DataArt

History

DataArt was founded in New York City in 1997 by Eugene Goland, who continues to serve as Co-Founder & CEO. The company opened its first international office in London in 2001, achieved Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status in 2007, and joined the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine in 2011.

In 2014, DataArt acquired AW Systems and established a development center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A pivotal moment came between 2018 and 2019 when Da Vinci Capital and the German development finance institution DEG made strategic investments, partly motivated by the company’s large engineering workforce in Ukraine. In 2021, DataArt expanded into Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, and Georgia, and acquired Armenian software developer SFL. The following year, it left the Russian market after the invasion of Ukraine and acquired Lola Tech in Romania.

In 2023, DataArt opened offices in India and Mexico, and was named one of Newsweek’s Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces. In 2024, it was recognized as a leader in IAOP’s Global Outsourcing 100 and launched an Advanced AI Strategy Consulting Service. That year also saw a $75 million minority growth investment from FTV Capital. In June 2025, the company announced a $100 million commitment to advance its data and AI capabilities.
