Computime

Computime is one of Malta's longer-established technology companies. It opened more than four decades ago, founded by a small group of certified public accountants who wanted to offer a blended, multi-disciplinary service, and it has since grown into a group of over one hundred people from more than ten nationalities. The head office is at Pater House on Psaila Street in Birkirkara, in the centre of the island.

For a business moving to Malta, or for a Maltese firm that needs infrastructure, software and compliance tooling from one supplier, Computime covers a lot of ground. It appears among the IT companies in Malta on VisitMalta.co.uk, and its clients range from small firms to large organisations.

Three divisions under one name

Over the years the offering has widened to follow what customers need, and the team now brings experience from technology, academia, marketing, strategy consultancy, communications, fintech, product development, security, project management and logistics. The company has advocated remote working for years and invests in staff training, which is worth knowing if you are weighing up who will look after your systems.

The group is organised into three divisions. Computime Systems Integration handles IT security, wired and wireless networks, servers, storage, virtualisation, cloud systems and hybrid cloud managed services that extend a client's own IT team. Computime Business Software focuses on business applications and integration, offering a mix of on-premises and cloud products from global vendors together with its own proprietary tools. Computime FinTech covers regulatory reporting and anti-money laundering (AML) monitoring for banks, financial institutions and heavily regulated sectors.

Executive management is led by chief executive Alistair Mangion, with Neil Bianco as chief commercial officer and two chief technology officers, one for systems integration and one for FinTech and business software. The board is made up mostly of non-executive directors, some of them independent. The stated values are commitment, quality, positivity and respect.

Managed IT services

The managed IT offering is aimed at companies without a large in-house IT department. It combines proactive monitoring, a 24/7 service desk, certified engineers and a single point of contact for a fixed monthly fee, instead of the break-fix model in which help arrives only after something fails. Pricing depends on the number of users, devices and services included.

Because every business is different, packages are designed after a long discussion of requirements. Services can include training, telephone and online technical support, software and licence audits, performance tuning and diagnostic testing. Security is layered, with endpoint protection, firewall management, email security, multi-factor authentication, regular patching, monitoring and staff awareness training, and remote and hybrid workers receive secure access, device management and troubleshooting.

Typical coverage includes servers, desktops, laptops and mobile devices, wired and wireless networks, security devices, automated patching, disaster recovery, user accounts and permissions, health and uptime reports, Microsoft 365 management and backups. The service is built to support readiness for the EU's DORA and NIS2 cybersecurity and resilience rules, with automated penetration testing available through a CREST-certified third-party partner. It works equally well beside an existing IT team and other vendors, or as your whole IT department.

Networks, security and Microsoft cloud

Computime designs, installs and maintains networks, and has built mission-critical networks for banks and major financial organisations in Malta. Network services include access control, connectivity, virtual routers, firewalls, load balancers, content delivery networks, VPNs and cloud connections. It specialises in hybrid cloud, linking on-premises systems with private and public clouds so a business can extend what it already has.

On the Microsoft side it deploys and maintains Microsoft 365 and Azure across infrastructure, platform and software models. Microsoft 365 suits collaboration, analytics, mobility and security for companies of any size, while Azure is a flexible platform for bespoke requirements that needs more technical skill. Computime handles strategy, operating model and ongoing support, including Azure Virtual Desktop, which delivers secure Windows desktops to remote staff on a range of devices. The wider catalogue also includes unified communications and partnerships with brands such as HPE, Microsoft, Cisco, Check Point, Sophos, Poly and Alcatel-Lucent.

Business software, finance and AI

The flagship finance product is Infor SunSystems, a financial management system with a unified ledger, procurement, sales, inventory and real-time reporting. Computime also offers enterprise resource planning and enterprise asset management software, built around the experience of its accountancy roots.

Computime also offers enterprise asset management software and a range of unified communications that bring voice, video, data and mobile applications together across fixed and mobile networks, so staff can communicate from any workspace on any device. These sit alongside the finance and ERP tools and are usually implemented for companies that want a single supplier for infrastructure and applications.

Its AI work includes SentriAI, a virtual assistant that lets staff ask questions of ERP, CRM, finance and inventory systems in plain English with role-based permissions, and SmartDocs, which extracts data from invoices, purchase orders, contracts and other documents and maps it into business systems. A Reservation Agent automates travel booking processing, and custom AI projects start from a discovery workshop. An AI Executive Sprint is a one-day workshop for senior leaders to identify opportunities and agree a practical roadmap. Smaller automations can take a few weeks, while larger multi-system projects may take several months.

FinTech: AML and regulatory reporting

Computime FinTech serves banks, financial services firms and iGaming operators. AML and transaction monitoring is provided through ComplyRadar, and regulatory reporting through BRSANALYTICS. The team has also developed a product that uses generative AI for business reporting.

These tools matter in a jurisdiction where regulation shapes the business environment, as described in our financial services overview and the iGaming guide. If you are still working out structure and tax, read about Malta's corporate tax structure and tax for UK nationals, and consider CLA Malta, our featured partner for company set-up. Compliance software supports your obligations but does not replace regulatory or legal advice.

Working with Computime from the UK

The professional services team includes technology advisors who provide design, implementation and ongoing maintenance, implementation consultants who handle business analysis, requirements gathering, data validation and disaster recovery planning, and regulatory and compliance specialists. The company also writes its own proprietary software for sectors such as banking and finance, iGaming, retail and distribution, and construction.

Professional services projects, whether implementation, maintenance or support, are run locally and overseas, with a stated philosophy of transparency about time, effort and cost from the first call. The company focuses on large, complex projects that need commitment from both customer and supplier, and it invests in staff training each year.

Cloud networking is a particular strength. Benefits the company highlights for cloud-based infrastructure include high availability in the event of a disaster, remote management of rented server space, easier backups, the ability to scale server size and disk space, paying only for what is used, access to hosted applications from any location and regular software updates. The security layer in its network designs controls and inspects traffic passing between the internet connection and the organisation's segregated internal network.
