What Apiumhub does

Apiumhub is a Barcelona-based software development and consulting firm founded in 2014, historically focused narrowly on software architecture services. Its core offering helps organizations facing performance, scalability, and maintainability challenges in growing software systems — providing architectural clarity, technical quality, and sustainable scalability for clients whose small changes have grown increasingly complex and impacted stability and delivery speed. The company has positioned itself as a specialized boutique rather than a generalist development shop, with a small team (11–50 employees) concentrated on architecture excellence.

The company's business model is project-based consulting — there is no public pricing model, no disclosed customers, and no productized offering beyond professional services. Revenue mechanics are not disclosed, and customer segmentation data points to a horizontal use-case approach targeting any organization with maturing software systems. As of 2025, Apiumhub was acquired by Plain Concepts, a global digital transformation leader. The brand is transitioning to Plain Concepts while the same team continues operating. Under the new structure, the service portfolio has expanded materially to include AI Transformation & Adoption, Software Engineering, Data and Analytics, Cybersecurity & AI Security, Infrastructure & Cloud, and AI Product Evolution Navigator — effectively repositioning the unit from a niche architecture consultancy into a broader end-to-end digital engineering capability within a larger platform.

Leadership comprises CEO Evgeny Predein, Founder and Head Software Architect Christian Ciceri, Product Owner Felix G. Rios, and Lead Data Scientist Gema Parreño. The company is now a subsidiary operating under Plain Concepts' strategic ownership, with its Barcelona base and architecture expertise serving as a specialized capability within the parent's global portfolio.
