively and smartly directed towards areas that are vital for development and IT is such a activity to help overcome bottlenecks,” said Socol.
She added that the company’s plans are reviewed periodically in correlation with local and international developments and based on quarterly and six-month results.

In another prediction for next year, Irina Socol said that the wage rise in the local IT industry would flatten a bit.
As for Siveco, its performance assessment criteria will stay unchanged, added Socol. The company will further invest in training and solution development and will further pursue a working strategy based on external projects.
Siveco intends to increase next year its personnel from the current 850 staff, in pace with the expansion of its projects.
