What started as a bootstrapped tech venture in 2015 has blossomed into something few could have predicted. Digis, now a major player in the global technology sector, has grown from its humble beginnings to employ more than 200 IT specialists across six countries – and shows no signs of slowing down.
The story behind this remarkable growth begins with Nick Nagatkin, who took an unusual path by founding Digis when he was just 19 years old. His bold move paid off. Nagatkin’s innovative approach to tech leadership recently earned him spots on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Europe Tech 2022 list and landed him WN Media Group UK’s CEO of the Year 2023 award. These days, when he’s not steering Digis toward new horizons, you’ll find him mentoring at Big Money University or scouting promising startups as an active investor.
The numbers tell a compelling story: Digis achieved an impressive 100% year-over-year growth in 2021 and kept up the momentum through 2022. But perhaps more telling was the company’s nimble response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within weeks, Digis managed to shift 80% of its workforce to remote operations without missing a beat – a feat that proved crucial for what came next.
At the heart of Digis’s success lies its patented Smart Outsourcing Automation Paradigm. It’s not just another tech buzzword; this comprehensive framework has revolutionized how the company approaches business integration and process automation. This innovation proved particularly valuable during the economic headwinds of 2023, as clients increasingly sought ways to optimize operations without sacrificing quality.
The company’s service offerings have evolved to meet changing market demands, now spanning:
- Staff Augmentation and Dedicated Teams
- IT Consulting and Digital Transformation
- Custom Software Development
- Intelligent Automation Solutions
- Managed IT Services
Talk about being selective – Digis maintains an almost impossibly high bar for talent, accepting only the top 3.5% of developers who apply. They’re so confident in their vetting process that they offer a 24-hour candidate CV delivery guarantee and a two-week trial period for new specialists. It’s a bold move that seems to be paying off.
The proof is in the pudding: 35% of clients come back asking for additional specialists within just three months of their initial engagement. On Clutch, where reviews can make or break a tech company’s reputation, Digis boasts over 74 verified reviews. Perhaps most impressively, seven out of nine clients say they’d happily recommend Digis to others – no small feat in an industry where loyalty is hard to come by.
In a strategic move that raised eyebrows across the industry, Digis invested in Scalamandra in 2023. This specialized Scala engineering firm, founded by Elijah Podavalkin during the uncertainty of 2020, has proved to be a perfect complement to Digis’s expanding portfolio of services.
Under the hood, Digis maintains specialized departments for front-end development, back-end development, mobile applications, and UI/UX design. Each team consistently pulls in impressive 4.8 out of 5 ratings on Clutch – numbers that would make any tech company proud.
The company’s client roster reads like a who’s who of global business: HubSpot, BlaBlaCar, PwC, RakBank, and CIBC, to name a few. But what’s particularly interesting is how Digis has managed to maintain its appeal across the board, from scrappy startups to established corporations and everything in between.
