Kepler-Rominfo

What Kepler-Rominfo does

Kepler-Rominfo S.A. is a Romanian IT services and product company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Bucharest. It is the only Atlassian Expert in Romania (since 2008) and provides custom software development, dedicated development teams, Data Warehouse and ERP/CRM implementation, legacy system maintenance (including rare stacks such as Cobol, AS/400, and Informatica), and 24/7 monitoring services to enterprise clients across banking, telecom, automotive, pharmaceutical, energy, chemical, food & beverage, aviation, and culture verticals. The company reports 200+ high-level software consultants (Kepler standalone) and 1,000+ consultants across ALTEN Romania (which acquired Kepler in October 2016), serving 300+ global clients across 1,000+ projects.

Its proprietary technology layer centers on the SIL (Simple Issue Language) scripting language and a suite of JIRA add-ons sold through the Atlassian Marketplace: JJUPIN (a 'Swiss-army knife' workflow scripting engine), JJUPIN Agile, Blitz Actions, KIWI (workflow migration tool), Rights DNA (permission management), KCF PRO (picker custom field), UGP Pro, and DBCF. Beyond JIRA plugins, Kepler maintains domain-specialized solutions including ROMAWOS (a certified Automated Weather Observing System deployed across all 17 Romanian civil airports), SMS communication platforms, KR Trumpet (enterprise web presence), and Consult Station (telemedicine deployed in 7 countries).

Kepler generates revenue through four streams: (1) project-based custom software development and staff augmentation (largest stream), (2) annual subscription licensing of proprietary JIRA add-ons via the Atlassian Marketplace (e.g., JJUPIN priced $10–$6,000/year by user tier), (3) Atlassian consulting, implementation, configuration, and training, and (4) Atlassian product resale/licensing. The firm is sales-led, with dedicated business development managers and direct enterprise outreach, supplemented by annual Kepler-Atlassian Day events, website CTAs ('Request a Quote', 'Schedule a Meeting'), and a referral-driven Marketplace channel. Two-thirds of turnover comes from clients known for over 5 years, signaling a retention-led revenue model rather than land-and-expand. Since October 2016, Kepler has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ALTEN Group, gaining access to international sales infrastructure spanning 20 countries.
