During the event, a demo presentation of Asseco's systems was held. It was titled "New insight on Trade Finance products for SME - Digi Trade", conducted by Marta Mróz-Sipiora, Product Manager, and Marcin Kwilosz, Product Manager at Asseco Poland. During the presentation, the capabilities of Asseco EBP in the field of trade financing and the benefits of implementing the system were presented. The solution allows, among other things, to reduce operating costs related to generating paper documents and to automate processes, thanks to which customer service becomes faster. Additionally, the integration of Asseco EBP with the Asseco Advisory Banking Platform (Asseco ABP), which provides comprehensive support to bank advisors, was presented.

Modern corporate banking requires a fresh look at companies and providing them with effective and safe financial management. Companies expect an individual and professional approach, as well as efficient and flexible service. That is why we have developed Asseco EBP, which provides comprehensive support to entrepreneurs in the area of financial services. At the same time, it ensures integration with the financial and accounting systems of corporate customers and security of transactions, said Marta Mróz-Sipiora, Product Manager at Asseco Poland.

Asseco EBP and Asseco ABP are modern omni-channel systems that completely change the philosophy of functioning of financial institutions. They provide banks with better identification of customer needs, and thus enable them to prepare a "tailor-made" offer.

Asseco ABP introduces a new quality of customer service. It offers simultaneous implementation of service processes in traditional, Internet and mobile channels through automated workflow, said Marcin Kwilosz, Product Manager at Asseco Poland.

The Efma SME Banking Summit conference is one of the most important events addressed to market leaders from the sector of small and mid-sized enterprises, banks and IT providers. Among the topics of this year's conference were, among others, trends in creating services and products, as well as ways of designing the so-called end-to-end processes, which improve banks' customer service process.Related materials

The jury of the competition appreciated PROMAK TS - an innovative system for trading in financial instruments, which was implemented and launched on the WSE for the first time. It is available to brokers operating on the WSE since January 2 2018 both in the form of a dedicated application as well as a web version. The project was carried out in a record time (5 months from the signing of the agreement). The new solution provides traders from Poland and the European Union with direct access to trading on all WSE's markets without any geographical restrictions. It also enables secure access to current market information, effective order management and fast and efficient communication.

In product development, we focus not only on technological requirements, but above all on expectations of the business side. Our goal in this project was to modernize the solutions offered by the exchange and to simplify their administration. The best tool to achieve this was the implementation of the PROMAK TS system. It was Asseco Poland's first project carried out jointly with the WSE and we hope that in the future we will have an opportunity to expand our cooperation. It is also an important reference for us thanks to which we can try to implement our products on foreign stock exchanges, said Artur Trunowicz.

PROMAK TS provided the WSE with the freedom to choose the way of the access to the UTP trading system, thanks to which traders can receive information on the current state of the market or the quotations of instruments through two independent solutions. Thanks to the implementation, the WSE has become one of the most modern trading floors in the world. Solutions of this class in Europe are used only by the London Stock of Exchange.The Congress of Electronic Economy is an event bringing together key representatives of public and local government administration, financial and scientific circles, whose activities contribute to the development of modern electronic economy in Poland. This year's Congress was organized by the Polish Bank Association and the Banking Technology Forum.

For the purpose of assessing the financial position and business development of the Asseco Group, data adjusted for the cost of additional amortization of intangible assets (PPA and SBP) recognized in connection with regaining control over the Formula Systems Group, are of key importance. Excluding this negative accounting effect, the Group's profits increased at a double-digit rate: non-IFRS* operating profit increased by 19% to PLN 235 million, while non-IFRS* net profit went up by 21% to PLN 81 million.

In the first quarter we recorded very good results - the sales of the Asseco Group increased in all business segments, while profits net of the negative effect of additional amortization of intangible assets recognized in connection with regaining control over Formula Systems went up by 20%. We are driven by, among others, the banking sector and new orders related to support in adapting to important changes in Polish and EU law, as well as an increasing number of international implementations carried out by the Group's companies. Our results reflect successes in individual segments. Visible increases were recorded by the Formula Systems Group, although they were offset by the negative impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, among other factors. Asseco International achieved double-digit sales growth. Our competence center dealing with the payments segment has been developing dynamically, said Rafał Kozłowski, Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

Currently, the Asseco Group presents its results in three key geographical segments: the Polish market, the Israeli market, i.e. the Formula Systems Group, and international markets managed by the Asseco International holding.The Group's results were mainly influenced by foreign markets. Israeli companies had a good quarter. Revenues were maintained at a stable level and amounted to PLN 1.3 billion. The decrease in operating profit by 22% to PLN 57 million was mainly due to the impact of additional amortization of intangible assets recognized in connection with regaining control over the Formula Systems Group. In addition, the level of operating profit was negatively affected by exchange rate differences. Assuming the exchange rates remained at last year's levels, both operating income and operating profit would be by 14% higher. Asseco International, which is responsible for other international markets, increased its revenues by 14% to PLN 574 million. Organic growth was supported by last year's acquisitions of the Slovakian CEIT and the Polish company Macrologic. On international markets, Asseco has benefited from increased demand for the ERP solutions, and expanded its offering of advanced products for the industrial, banking and financial sectors. There was a significant improvement in the area of payments, particularly in the area of the ATM maintenance services.On the Polish market, revenues increased to PLN 316 million and the operating profit was higher by 41% and amounted to PLN 56 million. Asseco Poland had the greatest impact on the improvement of these results, as it was particularly successful in the banking sector. The results in the public sector also improved.

According to the list of the "Wprost" weekly, last year the Polish exports increased by 10% on annual basis. The value of the Polish exports reached almost EUR 204 billion.Asseco owns companies located in over 54 countries worldwide and employs more than 24,000 people. Last year, the Group developed significantly on foreign markets, in which it generated 80% of its sales and successfully conducted new acquisitions.
