The Estonian IT company Uptime, operating in Estonia, Norway, Denmark and Switzerland, acquired the GateOne software development company in North Macedonia, expanding to the market there.

Uptime took part in the Taltech Internship Cafe on March and got together with a lot of practical students who were looking for IT practice/internship. Many young people who visited us at the Taltech Internship Café are those who no longer want to jump from one challenge to another, and questions about whether they can only work part-time or work abroad are asked much less. At the same time, we are a bit behind the rest of the world in some cases.
ABB Drives factory needed software to manage employee skills and training, to take account of working hours, to keep track of costs, and to produce quality control reports. To do this, Uptime developed a solution consisting of four business modules.
Uptime teams meet every winter, in addition to other activities, on a two-day ‘winter days’ retreat, bringing together people from both Tallinn, Tartu, Norway and Denmark at the beginning of the year.

Every day we can read news about modern phones, speakers, headphones, or washing machines that allegedly contain artificial intelligence (AI). Do we really have thinking machines already?

IT developer´s work may look like just sitting behind the computer, but in fact it’s exciting and something interesting happens every workday. 12th grade student of Suure-Jaani High School Taavi Lipp was following the work of the Uptime developers Siim and Liis.

Software development company Uptime, which operates in Estonia, Norway, Switzerland and Macedonia, invested on the Danish market by acquiring 51% stake in West Soft Development A / S at the beginning of July 2018.
The main results of joining the forces are investments for expanding the company in region and better service for clients with more resources.
Like every summer, before the big holiday season, we once again met the results of the past year and looked at our customers how they were satisfied with the services of Uptime.
The results were good in the previous survey and customers are largely satisfied with our work, but it does not mean that in the meantime, we are not looking for ways to further improve ourselves.
