Persistent Systems signed an agreement to integrate over 90 professionals from Estonia-based Concise, establishing delivery centres in Tallinn and Tartu to strengthen its Eastern European nearshore network and AI-led engineering capabilities.
Persistent Systems on June 1, 2026, announced the signing of an agreement to expand its Eastern European presence through the integration of a specialised team of more than 90 professionals from Concise, a Tallinn-headquartered software engineering and IT consulting company.
Subject to closing conditions, the transaction is aimed at strengthening Persistent’s European nearshore delivery network and enhancing its ability to support enterprises in evolving large-scale digital infrastructure and globally integrated operations.
The expansion will establish strategic delivery centres in Tallinn and Tartu, Estonia, broadening Persistent’s Eastern European and nearshore delivery footprint. The company said the move will strengthen capabilities across AI-led product engineering, distributed systems, and cloud-native technologies, while enhancing expertise supporting mobility, Logistics, smart infrastructure, and connected ecosystems globally.
Persistent noted that as enterprises accelerate investments in AI-enabled operations and modern digital infrastructure, demand is increasing for partners capable of modernising core systems, supporting governance requirements, and providing regional delivery capabilities at global scale. The company said it continues to strengthen its position through investments in strategic delivery hubs, advanced platform capabilities, and specialised AI expertise.
The establishment of delivery centres in Tallinn and Tartu is expected to expand Persistent’s European footprint and reinforce its nearshore delivery model for clients across the region. The company highlighted Estonia’s advanced digital ecosystem and deep technology talent base as a strong foundation for supporting AI-led transformation requiring governance alignment and stronger regional engagement. The expansion also aims to strengthen Persistent’s relationship and depth of expertise with a strategic customer in the enterprise mobility segment in the region.
The integrated team brings experience supporting large-scale digital environments across mobility, logistics, smart infrastructure, and payments.
Kuljesh Puri, Executive Vice President, Communications, Media and Technology, Persistent, said:
‘Enterprises are increasingly rearchitecting core systems and digital infrastructure to support AI-enabled operations, automation, and globally connected business environments. This is accelerating demand for partners that can modernise complex operational systems, integrate AI into critical workflows, and support globally distributed operations at scale.
This expansion will strengthen Persistent’s position in AI-led platform transformation while deepening our presence across Eastern Europe. Estonia’s strong digital ecosystem and technology talent base make it an important addition to our global delivery network and enhance our ability to support clients seeking faster execution, stronger regional engagement, and large-scale modernisation programmes across Europe and other strategic global markets.’
Markko Abel, Owner, Concise, said:
‘Our teams have built strong capabilities in developing and scaling platforms that support real-time, high-volume environments. Becoming part of Persistent allows us to extend this work within a larger global ecosystem. It creates new opportunities for our engineers while ensuring continuity for clients as they expand and modernise their platforms.’
