About Us
Holistic has its humble beginnings as a partnership between Mr. Simon Bonanno and Mr. Evan Camilleri, two IT graduate friends in 1994. Operating under the name Holistic Technologies, the objective of the partnership was to provide integrated systems solutions to meet customer needs and cater for the ever increasing demand of IT Outsourcing. The main focus was also to contribute innovative approaches using technology, business process design and people development.
Holistic Software is the sub division of Holistic which is responsible for the research of the latest software techniques as well as the development of custom and off the shelf software solutions. Formerly known as Holistic Research & Development (HRD), this division was set up to meet the increase in demand of IT Outsourcing, whereby several companies started to recognise the need to outsource their IT systems to third party software houses - a trend that has always been on the increase ever since.
In fact, most of the middle market firms and even smaller companies, are outsourcing their IT needs. With high productivity levels, a skilled workforce , excellent pricing and an robust infrastructure backed by a tradition of stability, Malta is a low risk option an international business centre and an excellent outsourcing location.
