History[edit]

IBA GROUP was founded in 1993 as a joint venture between IBM and local IT organizations. Since 1998, the company started opening international offices, such as IBA USA in Mountain View, California. In 1999, the IBA CZ development center was launched in Prague, Czech Republic. In 1999, IBM withdrew as a part owner of IBA, while remaining its major business partner.[9] In 2000, the IBA IT GmbH office opened in Düsseldorf, Germany.[10]

In 2005, the head office of IBA Group was opened in Prague and at the same time IBA CZ office expanded to include a branch in Brno, Czech Republic.[11] In 2010, an office was opened in Astana.[12][13] In 2012, IBA Ukraine was opened in Kyiv,[14] and in 2013, IBA South Africa was established in Johannesburg.[15]

In 2014, IBA Group joined the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP).[16]

In 2015, IBA Group opened offices in Bratislava, Slovakia.[17] In 2017, IBA CZ moved to a new office in Prague.[18] In the same year, IBA Group opened a development center in Bulgaria.[19]

In 2018, IBA Group joined the UN Global Compact network.[20] In 2021, the company became a resident of Astana Hub Technopark[21] and opened a development center in Wroclaw, Poland - IBA Poland.[22] In 2022, the company opened an office in Warsaw, Poland, and IBA ME, an office in the UAE.[23]

In 2022, the company began rebranding its Belarus-based parent.[24] Representative offices and development centers were opened in Georgia,[25] Croatia,[26] Lithuania,[27] and Serbia.[28]
