Our history
City Hall Illustrations.
First steps and further success
It all began with a small web studio named City Hall Illustrations (CHI), a team of ten enthusiasts, and a desire to create something exciting. The company started off as a digital agency providing UI/UX design and frontend development services for the local market.
In two years, we expanded our tech stack and expertise areas – the company started to grow. Soon after that, City Hall Illustrations turned into CHI Software Development Center.
Rapid progress. Backend era
Three years after the start, we became competent in Ruby, Python, Java, .NET, C++, and JavaScript – this is what we call our backend era. Strictly speaking, it has never ended since then because now we have separate departments for each of these programming languages.
During the same period, we started to explore new markets and, as a result, cooperate with clients from neighboring countries. It allowed us to grow our team from 10 to 30 people and strengthen our technical prowess.
New ground. Mobile & embedded era
The time has come to push our boundaries and go beyond web development. We enriched our expertise with mobile and embedded app development services. Our team continued to grow and now counted 50+ experts.
At this stage, we decided to share our experience and help young talents and beginners in the sphere. CHI launched the first corporate internship program with in-house mentors for students and postgraduates. This initiative aimed to bring up and educate our team and enlarge the local IT community.
Discovering the markets: the US, Israel, and Western Europe countries
Our team was reinforced with more technical and non-technical specialists: QA engineers, business analysts, BI developers along with managers in various spheres (HR, sales, project management, and account management).
It allowed the company to explore new foreign markets: in the US, Europe, and Israel. Consequently, we opened our first foreign representative centers there and started to strengthen our international partnerships. At this point, CHI Software counted 200 experts.
Providing new services and keeping up with tech trends
Our new offerings to clients included full-stack development and quality DevOps services. We continued to aim high, and for this reason, we started to look into innovative technologies, such as big data, computer vision, and machine learning.
The expanded range of services required more development forces, so in 2017, our team had 350+ experts on board.
Growing our clients network: entering Asian and Scandinavian markets
Two years later, CHI Software had three development centers in Ukrainian cities and continued to establish new international cooperations with clients in the Nordic countries. It should be specially noted that our team entered the Asian market for the first time by partnering with Japanese businesses.
Meanwhile, we strengthened our skills and knowledge in cloud computing. Several of our developers received AWS and Microsoft certifications, while the company became a Microsoft Gold Partner.
Company today
15 years have passed, and the company has grown from 10 to 600+ specialists. CHI Software is open to the world: we have five development centers in Eastern Europe and five more representatives in the USA, Western Europe, and Asia.
At this point, we can cope with a multitude of development challenges, as our team members are specialists of any level and specialization. With 16 engineering and 5 product support teams, we cover the whole development cycle and any of its stages separately.
Our core offering now is building complex software for various industries, including but not limited to retail, fintech, insurtech, travel, and logistics. We realize that such sophisticated solutions must be supported by the highest quality standards, so we actively work in this direction.
Thus, at the end of 2021, CHI Software became an ISO-certified company (ISO 27001 and ISO 9001) to ensure the quality level of our services meets the latest industry requirements and our clients’ expectations on a global level. At the beginning of 2022, we received the status of the AWS Partner, putting our cloud computing services on a higher quality level.
The list of our clients and partners includes Vodafone, and many more reputable businesses worldwide.
Leadership
We will help you
No matter what type of solutions we build, quality is a fundamental factor that helps our clients and their products keep up with the market competition. Quality in everything we do is our number one priority that motivates and inspires each of our departments.
We’ve never been afraid of changing industry trends and yet unknown but ambitious innovative tools and technologies. On the contrary – they drive our company’s accomplishments and shape the focus
of our activities and business strategy.
Long-term success should go hand in hand with open business communication. It refers to both our internal and external workflows: by speaking directly to one another, we provide openness to our clients and partners.
