Fortech Celebrates New Milestone: 100 Colleagues in Oradea Office

The beginning of December marked an important milestone for us as a software development company; we are 100 colleagues stronger in Oradea.

In 2016, Fortech opened in Oradea its first delivery center outside of Cluj, to consolidate its operations across Romania. What started as a team of 9 people four years ago has grown into an essential strategic pillar for the company which, enables Fortech to respond better and faster to the evolving needs of its clients for high-quality software development services.

Today, our delivery center in Oradea counts over 100 IT specialists with strong expertise in mainstream technologies like Java, .NET, PHP, JavaScript, in manual and automation testing, integration development, service directory, and project management. We are proud to be known as one of the biggest tech employers in the Bihor county, offering career growth opportunities for the brightest minds in the region and contributing to Oradea’s growing IT ecosystem.

 

Being able to adapt in a rapidly changing environment without affecting the quality of the software we deliver while also staying true to our commitment to customers has proven to be vital for us this year. I am beyond proud of this fantastic milestone that we have reached together with our team in Oradea. Fortech Oradea remains a reliable pillar in our business strategy.” – Călin Văduva, CEO of Fortech.

 

Fortech in Oradea

Leveraging an academic heritage of almost 30 years, Oradea recently became one of the most attractive emerging IT hubs in the region. The city has a Western European touch and has changed and modernized a lot in recent years.

The quality of the talent here, their entrepreneurial mindset, Oradea’s quick connection to Central Europe and its efficient and proactive local administration have turned the city into a critical development area for us.

Professional Development and Community Involvement

To keep up with the dynamic IT market demands, as a software development company Fortech continuously invests in developing the skills of its team. Fortech employees and collaborators have access to internal or external learning experiences through training programs, conferences, or involvement in community education projects. The company invests in internship and pre-employment programs and maintains close relationships with the local academia and non-profit organizations that spearhead educational projects.

Among the projects backed by Fortech Oradea are the educational program dedicated to high school students called “Discover your passion in IT”  (DpIT); equipping an IT laboratory from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the University of Oradea, and the involvement of Fortech specialists in teaching a “Java Programming” course in the department. At the same time, we are involved in the local technical community, being an active member of Oradea Tech Hub.
