The Times, a premium British brand, has a two hundred year history and is recognized all over the world. The newspaper has constantly evolved and now - with the rapid increase in digital consumption - the importance of innovation is stronger than ever.

Today’s readers access information in various ways. Digital is emerging as a dominant force, distributing rich and interactive content across multiple platforms. Having this in mind the technology division of News UK has undertaken a major programme to transform the tech stack that has evolved from the print editions to a new scalable and efficient platform. This platform will support the work of the media’s digital editors, corresponding to the requirements of its readers and their evolving models of content consumption.

 

We have a hugely ambitious roadmap ahead of us. By utilising cutting edge technologies we will transform the way that we concept, test and deliver fantastic and engaging digital products to our audience.

Paul Wilson, Programme and Portfolio Director News UK

The rapid expansion of this programme requires a reliable ally to ensure the smooth and swift growth of the software development team. Questers was chosen as a strategic partner for these crucial operations due to its proven background and expertise in supporting tech organisations in building, managing and integrating multi-location dedicated technology teams.

This strategic partnership will support the establishment and future growth of the development team of News UK in Bulgaria. The team will assist the digital transformation of the company to develop the digital platform in line with their business goals.

Questers has proven as the leading accelerator of fully integrated tech capacity in the region, bringing exciting opportunities to software engineers. Keeping Bulgaria on the world’s IT and innovation map is a result of multi-year efforts of all stakeholders to develop talent and create high-performing and globally connected ecosystem.
