The Spanish company Adea, specialized in document management, plans to grow organically and inorganically in the coming years with the implementation of an ambitious acquisition plan. According to company sources, Adea expects to increase turnover by 50% in the next two years, to reach a turnover of 30 million euros.
His forecasts also highlight a greater internationalization of the company, to extend its presence from Spain, Portugal and Colombia to a large part of the European continent, always hand in hand with local partners. With the same formula, the company also aspires to make the leap to other continents such as Asia and Latin America, to offer document management services to its clients with a presence in those markets.
“We bought Papyrum Nexus, which has given us great clients and a very strong technological component, and also a Portuguese company, Safe Box, which has allowed us access in this country to the public sector, hospitals and ALTIS communication, the former Portugal Telecom, among other clients. We have also acquired the companies Logisman Aragón and the Madrid-based Servicios Documentación Multimedia (SDM), and now we hope to make a fifth acquisition this year”, explains Felipe Fernández Atela, executive president of ADEA and of the council of EXCOM. “We are willing to continue buying other companies in other countries and also in Spain. There are leading technology companies in Spain that would make us more relevant because we are determined to lead this market,” says Fernández Atela.
Adea’s technological transformation in recent years has been especially relevant, going from a traditional document custody company to becoming a document management technology giant. Among its clients, large companies and Public Administration stand out, who “not only store their documentation but also have the possibility of digitizing it, obtaining information and applying business rules through hyperautomation; in a way that streamlines and optimizes administrative processes and decision making. of customer decisions.
Currently, Adea invoices more than 20 million euros a year, offers services to more than 1,300 clients and employs 300 professionals. With more than 23 years of activity, Adea has several Custody and Operations centers in Spain (Madrid, Guadalajara and Zaragoza), Portugal (Oporto and Montijo) and Colombia (Bogotá), where seven million boxes with documentation are housed. According to company data, Adea processes more than 100,000 documents a day and maintains 90 million images on hosting.
In its leap into the future, Adea counts on high technology as an ally. “We have reinforced from the extraction of information through artificial intelligence, through automation with a workflow to interaction with the client through a powerful document management platform”, they emphasize from Adea.
“We take care of the entire process of identification, digitization and automation of the document and its data”
Adea’s business proposal is committed to hyperautomation, a concept that includes end-to-end management. This means, they explain from Adea, “that we take care of the entire process of identification, digitalization and automation of the document and its data”.
On the other hand, the company offers “a SaaS model where the software, which is the logical support, and the data it handles, are hosted on Adea company servers, which are accessed digitally.” For all of the above, “the client only pays for what he uses and does not have to make another investment, which implies great cost savings and simplification for our clients.” To achieve these goals, the company “uses various technological tools such as Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.” Thanks to the modernization of document management, Adea points out that his great contribution consists in turning “document warehouses into data banks”.
