Y Soft Celebrates 20 Years of Smart Business

-- Company's 20th anniversary and continuous innovation positions it well to lead the industry to the cloud and beyond --

BRNO, Czech Republic and DALLAS, Aug. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Y Soft Corporation, the leading enterprise workflow solutions provider, today kicked off its 20th anniversary by launching a new web page commemorating the special occasion. Founded in 2000 by two college students, Václav Muchna, CEO and co-founder and Martin de Martini, CIO, and co-founder, the company is now one of the world's leading managed print services companies.

"This is a commemorative year for me as it's our 20th anniversary, and I also recently turned 40, spending half of my life building Y Soft to what it is today," commented Václav Muchna, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "I am proud of what we have built and grateful to the people that worked alongside us on this journey. Our employees, partners, and customers are why we are still here after 20 years."

"Starting a business while still in college was challenging, but looking back on what we have accomplished in the last 20 years has confirmed that we made the right decision and I would do it all again in a heartbeat," said Martin de Martini, Co-Founder, and Chief Information Officer. "Our Y Soft team has never been stronger, and I know that our next 20 years, with our cloud and Universal Print solutions, are going to be even better."

Václav and Martin originally planned to sell 70 licenses and retire; today, the company sells more than 100,000 per year. Of course, having increased from just the two of them to almost 400 global employees helps. What else has Y Soft accomplished in 20 years?

"It was an honor to see Y Soft's beginning and to watch them grow from a small startup to a world player in the printing industry," said Tomáš Fedrsel, former IT release manager at Sberbank Brno. "He added, "Many technicians back then are now in important management roles. You are proof that people should stand up for their ideas and develop them. The desired result will come then for sure."

"Y Soft has grown to become a leading provider in the market for print and device management solutions," says Robert Palmer, research VP with IDC's Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions group. "The company has accomplished much in 20 years and continues to separate itself from competitors through innovation in technology, platforms, and services."
