Sciant

Sciant is an IT solutions provider established in 2016 by co-founders Angel Mitev and Nikola Toshev. The company is headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, with additional offices in other Bulgarian cities and Tirana, Albania. Angel Mitev, an entrepreneur with over two decades of experience in IT and logistics, has a background that includes several successful business exits to companies like VMWare, Uber, and Sirma Group.

The firm specializes in developing and integrating IT solutions for specific industries, primarily focusing on Travel and Hospitality, Transportation and Logistics, and Fintech and Banking. Its client base is diverse, ranging from large global enterprises to fast-growing startups. Sciant's business model is centered on providing custom software development and IT services. This includes building solutions that leverage big data, business intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain technologies. A significant part of their work involves creating robust integrations for both modern digital platforms and existing legacy systems. The company's offerings span custom application development using technologies like Java and Python, web development, database design, API integrations, and quality assurance testing.

A key milestone in Sciant's history was its acquisition by Sirma Group Holding. The process began in November 2021 with Sirma acquiring a majority stake and was finalized in April 2023 when Sirma purchased the remaining shares, making Sciant a fully-owned subsidiary. This acquisition was a strategic move for Sirma Group to enter new vertical markets, particularly in transportation, logistics, and hospitality, where Sciant has a strong reputation and a portfolio of international clients. Following the acquisition, Sciant continues to operate as an independent entity, maintaining its management team and focus while benefiting from the larger group's resources. The firm has also pursued its own growth, such as acquiring the Albanian IT company ReSolutions in October 2022 to expand its team and service capabilities.
