Endava Moldova to open branch in Cahul

Endava Moldova, the country’s largest IT company, plans to open in August a branch at the Cahul-based Hasdeu State University in a move to improve teaching of IT-related courses and to recruit the most gifted graduates of the region’s universities. Recently, Endava has announced it extended its number of employees to 200. This move further outlines the British Endava Group’s strategy to expand into Eastern Europe and to provide high quality IT services to overseas and regional companies. Since its inception in 2000, Endava Moldova, formerly known as Compudava, has offered attractive jobs for the most gifted young IT graduates, increasing its number of employees from 5 to 50 in the first two years; in the third year their number doubled, reaching 100 by the end of 2003. Endava Moldova provides services to EU and U.S. companies, operating both from the delivery centre based in Chisinau and directly at the clients’ premises, mainly in London, where it is engaged in designing highly complex IT systems for the largest banks in London. To strengthen its position on the domestic market and improve access to skilled human resources, Endava Moldova has been sponsoring the teaching of the course Software Engineering at the Technical University of Moldova, as well as national contests of informatics for more than 6 years. It is member of the Endava Group, focused on the architecture, development, implementation and operation of high availability, high transaction, and highly secure, business critical systems for some of the worlds leading Financial Services, Telecommunications, Media and Services companies. Endava was established in 2006, following the merger between Brains Direct (comprising Compudava), a leading supplier of Eastern European offshore software development and IT services, and Concise Group, a London-based IT consulting and services organisation.
