Our company
Who we are
Olidata made its debut in Cesena in 1982 as a Software House specializing in accounting solutions, soon becoming one of the main European players in Information Technology and Office Automation products and services. Over time, it has become a major service provider in both the public and private sectors, with hundreds of thousands of hardware and software systems installed in Europe and Latin America.
In 1999 Olidata was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. Since 2004 it has expanded into foreign markets: Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, England, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and North Africa. In June 2014, Le Fonti Capital Partner S.r.l. acquired a majority stake in the company. In 2019, following expansions and acquisitions, a new business plan set the objective of making Olidata the first fully listed European company dedicated to the theme of Digital Transformation and the Internet Paradigm.
Cristiano Rufini, former Chairman of Sferanet S.r.l., became the largest shareholder of Olidata S.p.A. in 2022 and on 3 April 2023, ending a 7-year hiatus, he relaunched the company on the Euronext Milan stock exchange. On August 1 2024, the merger of Sferanet srl into Olidata SpA took place.
Currently, the Olidata Group is configured as a synergistic network of several companies, each operating in its own sphere of activity, but converging towards a common mission.
