History
The company was founded in 1990 by Babis P. Stasinopoulos.[2][3] Being an investor at Athens Exchange in the late 1980s, Stasinopoulos felt the need of software applications for automating workflow and helping with the investment decisions. Therefore, his idea was to fill this market niche.[9]
For the first four years his company operated as a private enterprise. In 1995 it was converted into a public limited company (societe anonyme) with an initial capital of 70 Δρ. million. In 1999 its share capital was increased to 1.2 Δρ. billion, while its turnover reached 1.8 Δρ. billion. By 2000, Profile Software was already the leading financial software company and one of the 10 largest IT companies in Greece. Its number of employees exceeded 150.[9]
In August 2003, the company was listed on the Athens Exchange.[10] In the following year it completed mergers through acquisition with BeCom and Analysis,[11] as well as acquired a 70% stake in Globalsoft.[12]
In 2007, the company began incorporating development of two large software products: the Financial Management System (FMS) and Universal Ticketing Solution (UTS).[13][14]
By 2010, Profile had contracted such companies and organizations as National Bank of Greece,[15][16] EFG Eurobank,[17] Ministry of Justice of Greece,[18] National Bank of Romania,[19][20] ING, ABN AMRO, Emporiki Bank, Cosmote,[20] and ILPAP.[21]
Since 2011, facing the effects of Greek financial crisis, Profile Systems and Software is making a strategic shift from serving mainly domestic market towards increasing its share on international markets.[2][4] As part of the new strategy, Profile opened four new offices in major financial centers: Geneva, London, Dubai,[22] and Singapore.[23] It also intensified its promotional and marketing activities in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.[22][23]
In 2013, the company introduced the P2P Lending Software that implemented in the UK-based crowdfunding firms.[24] In 2015, the company introduced the Axia cloud-based platform for wealth management.
