History
[edit]DataArt was founded in 1997 in New York City by Eugene Goland, President and CEO.[2] It started as and remains a U.S. (New York) corporation.[3]
In 2001, the company opened a London office.[4]
In 2007, DataArt received Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status. This was attained by participating in the Microsoft Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) program, where the company received high customer ratings and earned the status of Small Business Specialist.[5][6]
In 2011, DataArt became a member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine.[7][8][9]
In 2014, DataArt acquired AW Systems and launched a development center in Buenos Aires, i.e. it entered Argentina.[10][11]
In 2018–2019, Da Vinci Capital and German state-owned development finance institution DEG invested in the company. An important reason for the investment was that DataArt employed over a thousand IT professionals in Ukraine, mitigating brain drain risks. It was a strategic investment as the institutions work on promoting sustainable economic development in Ukraine, Argentina, and Armenia.[12][13][14]
In 2021, DataArt opened an additional R&D center in Bulgaria (Plovdiv) and new offices were opened in Kazakhstan and Georgia.[15] In September of that same year, the company acquired the Armenian-based software development company SFL.[16]
In 2022, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, DataArt left the Russian market on 15 June,[17][18] i.e. it closed its offices in Russia.
In September 2022, DataArt announced the acquisition of Lola Tech,[19] thus entering the software development market in Romania. Lola Tech's Cluj-Napoca hub becomes the first development centre in Romania.
