We just switched up our main Facebook page photo with a spectacular photo of a place that can’t be found anywhere in the world. And rightly so.
The view is a unique one that is significant to us, here at Investintech, and it comes with a little bit of background we thought would help give the photo some context.
You may not know it, but Investintech.com was founded as a finance related startup in early 2000 in Toronto, Ontario. The company was started by a small group of people just barely out of college who wanted to develop a platform that would enable professionals to be more efficient with financial reports.
The original start up faced a number of issues and challenges, and consequently, the focus after three years of hard work shifted towards data extraction from PDF files. On December 1, 2003, Able2Extract v.2.0 was released. For the next four years, Investintech.com steadily grew, gradually developing more products such as Able2Doc, Absolute Server, and Sonic PDF Creator.
As business operations became more complex, the company opened an office in Belgrade, Serbia in 2007. Today that office is filled with more than 20 great colleagues and hard working individuals we are proud to have as members of the Investintech team.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
What you are looking at in the photo is the Investintech view from two different parts of the world, bridging the geographical gap between both offices. You can see our Toronto headquarters facing our Belgrade counterpart in the awesome photo mashup our design team put together.
The photo represents two very iconic and distinct landmarks. You may already be familiar with the CN Tower skyline located in downtown Toronto. The foreground, however, is from Belgrade. It depicts the plateau on which the statue of “The Victor,” the protector of Belgrade, stands. It resides in the part of the Kalemegdan medieval fortress that is the core and the oldest section of Belgrade. It stands on the cliff like ridge overlooking the confluence of the Sava River into the Danube. (Read more: http://bit.ly/4lD8Mm)
