History

[edit | edit source]

Arcusys was founded on 18 December 2003,[2] by Jussi Hurskainen, Mika Kuikka, Kyösti Nevalainen and Mikko Taivainen. In the early years, Valamis' main business was working as a subcontractor for large manufacturing corporations. When the technology development took off within the company in 2007, Valamis started work with universities.

In 2012, Arcusys acquired the software company Fudeco Ltd[3] and expanded its offices to Oulu, Finland.[4]

In 2016, the company acquired the predictive analytics company Olapcon Ltd.[5]

In May 2018, Arcusys changed its name to Valamis.[6]

In January 2019, Valamis acquired the software company Componence Services B.V. and opened an office in Amsterdam.[7]

In December 2020, Valamis was acquired by Adelis Equity Partners. Adelis acquired shares from the passive shareholders and invested growth equity in the company through a private offering.[8][9]

In July 2021, Valamis acquired the digital learning management software company The Working Manager Limited (TWM).[10]
