Hey there, fellow SAP enthusiasts and curious minds! Grab a cup of coffee or tea; we don’t judge, and let’s chat about something exciting brewing at Orka. We’re taking a leap across Europe, from the heart of Belgium to the sunny shores of Bulgaria. Why, you ask? Well, it’s all about bringing our top-notch SAP solutions even closer to you, our wonderful European clients.
A Tale of Two Cities: From Brussels to Varna
Imagine this:
Ghent, with its stunning architecture and dynamic cultural scene, and Varna, a vibrant coastal city nicknamed the “Pearl of the Black Sea.” Two very different places, right? But here’s where it gets interesting – we at Orka saw an opportunity to blend the best of both worlds.
Our CEO, Koen Van den Bossche, puts it perfectly:
“It’s like finding the perfect dance partner. Belgium brings the experience and client relationships, while Bulgaria adds a fresh rhythm and new moves to our SAP consulting tango.”
Why Bulgaria? It’s Not Just About the Sunny Weather (Although That Helps!)
Tech Talent That’ll Blow Your Mind
Bulgaria isn’t just about beautiful beaches and ancient history. It’s a thriving center of IT talent. Did you know that Bulgaria ranks second in Europe for certified IT professionals per capita? (Source: AIBEST Report 2021) That’s right, we’re tapping into a pool of SAP wizards who can code in their sleep!
Cultural High-Five
Working with our Bulgarian colleagues feels like reuniting with long-lost cousins. We share those European values: love for good food, ever-tried Bulgarian ‘banitsa’, and a passion for delivering excellence. It’s not just work; it’s a cultural exchange program where everyone wins!
Time Zone Magic
No more “Sorry, I was asleep” emails. With Bulgaria just an hour ahead of Belgium, we’re practically in sync. It means faster responses, smoother collaborations, and happy clients all around.
Value That Makes You Smile
Let’s be honest – who doesn’t love getting more bang for their buck? By nearshoring to Bulgaria, we’re able to offer you premium SAP solutions without the premium price tag. It’s like finding designer clothes at outlet prices – stylish and smart!
EU Family Matters
As fellow EU members, our Bulgarian team speaks the language of European business fluently. GDPR compliance? Check. EU standards? Double-check. It’s all in the family!
Varna: Where Code Meets Coast
Choosing Varna wasn’t just about throwing a dart at a map. This city is like the cool, up-and-coming neighborhood everyone wants to move to. It’s got:
🐝 A Tech Scene Thriving with Innovation
Join the energy of a tech community that’s buzzing louder than a beehive.
⚡Blazing Fast Internet
Surf the web at speeds that would make The Flash jealous (Bulgaria ranks 24th globally in average fixed broadband speeds, according to Speedtest Global Index 2023).
🌅 Living the Dream Every Day
Experience a quality of life that makes our team wake up with a smile every day.
As, Nina, our lead FI/CO Consultant in Varna, says, “It’s like living in a postcard. One minute I’m solving complex SAP problems, the next I’m watching the sunset over the Black Sea. It’s the best of both worlds!”

As the SAP management of Vynova, one of our long-standing Belgian clients, recently told us,
“It’s like Orka found a way to be in two places at once. We get the same great service, but now with even more innovative ideas.
Plus, we are learning some great Bulgarian recipes!”
