A Journey of Evolution and Innovation
In 2006, as Web 2.0 was emerging as a new communication paradigm and Open Source promised a true cultural revolution, Extra was founded as a “digital boutique” to meet the technological needs of Italian businesses.
Despite the economic challenges of the time, Extra boldly rode the wave of innovation, earning the respect of numerous companies and quickly establishing itself as one of the most prominent system integrators. Driven by passion and vision, Extra grew to 150 employees, creating specialized entities such as Extra Vision, focused on ERP solutions and partnering with Oracle NetSuite; Extra Magnet (now Tempesta), a HubSpot partner specializing in digital marketing strategies; Extra Red, a Red Hat partner expert in IT Cloud infrastructure, data analysis, and integration; and Extra Cube, which leverages Liferay to offer customer service portals and digital experience platforms.
Each of these entities has left a significant mark on the Italian ICT landscape. Their excellence attracted the attention of national and international giants, leading to the successful acquisitions of Extra Vision and Extra Red by Horsa Group and Engineering Ingegneria Informatica, respectively.
