We are DANIAN, a managed software services provider

Hey there—

I’m Aleksandar, the Founder & CEO of DANIAN for the past 5 years.

People often ask me why we built DANIAN. They’ve never seen anything like it before, so they’re curious where the idea came from.

I wish I could credit a spark of genius, or some deep insight. But I can’t. Truth is, we built DANIAN out of desperate necessity. We needed it bad. Without it, we were embarrassing ourselves.

After finishing my Architecture studies I started an Arch Vizualization company. We created 3D generated Images, Videos, 360 panoramas and VR experiences. As we grew, we kept taking on more and more projects. We thought we could handle it, while still providing the same level of service, but we couldn’t. We were fooling ourselves. Sound familiar?

It wasn’t that we didn’t have the skills — we just didn’t have the right tools, nor the method, to juggle the additional workload. We were disorganized, we were dropping balls, and stuff was slipping.

Quality was suffering, and, as is often the case in situations like this, our clients noticed before we noticed. That was the especially painful and uncomfortable part.

We realized that RUNNING and SCALING a business requires much more than just a website and processing orders. It requires systems, automations, analytics, file storage & sharing, live chat, backups, video conferencing, online office software, collaborations chat, CRM, appointments scheduling, helpdesk, project management software and the list just keeps on growing.

We looked around and tried a few things, but the popular tools we tried simply didn’t cut it. So we had to build our own system from scratch. With this system we can host as many softwares on 1 or thousands of servers and manage them with great ease. During the years we have improved it more and more.

We have built it so that anybody with zero tech experience can use it.

We started using the system with our clients. They kept asking “What is this? We could totally use this for our own business!” And that’s when the lightbulb went on — maybe this is a product for others, and not just for us? If we need it, surely others need it.

So we tweaked it, tightened it up, polished the rough edges, and put it on the market. It was an instant hit.

Turns out, tens of thousands of other companies had similar struggles running and scaling their business, and needed what we needed.

And about a year or so after we first released it, it was generating more revenue for us than our Arch Vizualization business. So we stopped doing ArchViz and have been focused on building DANIAN ever since.

Based on feedback, and our own ideas, we’ve made thousands of improvements over the years, with so much more to come. DANIAN defined a category, and continues to constantly push that category forward in innovative ways.

It’s been an incredible ride so far, and we have so many people to thank. But most of all, we feel a deep sense of responsibility to continue to make the best product we can for companies who desperately seek a better way to work. We’re here for them, 5 years and running.

Thanks for reading, and for giving DANIAN a try. You can always contact me directly if you have any questions at alek@danian.co. I look forward to hearing from you.
