Sistemi Bologna

What Sistemi Bologna does

Sistemi Bologna, operating under the legal entity Servizio Informatica S.r.l., is a regional Italian software partner of Sistemi Spa and the exclusive Italian distributor of Optimus solutions, headquartered in San Giorgio di Piano (Bologna). Founded in 1992 and operating for 35+ years, the company serves approximately 1,200 clients split between 580 professional studios (commercialisti, consulenti del lavoro, avvocati) and 620 small and medium enterprises in Emilia-Romagna and adjacent Northern Italian regions, alongside 70+ self-adhesive label manufacturers using its Optimus Etichette vertical. Its core distribution and support footprint covers the Sistemi ERP/accounting portfolio—PROFIS for accounting and tax, JOB for payroll, STUDIO for practice management, SPRING for entry-level ERP, and eSOLVER for mid-enterprise ERP—supplemented by add-on modules such as FattureWeb e-invoicing, PROFIS/az studio-company collaboration, PROFIS/Revisione audit, Analisi Crisi d'Impresa crisis-detection, Controllo di Gestione analytics, Privacy GDPR, and FiPlan Suite financial planning.

The technology architecture is a platform-plus-modules model deployable on-premise or via Sistemi's proprietary "Service Farm" cloud infrastructure (kept on Italian soil for data residency and GDPR compliance), with Sistemi AI embedded across PROFIS, eSOLVER, and SPRING since 2023 to automate accounting workflows and balance-sheet generation. The Optimus Etichette vertical adds specialized manufacturing features including Enquiry System pricing/production configurator, job cost management, production data acquisition, and JDF/OPC-UA/CSV integrations supporting Industry 4.0 certification, plus a Business Intelligence module powered by Microsoft Power BI.

The revenue model combines software resale and distribution of the Sistemi portfolio, recurring cloud subscriptions on Service Farm (often bundled with annual maintenance), implementation/consulting fees, bespoke custom development, and training/course revenue (e.g., Ripasso PROFIS Bilanci at €70 + IVA per studio). Adjacent service revenue includes Namirial digital signature reselling and Sistemi Cloud Backup. Go-to-market is direct, consultative, and event-driven: a team of commerciali runs on-premise analysis and demos, complemented by regular training courses, webinars, and the regional Sistemincontra user meetings held in Bologna, Modena, and Ferrara in collaboration with the Fondazione dei Dottori Commercialisti, which also confer CPE credits.
