Right now, digital transformation is on everyone’s agenda.  We make digital transformation accessible to all organizations independent of geography, size and segmentation.  An essential contributor to digital transformation is app modernization, which supports the transformation of applications to cloud native technologies and bringing them up to par with the latest functions and capabilities to get the best possible business outcome.”

Darío Solórzano, founder of InterGrupo said: “This is a very exciting milestone for InterGrupo!  For our customers, our partners and our employees this union with SoftwareONE offers tremendous opportunities.  We share the same passion for culture and for transforming our customers’ businesses digitally, and I am thrilled that we can do so on a global scale now with SoftwareONE.  I look forward to contributing our experience and capabilities around App Development and Modernization, DevOps/Digital Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to the SoftwareONE portfolio all over the world.”
