When ALTIA was born, the ICT revolution was in its early stages, and the technological landscape was very different from today: there were no websites, no email, and mobile phones were still in their infancy. No one could imagine where we would be 25 years later, but what we did know for sure was that enthusiasm and excitement would accompany us on this great adventure.
We grew by betting on innovation, new technologies, and customer orientation
ALTIA’s evolution is evident. We have grown from a small office with three people in A Coruña to 14 locations with more than 1,000 professionals across Spain and beyond, including our office in Santiago de Chile; from a single project in Santiago de Compostela to global projects that drive the modernization of key sectors of our economy. Using a comparison I like to make, we went from playing on the neighborhood team to the Champions League. But we have never forgotten our origins or the people who have been with us since the beginning. For example, in 1994 we began our collaboration with the Directorate General of Organization and Information Systems, now Amtega. Today, Amtega remains one of our main clients, among more than 500 we accompany in the digital world.
Origin of the brand
Today, we are one of the leading independent companies in the sector, with no ties to large ICT, industrial, or financial groups, and with growth based on a vocation for service and a commitment to our clients. This independence and personality are reflected even in the company’s name. Many people do not know that the origin of the ALTIA brand does not come from major marketing studies, but from the initial syllables of the three entrepreneurs who founded the project: three colleagues who decided to launch a business venture in the world of ICT consulting and services.
Our goal is to work to improve the future
Since then, we have become a major company listed since 2010 on the Alternative Stock Market (MAB), in the expanding companies segment. We are currently part of the IBEX MAB® 15, one of the 15 companies with the highest trading volume. We are clear about our strengths and where we believe the opportunities lie, and although we do not know where we will be over the next 25 years, we are convinced that if we continue starting projects, working hard, imagining solutions, and tackling them with passion, the future will be even better.
