In August 2023, a significant milestone was reached in Romania’s National Lottery landscape with the introduction of our platform joaca.loto.ro. This platform represents a crucial step forward in enhancing and modernizing the ticket purchasing experience for the Romanian National Lottery’s most popular games 6/49, 5/40, and Joker.

Our dedicated team behind this platform has one primary goal: to make this process more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. joaca.loto.ro offers users an array of options, such as selecting their preferred numbers or trying their luck with the “Quick Pick” feature, all available conveniently online, directly through our website.

Since its official launch in August, joaca.loto.ro has garnered significant attention from online lottery enthusiasts across the nation. In just its first month, the platform managed to captivate a staggering number of eager players of Romanian National Lottery games. This remarkable development marks a historic moment in the lottery’s 117-year history, as it expands into the online, thanks to a platform developed by TEC Software Solutions.

We were privileged to be invited to the prestigious Plenipotentiary Conference – the highest policy-making body of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The conference is held every four years and is the key event where the 193 ITU Member States decide on the future role of the organization and its global strategic policies affecting information and communication technologies worldwide.

TEC was invited because we are one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Romania and leaders in ITU’s strategic sectors of healthcare and fintech. Of relevance was TEC’s expertise in “financial inclusion, fintech, and digital currencies” and track record of creating fintech apps in the Middle East that facilitate the universal accessibility of financial services. Traian Rus, TEC CEO, commented, “Our invitation is another confirmation of the value we bring to the global delivery of these digital services in strategic sectors.”

We had many interesting conversations with delegates about our insights into how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital financial inclusion to be a key facilitator for eradicating poverty and promoting equitable prosperity.

We also learned more about ITU’s exciting platforms to research cybersecurity issues for digital finance and global regulatory challenges brought by digital currencies, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.

The highlights of the many exciting meetings included Damian Collins, Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy. Mr Andrew Noble, British Ambassador to Romania, Bucharest and Abdullah Alswaha, Minister of Communications and Information Technology of Saudi Arabia, H.E. Mr Eric Lebédel-Delumeau, Ambassador and Gilles Brégant, CEO of ANFR.

Finally, we would like to sincerely thank Sabin Sărmaș, President of the Information Technology and Communications Committee, Romanian Parliament, and Chairman of ITUPP22, and his team. It is an honour to have a Cluj resident from the IT sector serve as chairman for a conference of such global scope. We are eager to see what the upcoming days hold.

Digital transformation continues to disrupt the world of business and bring change to consumer expectations. Looking at how quickly Airbnb challenged travel or how Uber redefined the taxi experience, we know that not investing in a digital experience is as catastrophic as Blockbuster failing to foresee a Netflix style service.

Sports and live events are no less insulated with technology driving transformative distribution in areas like ticketing and more disruption on the horizon. Through this lens, we have prepared a new whitepaper that examines three of the biggest tech trends that will redefine the sports and live events sector. Some are here now, having been accelerated by COVID. Others are rapidly evolving to solve long-standing issues that make event attendance safer and more accessible.

Hello there, I am Andu, the young HR that singles out people to fit in with the TEC tribe to keep the fire burning. Don’t be deceived by my age – I’ve always felt like an old man in a young man’s body, mostly because of the myriad of heavy books I read, the fact that I instantly click with seniors, and that I get triggered easily if you disturb my silence (hehe).

By now (I’m in my mid-twenties) I’ve attempted a career in programming, ended up studying and working in civil engineering, dabbled in the world of NGOs, and today, here I am at TEC working as an HR consultant (strike a pose!). It may look a bit haphazard, but I really feel like I have found my place here. Here’s why. All along my sharp-angled path through life, there has been one constant – martial arts. This is where I got most of my life values and principles in life. In my daily evening training, I am surrounded by a lot of mindful, cool-headed, strong-willed but humble people and I naturally searched for the same pattern in my work life.

While most sports are about competition and results, martial arts are more about self-discovery and personal growth. I somehow assumed that the world of IT was the same, with different arenas, different things at stake.  I was really searching for something authentic, something inspiring to help me grow some wings. When my boss showed up at my first interview dressed in a strappy yellow T-shirt, he checked my “authentic” box. Then, learning about some of my colleagues that were moving mountains in their projects, fired my inspiration.

Last but not least, I first felt my wings spread when I was given the freedom to spread across multiple tasks and discover what I am good at.

That’s me in a nutshell.  I know I said I love my silence but don’t hesitate to poke me if you want to know me better. I’m really warm and friendly by nature and who knows, maybe I can talk you into taking up Wing Chun ;).

Hi, I’m Daniel, I was born on April’s fool day in Romania probably because the stork wanted to play a trick on me, not dropping me off in Italy as the initial plan was. Let me explain. Ever since I was born, I’ve been driving people crazy with my hand gestures and enthusiasm no matter the subject I was going in. 

Then my frenzy for “Cucina Italiana”:  fusilli, spaghetti, tortellini have always been my delight and weak spot, so much so that everytime me and my friends bet on something, they ask me to stay away from pasta for a week – I usually lose. For the record – I can cook as many as fourteen types of pasta with my eyes closed and people report finger-licking experiences. I also have a whole ritual of breakfast that involves a particular type of brewed cappuccino, mozzarella di buffola with tomatoes and sometimes a spread of pesto which I love to share. 

 Just like any Italian, I’m crazy about football. That’s not to say that Romanians are not, but I think I am taking it a bit further – afterall, I broke a TV once when my team lost, you know. 

My friends call me excessively trim and fashionable, a shirt always makes me feel in my element. I tend to overdress most of the time and people sometimes frown upon it but hey, it’s the Italian in me who wants to come out.

What fascinates me the most about Italians is the cult of the sturdy, well-done work, whether it’s a building or a bridge, a suit or a song. I guess that’s why I really love my job as a quality assurance engineer here in TEC, because I can pull strings and tweak things to make the end result just perfect. 

That’s me in a nutshell. Ping me if you doubt my cooking skills and want proof of it or if you want to lose a football or a tennis match :P. I am quite competitive by nature, extroverted, hyperactive and a bit crazy but I can be a good colleague and friend.
