Sirma to acquire a majority stake in Australia’s Jucari Global

On 13 August, Sirma signed a Share Purchase Agreement and a Shareholders’ Agreement to acquire 51% of the share capital of Jucari Global Pty Ltd, a supply chain and logistics technology specialist headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, and a WiseTech Global Platinum Service Partner and business partner with deep expertise in the CargoWise platform. The transaction is a key step in strengthening Sirma’s global supply chain and logistics business—combining Jucari Global’s industry and CargoWise expertise with Sirma’s capabilities in enterprise technology, software engineering, data, and artificial intelligence—and materially strengthens the Group’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region; it formalizes a relationship already tested with customers, the two companies having exhibited together for the first time at Multimodal 2026 in the UK, showing FreightGO and OpsIQ to freight forwarders and logistics providers. Completion remains subject to the satisfaction of the agreed conditions precedent, and a further announcement will follow in due course.

On 3 August, the annual Top 100 ICT x Digitalk 101 ranking of Bulgaria’s largest information and communication technology companies placed Sirma 25th—two positions higher than the previous year—with placements across the ranking’s specialist categories: 24th among the fastest-growing companies; 20th among the most dynamic companies; 9th among systems integrators and 4th among hardware integrators; 17th among software companies and 6th among packaged software licensers; and 18th among ICT exporters.

Sirma Travel and Hospitality joins the AI Hospitality Alliance

On 29 July, three Sirma experts were appointed to workstream committees of the AI Hospitality Alliance (AIHA), a vendor-neutral industry initiative advancing responsible AI adoption across global hospitality through shared frameworks, standards, and best practices, where Sirma joins providers such as Apaleo, Cloudbeds, and Cendyn in shaping how AI is governed and integrated in the sector. “AI will only deliver its full potential if the hospitality industry builds it on shared standards and open collaboration,” said Darko Bosancic, SVP Travel & Hospitality at Sirma; the appointment gives Sirma a direct hand in standards work that will shape the interoperability and security requirements its own hospitality customers face and brings the company’s practical experience with Sirma.AI Enterprise into a process that might otherwise stay theoretical.

A new Careers website

Sirma has launched a new Careers website at careers.sirma.com, bringing together in one place the open positions across the Group’s teams, employee stories and insights, and information on culture, values, benefits, and career development. Great technology starts with great people, and the site is built so that candidates can understand who Sirma is, what it does, and how they can become part of the team before they apply. For investors it is a small but relevant part of the growth story: the Group’s expansion plans—organic and through acquisitions such as Jucari Global—depend on its ability to attract and retain engineering talent.

Also worth noting

Two items from around the Group during the period. Our subsidiary EngView Systems exhibited at FuturePrint in São Paulo from 14 to 17 July together with partner Megagraphic, demonstrating a complete packaging workflow that combines printing and cutting equipment with EngView software — an example of how the Group’s specialist software businesses reach new markets through partner channels. Separately, Sirma continued its partnership with RaizUp as part of Cohort 5 of the Revenue Leadership Program, which brings together hospitality leaders around revenue management, operations, guest experience and AI.

Sirma’s Strategic Choice for Enterprise AI Growth in Europe

CEO Tsvetan Alexiev argues that European AI leadership will not be settled by whoever has the most powerful model but by the companies that build secure ecosystems and the right partnerships around it. He describes Sirma’s shift from standalone solutions to integrated platforms—with Sirma.AI Enterprise as a no-code/low-code environment aimed at regulated sectors—and presents the STACKIT alliance, with sovereign cloud infrastructure owned by the Schwarz Group, as the concrete mechanism that lets finance, healthcare, logistics, and public-sector organizations deploy AI while keeping data and compliance inside European jurisdiction.

The Cloud Didn’t Replace the DBA — It Elevated the Role

Cloud adoption has not made database administrators redundant; it has changed what they are accountable for. With infrastructure maintenance absorbed by automation and managed services, the modern DBA’s job in regulated environments is accountability, control, and resilience—and the article makes the case that there is a real gap between a system that has been configured correctly and one that has been proven to work under failure conditions. DORA, NIS2, PCI-DSS, and GDPR turn that distinction into an audit question, and Sirma positions its backup testing, access-control auditing, and data-governance services in exactly that layer between what is configured and what is evidenced.

Healthcare Delivery Must Begin Before the Doctor Walks In

Dejan Nenov, SVP Healthcare at Sirma, argues that the pressure on health systems is best relieved at the front of the patient journey rather than in the consulting room. Highly qualified clinicians spend a substantial share of their time on history-taking, document reconciliation, and data entry; agentic AI can run structured intake beforehand, capture symptoms, medications, allergies, and risk factors, and hand the physician a verified summary. He is explicit that such systems—exemplified by Sirma.AI and Medrec:M Clinic—must be human in the loop by design, with clinical accountability and transparency preserved throughout.

The Real Work of Healthcare Happens Before the Exam Room

The companion use case sets out how this is actually built. Sirma redesigns pre-consultation workflows with agentic AI conducting an AI-led interview that translates patient language into structured clinical information and produces a physician-ready summary for verification before the appointment begins. The stack combines the Sirma.AI platform and Medrec:M Clinic with transformer-based models, named entity recognition, and risk-flagging on HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure integrated with existing EHR systems. Priority deployments are intake, follow-ups, and chronic disease monitoring, measured on administrative time per encounter, patient journey length, speed of risk escalation, and clinician satisfaction—with higher autonomy reserved for low-risk, repetitive tasks.
