Overview
Seidor is a Spanish technology consulting company headquartered in Barcelona. Founded in Vic in 1982 by brothers Santiago and Andreu Benito, the business began by developing customised management software for small and medium-sized companies. It subsequently built a broad ecosystem of technology partnerships and expanded from software development into enterprise resource planning, infrastructure, cloud computing, data, customer experience, cybersecurity, connectivity and digital transformation. The company’s early development was closely connected to the growth of business computing in Spain. It opened a Barcelona office in 1983, created Microsistemes in 1984 to manage its microcomputer activities and began an alliance with IBM that same year. A Madrid office followed in 1991, when Seidor also began implementing standardised ERP systems rather than concentrating solely on bespoke software. Josep Benito joined the business in 1992. The company formed a strategic partnership with SAP in 1996 and also developed a long-running relationship with Microsoft. Seidor expanded its capabilities and customer base through acquisitions and alliances. Its 2003 acquisition of Saytel marked a move into the large-enterprise segment. International growth began with Chilean operations in 2005, followed by additional activity in Latin America, Portugal, Brazil, the United States, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. Crystal Solutions in Brazil, established or acquired in 2010, became an early international platform focused on data analysis. In later years, the company added or integrated businesses specialising in ERP, cloud, customer experience, application development, public-sector consulting, cybersecurity and other technology disciplines. The company’s portfolio now covers artificial intelligence, standard ERP, customer experience, employee experience, data and analytics, application modernisation, cloud, edge technology, connectivity, networking and cybersecurity. Although Seidor historically concentrated heavily on SAP ERP and infrastructure services for the midmarket, its business has diversified. The available reference material states that large corporations and public administrations account for a substantial part of its activity, alongside its continuing focus on small and medium-sized enterprises. Seidor serves a wide range of industries, including government, food and agriculture, banking and insurance, construction, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, education, automotive and aerospace, engineering, chemicals, retail, healthcare, professional services and transportation. It operates competence and innovation centres across several countries, with specialist capabilities in customer experience, artificial intelligence, data, workplace technology, cloud, application development and cybersecurity. By 2024, Seidor had approximately 10,000 employees and a direct presence in 45 countries, according to the cited company history. In August 2024, The Carlyle Group became a major shareholder. Sergi Biosca was appointed chief executive officer while Josep Benito became executive chairman. Seidor also completed or integrated several acquisitions in 2024, including Gesein, a Spanish public-sector consulting firm, strengthening its position with large accounts and public administrations. The company remains an active, privately held international technology services provider.
History
Seidor was founded in 1982 in Vic, in the province of Barcelona, by Santiago and Andreu Benito. Its original business was the creation of customised management software for small and medium-sized enterprises. The company opened a Barcelona office in 1983, which later became its global headquarters, and established Microsistemes in 1984 to manage its microcomputer business. It also began a relationship with IBM in 1984. The company broadened its geographic and technical base during the following decade. It opened its first Madrid office in 1991 and began implementing standard ERP systems, creating a business line that would remain central to its identity. Josep Benito joined in 1992. In 1996, Seidor formed a partnership with SAP, giving it a strategic platform for international growth and strengthening its position as an ERP specialist. Its alliance with Microsoft also developed during this period and was subsequently expanded. In 2003, Seidor acquired Saytel, an important step into the large-enterprise market. The company began international expansion in 2005 with operations in Chile and subsequently extended its footprint to Argentina, Mexico and Portugal. Brazil became an important market through Crystal Solutions, associated with data analysis, in 2010. Seidor later expanded into the United States and Middle East in 2013, Belgium in 2014, several African markets and the United Kingdom in 2016, Morocco in 2017, Italy in 2019, and France, China, Singapore and Andorra in 2022. Ireland, Sweden, Ethiopia and Tunisia were added to the expansion chronology in 2023. Alongside organic expansion, Seidor used acquisitions and integrations to add specialised capabilities. The available history identifies transactions involving Dispal in 2014; Clariba in the Middle East and Deusto Sistemas in Spain in 2020; NTS, Avanti 21, Metrocis and Sicnet in 2021; and a series of integrations in 2022 involving Opentrends, Impala, Valnera, Workwell, Viceri, Nectia, Valkimia, Indecs and Innovativa. In 2023, Seidor integrated or acquired businesses including Gunpowder, ECA Consult, Nubersia, Teamsoft and Little Fish. In 2024, it added Gesein, HT High Technology, B1 Solutions and Argentis to its broader group structure. The business also diversified beyond its original SAP and infrastructure focus. It entered cloud computing in 2012 and began working with international institutions and agencies, including the European Union, the United Nations and the World Bank, in 2014. In 2016, it expanded into digital transformation, cybersecurity and online education and established an AWS alliance. In 2017, it created a global SAP customer-experience competence centre with locations associated with Peru, Valencia and Taiwan. From 2021 onward, partnerships with Salesforce and Google Cloud expanded its customer-experience and cloud portfolio; a Cisco alliance in 2022 supported entry into connectivity services. From 2023, artificial intelligence and edge technologies became explicit development areas. Seidor’s current service model covers ERP, customer and employee experience, data, applications, cloud, edge, networking, connectivity, cybersecurity and AI. The company serves both midmarket businesses and larger organisations, including public administrations. Its competence centres are distributed across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, with specialist hubs for customer experience, AI, data, workplace, cloud, application development and cybersecurity. By 2024, the company reported a workforce of about 10,000 and a direct presence in 45 countries. That year, The Carlyle Group became a major shareholder, Sergi Biosca became CEO and Josep Benito became executive chairman.
