+=== About '''Astea Solutions''' ===
+Astea Solutions AD was formed in 2007 to leverage its founders’ deep experience with Bulgaria and access to well trained software developers working with the most advanced technologies to create a high growth software development company.
+
+Astea designs and develops proprietary and open source software products with global market potential in the electronic publishing field. The company works closely with Sofia University’s Faculty for Mathematics and Informatics and Laboratory for Interactive Multimedia. The oldest higher education institution in Bulgaria, Sofia University is also the country’s largest with 14,000 students. Additionally, Astea provides a full spectrum of bespoke software development services including custom programming, testing, graphic design, technical documentation and turnkey systems. Much of its service work involves companies and projects in the online publishing domain. 
+
+Bulgaria is now internationally recognized as an exceptional source of highly qualified technical talent and many of the United States and Europe’s leading technology companies have opened substantial research and development centers in Bulgaria. Astea’s founders see a rare opportunity to engage Bulgaria’s best and brightest to establish a market beachhead in certain emerging technologies that will provide major global sales opportunities. Astea has focused its initial activities on the open source market segment with a special focus on university, publishing, and research-oriented applications.
