"During the pandemic, it is essential to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff, while maintaining continuity of medical care. This has been made possible by remote contact between a doctor and a patient, which is why we have prepared Teleporada that can be used by doctors in hospitals and clinics," said Jan Butkiewicz, Deputy Director of the Sales Division in the Healthcare Division of Asseco Poland.

The launch of the service in a healthcare facility does not require a complicated implementation
and additional expenditures on IT infrastructure. In addition, patients do not have to install any software, they can just access a web browser on a phone or computer. They receive a unique link to a meeting via a text message or e-mail. Thanks to the cooperation between Asseco and the National Cloud Operator, the solution is available as a service in the National Cloud. This ensures the highest level of data security and allows the use of Teleporada from any place, without the need to leave home.

The "Patient, #stayathome" packages are available for AMMS and mMedica users. The free license is available until July 31, 2020.

The mini-application will enable clients to, among others, cancel their identity documents, postpone the repayment of credit installments, grant the power of attorney to the account or purchase insurance.

"Taking into account the importance of the efficient operation of a cooperative bank in a local environment and in order to support bank employees who are ready to provide service to customers at this difficult time, often putting their own health at risk, we have decided to provide cooperative banks with a solution which will allow bank customers to deal with many issues that have so far required a personal visit to a bank in a simple and intuitive way. We will expand their catalog so that customer service can move to the digital world as much as possible. We are convinced that this will make it easier for banks and their customers to operate in the present situation, which is difficult for all of us - said Andrzej Nowakowski, Cooperative Banks Division Director at Asseco Poland.

In order to enable banks to take advantage of this modern service, based on the Internet Service Centre, they have been provided with the Asseco ABP system, owing to which a bank can process requests submitted by a client. Each time a submitted request is authorized via a measure assigned to the Internet banking user, which meets the requirements of a strong authorization, pursuant to the PSD2 Directive.

Asseco Poland has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Justice for the development of an IT system supporting the National Debt Register, which will streamline restructuring and bankruptcy proceedings. Easier access to information and better communication between the authorities involved in the proceedings will make it easier for indebted enterprises to carry out restructuring and continue business operations.

The project includes the production, maintenance and development of the National Debt Register System. Its main objective is to help entrepreneurs in a difficult economic situation. The more efficient handling of administrative processes will help them implement measures to avoid liquidation of a company. The vast majority of the elements of restructuring and bankruptcy proceedings will be carried out electronically, based on digital forms of documents signed electronically. All participants in the proceedings will be able to remotely access information and documents related to the course of the process and to perform activities resulting from it. The automation of the process will not only speed up its course, but will also give the possibility to publish obligatory notices and announcements on a dedicated website, which will significantly reduce costs and increase the transparency of proceedings.

The solution will be embedded in the ICT system of the Ministry of Justice.

The production of the IT system for the National Debt Register is another important project executed by Asseco for the Ministry of Justice. An efficient restructuring process will be crucial for many companies which, due to the current unprecedented situation, will find themselves in crisis," said Sławomir Szmytkowski, Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

The IT system of the National Debt Register will be implemented by November 2020. The value of the contract, including a 3-year maintenance service period, amounts to PLN 25.2 million.

Parkiet's editors and journalists have appreciated the fact that Asseco Poland strengthened its position as the leader of the Polish IT market in 2019 and grew organically and through acquisitions. According to the jury, very good financial results of the company, led by Adam Góral, also deserve to be recognized.

Adam Góral has been managing the company for many, many years. Clear strategy, global expansion, investments and acquisitions. In addition, the company's good financial results, always solid dividends and very good investor relations - said Andrzej Stec, Editor-in-Chief of Gazeta Parkiet, justifying the award.

In 2019, for the first time ever, the Asseco Group’s revenues exceeded PLN 10 billion. Operating profit amounted to PLN 976 million, which is by 22.5% more than in 2018. The pillar of Asseco’s business continues to be the sale of proprietary IT products and services, which surpassed PLN 8.6 billion last year.

Asseco's revenues are diversified by sectors and in 2019 were divided into: banking and finance - 38%, general business - 38% and public administration - 24%. The Group is also geographically diversified and presents its results broken down by three segments: Asseco Poland (Polish market), Formula Systems (Israeli market) and Asseco International (other international markets).

