Combining Accesa's 16 years of experience in delivering leading digital services with Ratiodata's more than 45 years of experience in decentralised IT and self-service, as well as digitalisation solutions, through this acquisition, The Ratiodata Group enhances its capabilities to support customers' end-to-end digital evolution journeys. A key brand in the Volksbank & Raiffeisenbank IT delivery structure, Ratiodata has a successful track-record of providing tailored solutions for highly-regulated industries like Banking and financial services providers.

The two companies have enjoyed a strong, long-term collaboration over the past four years, with Accesa supporting Radiodata's own digitalisation strategy and the development of robust solutions that provide an enhanced customer experience.

RARo will engage with companies in regulated industries and Accesa in non-regulated ones, providing the same complete digital evolution services for their clients through a right mix of on-site & remote service delivery capabilities and rewarding career opportunities for their people.

Nurturing a people-oriented mindset, as well as sharing common values like transparency, a high degree of professionalism and genuine care for people, solutions and our impact, we look forward to this new phase of Accesa's evolution, harnessing the full breath of our capabilities to deliver value for the entire Ratiodata Group and all the people we engage with." ~ Cristina Puiu, Chief People Officer, Accesa

At the same time, this provides our engineers with the opportunity to act as consultants, leveraging the full scope of their technical experience to have a real, measurable impact through their work. We will continue to support our customer's technology stacks, as well as respond to the increasing demand we're seeing in both core areas like Java, .NET, Web Technologies, Cloud, Microsoft 365, and niche ones like AI, RPA and RSA Archer. We're confident that this will enable us to deliver the top-of-the-line solutions that help our partner's businesses evolve and the professional development opportunities that ensure our people thrive." ~ Marius Florea, Co-CEO, Managed Services
