The presented systems will include solutions based on the Asseco Utility Management Solutions (AUMS) platform, offered by the Power and Gas Division of Asseco Poland. These will include AUMS Billing Lite and AUMS Billing Smart, designed for companies of all sizes. Their main advantage is the short implementation time, which translates into a quick launch of sales and billing of services, including those from outside the utility sector.
During three days of the fair, Asseco Poland will also present its latest solution, which fits into this year's main theme of the event - Smart Cities. This will be the AUMS MDM software, which ensures efficient data acquisition and management from smart and traditional electric and gas meters.
In turn, experts from Asseco BERIT will present new functionalities of the SAMO system for enterprise resource management, integrating information on infrastructure, fixed assets and maintenance processes. The functionalities make it possible, among other things, to identify the key elements needed for the proper functioning of the power grid and to estimate the operational costs of the maintenance of the technical infrastructure.

E-world Energy &Water trade fair is one of the most important events of the year for us. It provides a unique opportunity to reach key representatives of the utility sector with the company's offer. It is therefore a good place for the official launch of products and services. This year we will present our latest solutions for energy sales and billing - AUMS Billing Lite and AUMS Billing Smart. We will not only talk about them, but also show how they work in practice. Already today we invite all the guests to our demo presentation, said Jerzy Popowicz, Business Development Director, Asseco Poland.

The "Pearls of the Polish Economy" ranking is created in cooperation with experts from the Department of Decision Support and Analysis, the Institute of Econometrics, at the Warsaw School of Economics. The ranking of the companies in the Great Pearls category includes the companies with revenues exceeding PLN 1 billion. It was the 16th edition of the list.

Currently, 70% of companies declare that new technologies are the main factor in their development1. This means that innovative solutions begin to play an important role in the business strategy of companies which have to meet the dynamically changing expectations of customers. In 2017 alone, the Asseco Group allocated PLN 548.2 million for R&D investments. As part of its research and development activity, it acquires innovative projects in several ways, among others through the implementation of internal projects, cooperation with startups and use of external funding.
Not only will Asseco Innovation Hub help to develop innovative ideas, but it will also make it easier to bring them to the market. Thanks to the cooperation with Asseco, solution developers will gain access to the company experts' knowledge and resources, receive the necessary financing, conduct tests of their solutions, and will be able to promote their products at industry conferences of Asseco. AIH will also enable them to work directly with the company's customers.

, he added.

In addition to the AIH department, a subsidiary company - Asseco Innovation Fund Sp. z o.o. - has been established, which will be responsible for financing and managing the portfolio of entities which produce and develop products qualified by Asseco Innovation Hub for further development.

is the largest Polish IT company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) and the sixth-largest producer of software in Europe. It leads international Asseco Group, which operates in 54 countries and employs over 24,000 people. For more than 25 years it has been creating technologically advanced software for companies from key sectors of the economy.
As part of its R&D investment activities, the company will build the Asseco Innovation Hub in Rzeszów, where technologies in the areas of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, telemedicine, electromobility and IoT will be developed. Asseco also runs its own projects with the financial support of the National Research and Development Centre. Among others, it helped the company to develop the Asseco Ground Control Station for crisis management and cyber security purposes.

As the results of the Asseco's report "Corporate Banking today and in the future" show, customers expect increasingly more innovative solutions which will facilitate their daily work and contact with a bank. For 47% of them, innovation is just as important as safety. An example of a solution which is in line with the global trend of seeking innovation is Asseco Enterprise Banking Platform, which we offer to both the SME sector and corporations, said Marta Mróz-Sipiora, Product Manager, Asseco Poland.

The aim of the Report of Gazeta Finansowa was to distinguish companies which, according to the editorial team, meet the expectations of customers by offering them increasingly more advanced products and services.

The system developed by Nextbank is fully adapted to deposit and credit products specific for Southeast Asia and is integrated with both a mobile application for bank advisers, enabling them to execute transactions outside a branch, and with a mobile banking application offered to clients. The solution is made available in the cloud and provides a set of functionalities necessary to run a mid-sized bank. Currently it operates in 5 Philippine cooperative banks.

The Asseco Group has been joined by a very substantive and business-oriented team. Nextbank is still a small company, but it has already carried out implementations in 5 banks in the Philippines and is currently running further implementations. It has a very interesting product - a core-banking system with the possibility of mobile access for bank customers, which is available in the Amazon cloud. It is fully adapted to the needs of local institutions. We are also counting on the possibility of achieving synergy in the area of our product portfolio in the future, as well as on the exchange of know-how between our teams, said Zbigniew Pomianek, Vice President of the Management Board, Asseco Poland.

There are currently over 500 banks in the Philippines, 450 of which are cooperative banks with limited IT investment budgets and limited access to qualified IT staff in the provinces. For the Asseco Group, the new investment means first of all the possibility of conducting business operations in the Philippines, where no implementations have been carried out so far. It is also an impulse to expand the company's product offer.

, said Marek Panek, Vice President of the Management Board, Asseco Poland.

The transaction value of the acquisition of shares in Nextbank Software is PLN 17 million. There are no plans to merge the Kraków-based company with the Asseco Group.
