TASR reported the centre will centralize payroll/HR for Orava/Liptov institutions.

This week, a new Regional Shared Services Center of the Žilina Self-Governing Region (ŽSK) Energo-Eko-Služby, a contributory organization, opened in Dolný Kubín.

As stated by the chairwoman of ŽSK Erika Jurinová on social media, the center's mission is to help the region's facilities operate more efficiently, so that they have less administrative burden and more space to work with people.

In the first phase, the center will process payroll and personnel agendas for social and cultural facilities in Orava and Liptov. Later, a workplace for sustainable energy will also be added. "I understand that every change brings questions and concerns.

However, the experience from the first year of operation in Žilina has shown that a common system brings order, professional background and gradually savings that facilities can use to improve their services," Jurinová specified.

According to her, shared services are a modern and reasonable way to improve the functioning of public institutions and at the same time save public finances. "I believe that the new model will bring benefits not only to the region, but also to all our facilities and their employees who work daily for the people in our region," added the chairwoman of ŽSK.

British financial technology company Tide plans to expand its technology centre in Lithuania, creating 60 to 70 new jobs over the next three years, according to the country’s investment promotion agency Invest Lithuania.
The business management platform aims to strengthen its engineering capabilities and will primarily hire software engineers and mobile app developers, the agency said in a statement.
“Lithuania has an abundance of top-tier engineers, a thriving fintech ecosystem, and a culture open to innovation,” Tide Chief Product Officer Vinay Ramani said. “Our partnership with Architus helped us discover this exceptional talent pool and lay a strong foundation for our new technology hub.”
Tide opened its Lithuanian technology centre in 2024. The Vilnius-based unit develops new products and provides services for customers in the United Kingdom, India, Germany, and France. It currently employs 34 engineers. Other Tide tech centres operate in Serbia and Romania.
The company recently raised $120 million in fresh funding, bringing its valuation to $1.5 billion. The investment will support international expansion, further development of the Lithuanian hub, and faster integration of artificial intelligence solutions, Tide said.

Mplus, the BPTO vertical of Croatia’s Bosqar Invest (ZSE: BSQR), has concluded its acquisition of Valoris, the Romanian customer experience (CX) and business process outsourcing (BPO) provider.

The deal was originally announced back in April 2025. Here below is that announcement for more background:
15 April 2025:
Bosqar Invest’s business process outsourcing (BPO) arm, Mplus, has acquired BPO providers Czech Conectart and Romanian Valoris as it accelerates its expansion strategy in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).

The two acquisitions, which together represent an enterprise value of €14mn, significantly expand Mplus’s footprint in the region and bolster its position in key markets.
“These acquisitions mark a significant step in our expansion strategy and underline our commitment to strengthening Mplus's leading market position and service offerings in Central and Eastern Europe,” said Tomislav Glavaš, CEO of Mplus and member of the management board of Bosqar d.d.
The acquisition of Conectart, which operates across 22 locations in Czechia, Slovakia and Poland, was completed on April 15. Mplus acquired a stake of more than 96%, with the remainder retained by Conectart’s management.
Valoris, founded in 2006 and operating a multilingual BPO platform in Romania, is being acquired in full from two individual shareholders.
“Pending the finalisation of integration of Conectart and Valoris, we will not only diversify our capabilities but also accelerate entry into new markets, enabling the deployment of Mplus's advanced technologies and generating substantial value for our stakeholders,” Glavaš added.

Conectart, which reported revenues of €23mn in 2024 and employs 1,200 people, was previously owned by Genesis Capital. 
“Despite a series of external challenges, we managed to grow the business, strengthen its domestic position via the acquisition of Atoda, and expand internationally to Slovakia a Poland. Together with the management team, we built a solid platform for future development,” said Martin Viliš, partner at Genesis Capital, the former owner of Conectart. “We are confident that Mplus is the right partner to continue this journey.”
The acquisition is expected to generate synergies with Mplus Slovakia and create a strong platform to enter the fast-growing Polish market.
Valoris brings a team of 550 employees and a solid financial position, with revenues of €7.3mn. “The sale of Valoris represents a strategic opportunity for continued growth and success. It has been a privilege to lead this business, and I am confident that the new owners will carry forward the values and commitment to excellence,” said Cristina Man, founder of Valoris.
The deal strengthens Mplus’s nearshore capabilities in Romania and is expected to enhance performance on existing joint delivery projects.
The latest acquisitions bring Bosqar’s total deal count to 86 since 2016, a spokesperson told bne IntelliNews, a result of its aggressive buy-and-build strategy. The group, backed by pension funds, private equity and institutional investors, operates across four verticals – BPTO (Mplus), HR (Manpower, Workplace), eCommerce (Eplus Ventures) and Food (Future Food Solutions) – and employs more than 13,900 people across 57 countries.
Mplus operates in 13 countries, including Germany, the UK and the US, with over 12,800 employees providing customer experience services in 32 languages. Its services span telecommunications, financial services, logistics, consumer goods and more, underpinned by its in-house tech division that delivers AI-driven customer experience solutions.
Bosqar’s expansion drive also included the acquisition of Slovenia’s Panvita Group earlier this year and a €100mn deal for Croatia’s bakery-café chain Mlinar in December 2024.

Tide, the UK’s leading business management platform, is expanding its technology centre in Lithuania, reinforcing its commitment to international expansion and scaling its engineering capabilities. Tide is planning to employ an additional 60 – 70 full-time professionals over the next 3 years, focusing on backend and mobile development in remote-first positions, with an office in Vilnius.
The tech centre in Lithuania, which officially opened in 2024, plays a pivotal role in developing new products and supporting Tide’s growing member base across the UK, India, Germany and France. It complements Tide’s existing global technology development centres in Serbia and Romania. The centre already includes 34 engineers who joined through a successful partnership with Architus, a strategic technology partner known for building high-performing engineering and product teams across the UK and the Baltics.
Tide recently secured a $120 million strategic investment led by TPG, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. This capital will fuel Tide’s continued international expansion – including growing the Lithuania tech centre – and accelerate investments in AI-driven product innovation to better serve SMEs across multiple markets.
In early 2022, Tide partnered with Architus to scale its engineering teams in response to rapid growth and international ambitions. Architus’ deep experience in technology and product development combined with their ability to attract top tier talent, enabled Tide to quickly build and integrate teams for payments, open banking, credit, and identity and access management (IAM).
By September 2024, 30 Architus engineers were fully embedded within Tide’s organisation. These engineers have been fully transitioned into the newly established entity, Tide Lithuania (Tide Platform Ltd Lithuanian Branch), which will continue to expand as a core part of Tide’s global technology strategy.

Lithuania offers world-class engineering talent, a thriving fintech ecosystem, and a culture that embraces innovation. Our partnership with Architus has been instrumental in helping us tap into this exceptional talent pool and lay the foundation for our new tech centre.
