Software Mind is proud to report that number8, the Kentucky-based consulting and IT staffing company, will begin operating under the Software Mind name. This development further solidifies Software Mind’s presence in the Unites States and Latin America, deepens a global talent pool and increases the company’s ability to deliver high-quality technology experts and domain consultants to clients throughout the Americas.
Acquired by Software Mind in March 2024, number8 has been empowering organizations with consulting and IT staffing services for over 25 years. With a proven track record of boosting performance and accelerating time to market, number8’s Agile methodologies and staff augmentation have supported startups, Fortune 100 companies and international corporations across industries, including consumables, fintech, healthcare, professional services, retail and tech services.
Though only six months removed from this acquisition, the combination of number8 and Software Mind capabilities has already resulted in wide-ranging, complimentary consulting services to both existing offers. Software Mind’s drive to develop and evolve expertise in expansive industry verticals including telecom, financial services, real estate, EdTech, media and gaming has been greatly enhanced by number8 specialists who have a proven track record in these industries. Beyond consultancy, number8 strengthens Software Mind’s already robust artificial intelligence capabilities and brings real-world data science expertise, especially as regards data engineering and analytics.
For potential clients, the consolidation and expansion of Software Mind further establishes the brand as leader in building globally distributed, high-performance teams in the right geolocations to maximize support and meet client needs. Software Mind’s increased ability to recruit and staff throughout Europe, the United States and Latin America ensures clients get the swift expertise, flexibility and resources to compete in dynamically changing times.
This is the fifth successful acquisition Software Mind has achieved since 2021 and reflects the company’s dynamic expansion into new markets and industries. Just like number8, the previously acquired companies also rebranded and operate under the Software Mind name. Along with strengthening Software Mind’s position in the American market, the addition of number8 increases it’s US-based ventures to just under 50% of the company’s revenue.
According to Grzegorz Młynarczyk, Software Mind CEO, Extending the Software Mind name to number8 is the next logical step on our journey to build one global team. The smooth integration of number8 specialists into our company over the last six months has greatly increased our capacity to quickly give our clients nearshore and onshore support. The local knowledge and proven expertise in a range of industries strengthens our offer and boosts our on the ground presence in the US, so we can deliver even more value for clients throughout the Americas.
Oliver Ray, CEO and Managing Director of number8, shares Młynarczyk’s enthusiasm. Since being acquired by Software Mind, our engineers and consultants have been able to work closely with a global team that’s eager to share their knowledge and learn from our experiences. We’re excited to begin this next phase of our story with teammates who share our passion and values. Augmenting our software development services with the resources and know-how of domain experts will create opportunities for our team, and our clients.
This latest rebranding is just one part of Software Mind’s growth strategy to bolster its presence in global markets, access top talent with niche skills and support organizations across industries in implementing emerging technologies. By adopting the Software Mind name, number8’s social media communications will be transitioned into Software Mind North America.
