Tigra

What Tigra does

Tigra is a Hungarian IT services and software development company, founded in 1996 in Budapest and operating today as Tigra Informatika Zrt. after its October 2025 conversion from Kft. The company develops and operates more than 40 national-level IT systems for the Hungarian government, including the National Ambulance Rescue Management System (MIR, serving 21 dispatch centers and 980+ ambulances), the Electronic Population Registry (EAK), the Government Personnel Decision Support System (KSZDR), the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS for the Hungarian Police, compliant with Prüm Convention and EURODAC standards), and the Electronic Property Registry. In the commercial sector, Tigra develops and maintains the LIAS credit processing system for Budapest Bank (handling 10,000+ applications daily), the OPUS insurance core system for Allianz Hungária covering life and non-life business, and internal IT systems for Deutsche Telekom's T-Punkt retail chain. The company also launched NORUAS, a subscription-based cybersecurity monitoring service, and delivered an EU-funded Telemedicine Service Framework (SaaS/PaaS) in 2022.

Tigra's technology stack is anchored in Java EE (JSP, Spring, Hibernate), PL/SQL, Oracle RAC, IBM WebSphere, and BPMN workflow engines (Oracle BPM, JBPM), with AI-enabled features in the telemedicine platform (eye movement and speech analysis for cognitive impairment detection). The company combines custom software development with IT infrastructure design and 24/7 operations, and serves as one of the largest Hungarian distributors of HP, Oracle, and Micro Focus products. Its customer base spans central government, ministries, the police, emergency services, civil registry offices, large banks (Budapest Bank, Erste), and major insurers (Allianz). Operational footprint includes Budapest headquarters, a Munich subsidiary (Tigra IT-Solutions GMBH), and development centers in five Hungarian university cities.

Tigra generates revenue through custom software development projects, multi-year government IT system contracts won via public procurement tenders, managed infrastructure services, hardware/software distribution, and recurring cybersecurity subscriptions (NORUAS, NIS2 compliance consulting). The company reports approximately 21 billion HUF (~US$60M) in 2024 net revenue, employs more than 600 full-time staff, and is 100% Hungarian-owned under founder-CEO Vertán György, who has led the firm for nearly three decades. Revenue grew from approximately 15 billion HUF in 2023 to 21 billion HUF in 2024, reflecting roughly 40% YoY expansion, and the company has explicitly pivoted toward international expansion (Germany, APAC, Western Balkans, US) via the 2025 Zrt. restructuring.

Direct peers

• NISZ Nemzeti Infokommunikációs Szolgáltató Zrt. Hungarian state-owned national IT infrastructure and government application provider. Competes head-to-head with Tigra for central-government IT system contracts and operates many of the same kinds of national-scale e-government platforms (population, land, HR systems) that Tigra develops.
• IdomSoft Zrt. Hungarian government IT supplier in which Tigra acquired a majority stake in 2011. Operates in the same e-government, civil-registry, and central public-administration software niche and shares customer overlap with KEKKH and other central agencies — the closest direct peer in scale and product mix.
• T-Systems Hungary (Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions): Direct competitor in the Hungarian enterprise/government IT services market. Both deliver custom software development, IT infrastructure operations, and managed services to large banks, insurers, and public-sector clients in Hungary. Tigra and T-Systems Hungary are repeatedly named together in customer rosters (e.g., Deutsche Telekom/T-Punkt, Erste Bank).

Regional players

• Indra Sistemas: Spanish-headquartered IT services and systems integrator with strong government/defense and financial-services verticals across Europe. Similar mix of bespoke government system development, infrastructure operations, and vertical software solutions; comparable in size and customer profile to Tigra.
• Asseco Poland: Largest IT company in Central Europe with a similar mix of proprietary banking/insurance core systems and government software. Comparable in vertical coverage (financial services + public administration) and in size bracket; serves as the most natural regional benchmark for Tigra's potential scale and productization strategy.
• Comarch S.A. Poland-headquartered IT services and software vendor with deep banking, insurance, and government verticals. Direct comparable in product strategy (own core systems sold to financial institutions and public-sector clients) and geographic reach across Central Europe.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Hungary: Global systems integrator and consulting firm with a large Hungarian delivery footprint serving the same enterprise, banking, and public-sector clients. Competes with Tigra for large transformation and managed-services deals, but at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Capgemini Hungary: Global IT services and engineering firm with a significant Budapest delivery center. Competes for the same enterprise and public-sector digital transformation work as Tigra and brings comparable custom software development plus system integration capabilities, though at global scale.
• Atos / Eviden: European-headquartered IT services and digital transformation firm with Central European public-sector and financial-services practice. Competes with Tigra on large-scale government modernization and managed infrastructure contracts; broader portfolio but overlapping capabilities.

Others

• LogMeIn (now GoTo / formerly GetGo): Hungarian-founded IT/communications software company that scaled from Budapest into a global SaaS business. Comparable as a Hungarian tech origin story rather than as a direct competitor — illustrative of the international scale a Hungarian-headquartered software company can reach from a Tigra-style starting point.
