**Few words about SPD-Ukraine**

At SPD-Ukraine, great people create great software. Our story started in 2004, when two Java developers, Bogdan and Alex, met. They both wanted to carry on the software development business differently — to be reliable partners for clients.

In 2006, Bogdan and Alex founded SPD-Ukraine (SPD means Software Product Development). They gathered people who wanted to create great software, and in 2009 the team was made up of 90 people.

Our trusted partners are: PitchBook, Morningstar, GoDaddy, Pie Insurance, floLIVE, HomeHub, Space Needle, Appsec Phoenix Platform.