The year 2019 was very successful for Asseco - for the first time we generated PLN 10.7 billion in consolidated revenues and PLN 976 million in operating profit. In line with our strategy, we focused on the production of proprietary software and provision of related services. Such revenues accounted for 81% of our sales. Foreign markets represented by the Asseco International and Formula Systems segments accounted for 89% of our revenues. This confirms that the consistently pursued vision of Asseco's development, focused on the production of proprietary software and acquisitions of companies engaged in it, is the right direction to build the strong Asseco Group and a good way to diversify our operations by sectors and geography, said Adam Góral, President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

The Formula Systems segment accounts for the largest portion of revenues generated by Asseco. In 2019 the Formula Group companies significantly improved their sales and profitability as a result of conducted acquisitions as well as consistent development on international markets and taking advantage of the economies of scale.
The Asseco International segment recorded an increase in sales revenues and operating profit in all of its major regions of operations, namely Central Europe, South Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The growth of Asseco Central Europe was driven by new contracts concluded with public and financial institutions in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Following the strategy of economic and organizational independence of each of the operating segments, the Asseco South Eastern Europe Group achieved very good results in the segments of banking solutions, dedicated solutions and payments (Payten). The companies specialized in ERP solutions bought by Asseco Enterprise Solutions also improved their performance year on year.
The Asseco Poland segment signed new long-term agreements, worth several hundred million zlotys, with various public institutions (including the National Health Fund (NFZ), the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) and the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR)). The Company continued to strengthen its position on the healthcare market by actively participating in the process of digitization of the Polish healthcare sector. In the area of banking and finance, the client portfolio was expanded and long-term service agreements were executed, ensuring a stable source of revenues from this sector.
At present, Asseco's consolidated order backlog for 2020 is
versus the backlog presented in March 2019.

When it comes to Asseco's development prospects in 2020, I am aware that due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic, the whole world is now in a situation whose impact on the economy is difficult to estimate. We have taken all necessary steps to provide our employees with safe working conditions and our customers with full readiness to serve them and meet their obligations. We are also developing various scenarios of events to prepare Asseco for actions during and after the pandemic. In 2020 we will focus on further improvement of efficiency and simplification of the Group structure, continued development of competence areas and international expansion. There is no doubt, however, that this year will be very demanding on many levels, added President Góral.

Asseco Poland has been consistently building value for its shareholders and sharing profit with them. This year the Company's Management Board also recommended the payment of a dividend.

The Group's very good financial results in 2019 allowed us to recommend the payment of a dividend and to allocate PLN 250 million for this purpose this year. Asseco has been sharing its profits with shareholders for years and so far it has allocated PLN 2.2 billion for dividend payments, said Adam Góral.

The dividend amount recommended by the Management Board of Asseco Poland is equivalent to

When it comes to Asseco's development prospects in 2020, I am aware that due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the whole world is now in a situation whose impact on the economy is difficult to estimate. We have taken all necessary steps to provide our employees with safe working conditions and our customers with full readiness to serve them and meet their obligations. We are also developing various scenarios of events to prepare Asseco for actions during and after the pandemic. In 2020 we will focus on further improvement of efficiency and simplification of the Group’s structure, continued development of competence areas and international expansion.
However, there is no doubt that this year will be very demanding on many levels. That is why Asseco is joining in to help in this difficult situation, which is the coronavirus epidemic. We focus on the areas where we have experience and competence:
1.    We believe that it is very important to act responsibly and ensure the continuity of the operations of our clients – the companies and institutions important for the functioning of the state, the financial system or the health sector. Therefore, despite the prevailing epidemiological situation, our employees are fully available on duty to ensure the smooth operation of our clients' systems.
2.    We provide additional activities for hospitals free of charge, aimed at adapting their systems to the needs of patients at risk of the pandemic. We are also in constant contact with the Ministry of Health and the National Health Fund (NFZ), carrying out ad hoc actions which support the fight against coronavirus.
3.    We support universities - we have provided a platform for educational activities free of charge. "Partnership for universities" – it is the offer of Asseco, the Home Cloud Operator and Google, aimed at providing free infrastructure and tools for conducting remote classes at universities for 6 months.
4.    We are also working with the Ministry of Digitization on speeding up the regulations enabling the introduction of video-verification, which is necessary, for example, for the remote activation of the electronic signature. Such a solution would enable many people, forced to quarantine today, to continue to function and sign documents remotely.
In addition, the Management Board of Asseco has decided to allocate PLN 1 million to support the health sector. We also operate locally - the Podkarpacki Business Club (PKB), of which Asseco is one of the founders, has decided to provide financial support to the medical sector in the Podkarpackie region in order to counteract the effects of the pandemic. PKB will allocate PLN 300,000 for this purpose, while Asseco will provide additional PLN 100,000 - said Adam Góral.
