Studio Storti

What Studio Storti does

Studio Storti Srl is an Italian IT company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Torri di Quartesolo (Vicenza), Italy. The company operates as an Italian subsidiary of the multinational Zextras Group, specializing in open-source IT solutions targeted at Italian Public Administration entities. Its core offerings comprise two product lines: Zextras Carbonio, an open-source email and collaboration platform providing email, productivity, chat, video chat, document editing, and shared workspaces; and Data Protection Manager (DPM), proprietary GDPR compliance software that automates regulatory obligations under EU Regulation 2016/679. Services are delivered through two deployment models — an on-premise flat-rate all-inclusive contract covering ordinary, extraordinary, and evolutionary activities, and a managed cloud service hosted on AWS EMEA infrastructure within the European Union with native antispam and antivirus, 24/7 monitoring, and second-level help desk. Supporting offerings include migration from proprietary stacks (Microsoft Exchange, Google Workspace), integration, training, and ongoing technical support.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market reinforced by official presence in the AgID Cloud Marketplace and the ACN Catalogo delle Infrastrutture digitali e dei Servizi cloud, both of which are regulated procurement channels for Italian Public Administrations under the 2019 Cloud First mandate. Studio Storti holds AgID SaaS qualification (since 2019), ACN qualification, AWS Technology Partner status (since 2019), and ISO 9001, 27001, 27017, and 27018 certifications. Documented migrations include approximately 3,000 users for a municipality in Emilia-Romagna (mid-2020), more than 1,200 users from Microsoft Exchange for a Campania municipality (end-2022), and 1,200 users from Google Workspace for an inter-municipal union. The company serves over 400 Italian Public Administrations and has 11-50 employees.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscriptions for Zextras Carbonio (both on-premise and cloud), recurring subscriptions for DPM, managed cloud services billed on resource consumption, and project-based professional services for migration, integration, training, and support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; on-premise contracts are multi-year flat-rate all-inclusive agreements, while cloud services are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis tied to AWS resource consumption. Customer engagement is direct via the company website and a dedicated assistance portal, supplemented by marketplace-mediated procurement through AgID and ACN channels.
