History

Value Partners Management Consulting was founded in Milan in 1993. In 1994, the São Paulo offices were opened to exploit both Italian clients active in Latin America and local companies. In 1999 operations began in Turkey, with the opening of the Istanbul office.

Since 2005, Value Partners has set up a network of locations in double-digit growth rate economic areas, which are strategic for European companies: the presence in Latin America was reinforced with the opening of the Buenos Aires office, Middle East with the opening of Dubai office and in China and the Far East the Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore offices were opened.

Value Partners exploits clients mainly in the financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications and new media, energy and hi-tech sectors. With the 2007 merger with Spectrum Strategy Consulting, Value Partners strengthened its international presence also in the publishing, broadcasting, entertainment, IPTV and mobile sectors and today it is a consultancy firm for telecommunications and new media sectors, worldwide. Value Partners established new offices in London, Hong Kong and Singapore.

In 2001 Value Partners decided to expand its service offerings beyond management consulting to include IT architectures and security, CRM, business intelligence, portals and billing. VPWeb and VPTech are founded and, with the acquisition of Webegg, Software Factory and TeleAp, Value Team was then created. In the following years Etnoteam and E-Tree were incorporated in Italy, Relacional and Mitsucon, in Brazil. In 2010 the Radio Access R&D division of Nokia Siemens Networks Italy was also acquired. Value Team has services for banking systems, MVNOs, embedded systems and knowledge management. In 2011 NTT Data acquired Value Team for the development of the European and Latin American markets. In 2014 Value Partners reopened its Dubai office.
