Ramnicu Valcea-based RomSoft company, a supplier of Oracle software products, expects to derive a turnover worth 12 million euros this year, 30% higher than last year; when it generated a turnover standing at 8.4 million euros.

The online tracking of productivity increases will become a major 'must' in terms of economic growth. So far, exports have accounted for around 10% in overall turnover, but we expect them to increase by as much as 30% this year, amid the expansion of the IT services market in EU countries," Claudia Ursateanu, general manager with RomSoft Ramnicu Valcea told ZF Transilvania.

This year, the company's investment and development plans will focus on the development of its infrastructure, including employee professional training, moves in marketing and international positioning, as well as the opening of a new IT parts production line.
