Callataÿ & Wouters signs agreement with Sopra Group to form major European banking software company.
Callataÿ & Wouters is proud to announce a new step in the company’s growth. After three decades of consecutive growth, especially poignant in the past few years, Callataÿ & Wouters was looking to increase its scope even further. On February 16, the company signed an agreement with the banking software business of France’s Sopra Group, entailing the formation of a new entity. Its product offering will consist of Callataÿ & Wouters’ flagship Thaler solution, augmented with Sopra Group’s Evolan software packages.
“The combined size, expertise, customer base and know-how of the new company will allow us to achieve a strong, strategic leadership position in Europe. Our expanded scope, including a workforce of 1.200 people and an aggregate reference list of hundreds of customers worldwide, will also enable us to serve our markets better,” comments Marc De Groote, CEO of Callataÿ & Wouters, “At the same time, we keep all strengths that Callataÿ & Wouters already had, and are determined to continue our 100% implementation track record.”
Neither partner is planning to proceed rashly. “We will base our integration especially on business opportunities where we see the synergy between our Thaler and Evolan,” adds Mr. De Groote, “What’s especially important here is that Callataÿ & Wouters and Sopra Group banking software business share a company culture in general, and have a lot of values in common when it comes down to customer focus and dedication in particular.”
