History
Over 20 years of experience – Evolution from local support to strategic IT partnership for SMEs.
Our story began in 2007, when Marcin Kaczmarek – a technology enthusiast – founded the Kiczmar.pl company. Initially, we focused on providing basic IT services for local small and medium-sized companies: technical support, simple software development, website construction and legality audits.
However, we quickly developed our competences, entering the world of enterprise-class IT system administration. We have gained experience in implementing and maintaining complex solutions such as IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange, AIX, Linux, Windows Server and advanced virtual infrastructures (VMware, Hyper-V, Citrix). Back then, we began exploring cloud and hybrid technologies, working with global leaders: Microsoft, IBM, VMware, Citrix, NetApp, AWS and Azure.
Between 2013 and 2019, we carried out demanding projects for large organizations and international clients, focusing on:
IT architecture and strategy
Complex migrations to the cloud
Design and implementation of private and public clouds (AWS, Azure)
Digital transformation and automation of infrastructure.
We also acted as an educational partner, conducting trainings and academic classes in the field of cloud architecture and IT security (m.in. for WSB, Wroclaw University of Business, FastLane Polska).
Key Development Stage – Joining Forces for SMEs
The breakthrough came in 2022 when Kiczmar.pl and Bajkowski.net joined forces. Adam Bajkowski brought his extensive experience in audits, security and infrastructure management, perfectly complementing Marcin Kaczmarek's cloud and software competences. Both organizations had complementary experience and a common vision: to provide professional IT services for the SME sector.
