Consortium
E-Group ICT Software is a 100% Hungarian-owned company with a 25-year history, with headquarters located in the heart of Buda. Its predecessor was founded in 1993 by the current CEO of the company, Antal Kuthy, and his former university companion, András Nagy, who from the beginning acts as CTO of E-Group. The company has been operating in its current form since its 2006 registration. In addition to the HQ in located in Budapest, the company has offices in two other major Hungarian cities – Pécs and Miskolc.
Foreign relations, an extensive global partner network – the most important being the Central-Eastern European region –, a joint project with several major technical universities as well as the cooperation with various innovation organizations of the EU play a significant role in the company’s life.
E-Group is a “specialist solution provider”. Among our highly trained development team, about 10% of our colleagues have a doctoral degree and 80% have a master’s degree. Key activities include transaction management, electronic identification, SLA services and the development of Smart Platforms. The company’s clients come from the financial, banking, government and energy sectors. In addition, research and development activities are equally important and are supported by close partnership with several renowned Hungarian universities. A good example of this is the latest InnoHealth DataLake project set off in the spring of 2018. The company is specifically engaged in challenging, great projects. Our focus is on innovation and research regarding new projects. Our creative senior team and industry-specific expertise are not only a competitive advantage, but it ensures a strong bargaining position for the company should any special customer demands arise. Cultivating and developing the extensive international relations are critical to the company’s life, and decades of Asian experience provide us with a solid know-how base.
