Abstracta, the Uruguay-headquartered software testing firm, has opened a new office in London. The move is designed to strengthen the company's partnerships with businesses in the technology, telecoms, healthcare and financial sectors within the UK and across Europe. This expansion, it says, positions Abstracta as the “only boutique, independent, pure-play software testing and R&D company with a presence in North America, Europe and South America”.
The company has previously established an office in San Francisco, California after expanding to the US market in 2016. It has two locations in Uruguay, with its global headquarters in Montevideo.
"The decision to expand into the UK and open a fourth office in Europe was a logical step in our business growth strategy," said Matias Reina, co-founder and global CEO of Abstracta. "We have wanted to expand to the UK for a while as we know it is a very mature and highly competitive market like Silicon Valley, with advanced development in AI, FinTech and several other cutting-edge technologies. We are certain that we can add real value to this rich ecosystem with our R&D capabilities in testing technologies."
Co-founder, chief technical officer and the newly appointed head of UK, Fabian Baptista, added: "Landing in the UK is a milestone for our R&D team that will enable us to interact with exciting initiatives in the DevOps landscape and a strong testing community. We will be looking for new partnerships and collaboration."
Abstracta's existing customers include CA Technologies, Santander, GeneXus, Shutterfly and BBVA Financial Group.
