Deloitte Romania assisted Digmatix, a Latvia-based regional provider of Microsoft Business Applications solutions, in the acquisition of Elian Solutions, one of Romania’s leading companies specialized in the implementation of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central solution, and part of the Bittnet Systems Group.
The transaction marks Digmatix’s entry on the Romanian market and the consolidation of its position as a regional leader in the delivery and implementation of Microsoft Business Applications solutions.
“This acquisition directly executes our strategy. We have been expanding our Microsoft Business Applications footprint across CEE, and we knew that entering Romania correctly meant finding the strongest team already operating there. Elian Solutions is exactly that – top Microsoft-recommended partner in Romania, 250+ implementations, certified localization, and strong revenue growth for last couple of years. Integrating their team into Digmatix strengthens every Business Central engagement we take on across the group. And for our 1,000+ existing clients, it means a materially more complete Microsoft Business Applications partner. We are raising the ceiling on what we can deliver,” said Rinalds Sluckis, Group CEO of Digmatix.

The financial advisory team involved in the project considered of Radu Dumitrescu, Advisory Partner-in-Charge, Vlad Bălan, Director, Laura Necșuliu, Manager, Laurențiu Popescu, Senior Associate, and Bianca Tămăslăcaru, Associate.

We are pleased to have supported Digmatix in a highly complex project involving the integration of two entities – Elian Solutions and its subsidiary, Elian Development – and to have contributed to a transaction that lays the foundation for the development of platforms with an increasingly broad footprint across Central and Eastern Europe," said Radu Dumitrescu, Advisory Partner-in-Charge, Deloitte Romania.
