Since 1998, we’ve been pioneers in bringing SAP and related applications to the cloud-think Microsoft Azure and AWS. Our global crew, spanning the US with offices in Chicago (HQ), Athens, Greece, Barcelona, Spain and Mumbai, India, is on a mission to make IT smoother, faster, and more fun for our clients.\nBut here’s the thing: we’re not your typical “serious tech company.” While we’re obsessed with delivering top-notch IT solutions, we’re all about keeping it real, approachable, and enjoyable. We work hard, but we also play hard-whether we’re collaborating on cloud optimizations, enhancing security, or just hanging out as a team.\nAt Protera, we believe in empowering SAP-centric organizations with the best tools and tech to drive growth, and we love what we do. Our values? Simple: stay curious, stay authentic, and make meaningful connections.
