Obtaining such a high status was preceded by painstaking work and the implementation of a number of metrics confirming the professional level of engineers, as well as a number of successfully completed projects with a full range of services.

During 2023, Softprom implemented 4 Enterprise projects, each of which lasted more than six months and included all stages of infrastructure migration to the cloud. Leading Ukrainian companies in such segments as banks, retail, and digital technologies became participants in the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP).
