Endava d.o.o. (Serbian Cyrillic: Ендава д.о.о.) is a Serbian software development company with headquarters in Belgrade, Serbia. Since 2015, it is part of the Endava Group.

The company's main areas of expertise are development of object-oriented software, database design and software for mobile phones (Android, iPad).[3] PSTech is the biggest regional center for functional and performance software testing.[3]

History

The company was established on 27 November 1992 under name "PSTech" (Power Symbol Technology). As of 2015, PSTech was one of the largest Serbian software companies, with more than 10 million euros of revenue and around 300 employees.[1][4]

In June 2015, PSTech became part of UK-based Endava Group, which has over 3,700 employees (as of May 2017) around the world.[4] Until the end of 2015, PSTech d.o.o. changed its name to "Endava" d.o.o.[4] In May 2017, Endava d.o.o. moved into new headquarters building in Belgrade, due to planned expansion of business.[5]

During more than 15 years in business, PSTech also developed a set of its own products, which represent solutions to most frequent requests of its clients. Among others, these are:

There are also solutions based on SugarCRM — BankingCRM and PharmaCRM.

Work space and employees

Work space inside PSTech

Work environment in PSTech is open plan, however in contrast with the concept where a single huge work space dominates the area, the GTC building architecture caused rooms to be arranged in circle, whereas the central part of each floor is used for elevators, halls and fire escape. Among other rooms, there is a table tennis room, a cross-trainer, two table footballs, two smoking areas and two kitchens. Employees can use these rooms during work time, when having rest.

The company stimulates its employees through a range of recreational and entertaining program, as well as free of charge drinks. Employees are offered free-of-charge fruit juices, Coca-Cola, milk, coffee, soda and drinking water. Once in a week employees can play indoors basketball and/or volleyball game, also paid by the company. Once in a year, on the traditional New Year party, employees of the year from each sector are chosen and awarded and during Summer a team-building event for the whole company is organized outdoors.

Education of employees

In 2012, PSTech sent its representative to TechEd, Microsoft's annual IT conference, which was held in Amsterdam that year. The conference presents an opportunity for IT professionals to meet numerous experts and representatives from Microsoft, find out about their development plans and reports about current achievements. The event is accompanied by entertainment, meetings and "Ask the expert" sessions. The conference agenda is wide and participants may choose subjects they will attend.

PSTech supports students practice, for students of different technical faculties in Serbia, so they can have relevant work experience after studies.[6] The students, which are also paid for their work and eventually get job opportunities inside the company, constitute around 5.5% of all employees (as of 2012).

Awards

In 2006, SIEPA, the Serbian agency for foreign investments and export, selected PSTech as Exporter of the year in the category of small and medium enterprises.[7][8]

In 2009, PSTech won the same award as in 2006, Exporter of the year, becoming the only company to win this prestigious prize two times, since its foundation.[9] The award was delivered "for outstanding export activities in the markets of EU and USA, as well as for cooperation with international ICT giants"[10]

In June 2010, PSTech became one of the users of the government's subsidy program for buying domestic software and on that occasion the Minister of Economy Mlađan Dinkić and the Minister of Telecommunications and Information Society Jasna Matić visited PSTech.

On 18 May 2012, under "Women in business" ceremony, PSTech's general manager, Branka Radovanović, was awarded for "outstanding enterprise achievements" by European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in London.[11][12]

Social responsibility

In 2010, 2011 and 2012 PSTech sponsored the student's conference "JobFair", employment fair for students of technical universities.[13][14][15] In 2011 the company joined the fundraising event organized by Serbian Youth integration center, by donating a software solution for a local orphanage.[16]

The "Girls' International Day", which is traditionally held on last Thursday of April each year and the purpose of which is to introduce girls to job carriers that are rarely selected by women, was held in PSTech in 2012.[17]
