Company profile

International Software Techniques S.A. (doing business as IST) is a private company of Greek interests.

Being in the forefront of the Greek software industry since 1991, IST has established itself as a technology and client-driven company, bringing tangible value to its client-base through a sophisticated portfolio of software services and solutions.

IST currently functions both as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) and as a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) for third-party software products and services, constituting what has been lately coined as "boutique software development company".

The company is headquartered in Marousi, Athens, Greece. The management team owns 100% of the share capital, allowing the company to pursue a coherent growth strategy.

IST dedicates itself to delivering sophisticated services and solutions for specific, high growth and demanding industries, such as telecommunications, banking & finance and pharma.

We primarily address the needs of large-sized and Enterprise-level organizations (either private, publicly-traded or multinational), while we also offer our services to major international software vendors (acting as their designated outsourcing partners).

The company is also actively pursuing grants through Greek and European funded research projects.

At IST, we are a strong advocate of the "Think Big, Act Small" management approach: think big, authentic ideas about solving customers’ problems, making better products, providing valuable services, exploring innovative solutions and creating value. But, at the same time never stop acting like a start-up; staying humble, treating every employee like the owner, and having everyone in the frontline.

We make a conscious and continuous effort to combine the strengths of a big organization with the hunger of a start-up. We build excellent relationships with our clients, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders; we groom future leaders at all levels, and we balance their short-term goals with their long-term visions.

Our People

As a knowledge-intensive organization, operating in a highly-competitive environment, IST places a strong emphasis on the qualities, skills, personality characteristics and potential of its people.

We have adopted an open-door policy, a balanced matrix organization structure, while we incorporate knowledge-management and ideation-management practices, in order to enhance our Research & Development process as well as our innovation capabilities.

Moreover, IST is characterized by a friendly, casual culture, which places an emphasis on collaboration, team-building, knowledge dissemination as well as efficiency and effectiveness.

Average age of our employees (as at 31 December 2019): 34 years

 

Training

We invest heavily in the frequent and on-going training of all our people, through participation in seminars, forums, crash-courses, subscriptions to specialty journals, as well as memberships in special interest groups and associations.

We strive to offer our people a strong set of tools for career development, so as to help them realize their potential.

 

Employee Profile

We currently employ a significant number of full-time individuals, each with significant experience in his / her field of expertise.

All of our people have graduated from recognized academic institutions and have multi-year hands-on field experience.

All of our people can communicate fluently in at least one foreign language.

 

Organizational Structure

We have adopted a matrix management structure, which allows team members to share information more readily across task boundaries, while bolstering an agile and flexible operating model.

The matrix structure allows for specialization that can increase depth of knowledge and allows for professional development and career progression to be managed.

Clients

Successfully Serving A Demanding Client Base

Our clients are coming from demanding, fast-moving and high-growth vertical markets and are predominantly large-sized and Enterprise-level organizations (either private or publicly-traded) with broad stakeholder involvement.

These types of clients demand the very best from their designated partners.

At IST we combine flexibility and personal interest, with professionalism and knowledge of the subject matter.
