Keep Solutions, a Braga-based company and UMinho spin-off originating from the EEUM Department of Computer Science, has distributed €180,000 of its 2025 profits amongst its 36 staff members – meaning each received an average of €5,036.

In a statement sent to the media, the Braga-based technology firm highlights that, since it began its policy of distributing profits to staff in 2014, it has already handed out a total of €622,750.

According to the financial director, Luís Miguel Ferro, quoted in the statement, this policy reflects the company’s vision of recognising the commitment and dedication of its staff: “The company’s growth is the result of the work and commitment of every employee. It is therefore only fair that everyone should benefit from the good results achieved throughout the year”.

Thus, “taking into account last year’s results, the company has been able to pay each of its 36 employees an average of €5,036”.

Keep Solutions notes that “it has been demonstrating solid and consistent growth, underpinned by a clear strategy focused on innovation and quality, whilst also prioritising the security of its solutions”.

“In recent years, the company has seen a significant increase in turnover, both nationally and internationally, and has managed to strengthen its leading position in information management systems, particularly in the areas of archives, libraries and museums, but also in digital preservation solutions,” the statement reads.

The Braga-based technology firm notes that “this growth has been accompanied by continuous investment in strengthening the team, with the integration of new talent, as well as in the expansion and modernisation of its physical facilities, creating the conditions to respond ever more robustly to market demands and the company’s future ambitions”.

Keep Solutions was founded in 2008 by a lecturer and former students of Information Technology and Computer Science at UMinho.

The company develops advanced solutions for information management and preservation. It has worked with various government departments, universities, local authorities and private sector organisations, as well as international institutions such as the European Commission, universities and national archives, notably in Sweden, Estonia and Denmark.
