One company. Continuous evolution.

STEF92 TECHNOLOGY · SINCE 1992
From engineering and specialised software to science, publishing and connected digital systems.
HOW WE GOT HERE

We did not begin with a list of services.

STEF92 grew by solving increasingly complex professional problems. Engineering required better ways to structure information. Information required specialised software. Scientific work required platforms, publishing and international coordination. Each stage created the conditions for the next.

One continuous evolution

STEF92 Technology has evolved for more than thirty years across engineering, specialised software, digital systems, scientific publishing and international scientific projects.

The fields changed as technology and professional needs changed. The underlying approach remained the same: understand complex environments, structure information and build practical systems around them.

OUR STORY

Each chapter made the next possible.

Engineering created complex information. Information required software. Science connected it all.

1992Today
01The beginning
1992

STEF92 Technology begins.

Founded in 1992, STEF92 developed in professional environments where engineering knowledge, technical information and specialised tools had to work closely together.

02Engineering foundations
FOUNDATIONS

Working where information was complex long before “data” became a business category.

STEF92's early and subsequent engineering work extended across geology, geodesy, hydrogeology, geophysics, mining, geotechnics, geodynamics and environmental disciplines.

These fields required the management of large volumes of spatial, geological and technical information — creating a natural need for specialised digital tools.

Historical engineering fields — the foundations of today’s capabilities, rather than a current service catalogue.

03Our own software
CAD / GIS

Building the tools the work required.

STEF92 developed specialised CAD, GIS, geological and surveying systems, spatial-data tools, engineering calculations and database-connected applications for demanding professional environments.

Across successive generations, STEF92 developed its own CAD/GIS and engineering technology.

VectorCAD Expert → VectorCAD XP2 → VectorCAD R3 / R4 → MRP Studio → GSProCad Ultimate

When existing tools were not sufficient for specific professional problems, STEF92 began building its own.

04From drawings to data
INFORMATION

Software increasingly became information infrastructure.

CAD and engineering applications naturally expanded into databases, client-server systems, GIS environments and integrated information platforms.

05National-scale systems
NATIONAL SCALE

From specialised systems to national information infrastructure.

STEF92 Technology became the lead developer and principal contractor for the National Geological Server of Bulgaria — an important milestone in the company's evolution from specialised engineering software toward integrated geological and spatial information environments.

The project brought together experience in geology, databases, GIS and digital information management at national scale.

06International science
2001

Scientific events became a new long-term field.

Since 2001, STEF92 has been a principal organiser of international scientific events.

This introduced a new combination of requirements: international participants, scientific submissions, peer review, programme development, event operations, publishing and long-term knowledge management.

07Knowledge after the event
PUBLISHING

Scientific events created another permanent capability: publishing.

Research presented at international scientific events had to move through review, editorial production, publication, metadata and long-term digital access.

Over time, STEF92 developed extensive publishing-production and scientific-information capabilities around this lifecycle.

The technology supporting SGEM and later SWS evolved across more than two decades, from early event-management systems to the current SWS digital environment.

Submission → Review → Editorial → Publication → Discovery → Archive

08Connected platforms
PLATFORMS

Individual applications became connected platforms.

Database systems, web platforms, APIs, online services, hosting and automation extended STEF92's work into increasingly connected digital environments.

09Cooperation & training
COOPERATION

Technology and scientific work increasingly became international cooperation.

STEF92's long-term involvement in international science and multidisciplinary projects expanded naturally into professional training, Erasmus+ hosting, international mobility, knowledge exchange and institutional cooperation.

STEF92 Technology works in established partnership with the Academy of SGEM World Science (SWS) Scholarly Society in Vienna.

STEF92 Technology Ltd. acts as an Erasmus+ Host Organisation.

10STEF92 today
TODAY

More than thirty years later, the fields are broader. The principle is the same.

Today STEF92 Technology brings together capabilities that grew over decades of practical work across technology, publishing, science and international projects.

The disciplines changed. The working principle did not.

Whether the challenge involved an engineering model, specialised software, a national information environment, a scientific conference or a publishing workflow, the approach remained consistent: understand the domain, organise the information, build the system and support it in real operation.

The disciplines changed.
The principle stayed.

FORMED THROUGH PRACTICE

What the years taught us.

Experience is accumulated, not invented. These principles grew from work in demanding professional environments.
Domain Knowledge
Understand the professional environment before designing the solution.
System Thinking
Connect information, processes, technology and people.
Specialised Development
Build purpose-made tools when generic systems are not enough.
Long-Term Operation
Design for real use, continuity and further development.
Multidisciplinary Cooperation
Bring technical, scientific, publishing and project expertise together.
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

Practical expertise. International perspective.

STEF92 Technology works in established partnership with the Academy of SGEM World Science (SWS) Scholarly Society in Vienna.

Professional training, knowledge exchange and international mobility connect practical experience with new opportunities.
