Workflow integrates the services of specialized IT systems, such as Farmer, NSIU or KACHNA, used to provide insurance and benefits to farmers and their family members. Through a uniform user interface in the form of a portal for KRUS's employees, it ensures secure data exchange with external institutions, such as the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) (e.g. in the field of e-sick leaves), the National Health Fund (NFZ), the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR), the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy (MRPiPS) and the Farmer Rehabilitation Centers. In turn, the central component of the Workflow system - the Identity Management - ensures control and security of access to the ZSI. The system also offers access to the "KRUS e-Contribution" service, which allows for making social security and health insurance contributions by means of online direct payments.The agreement with KRUS will be executed by the consortium of Asseco Poland and Asseco Data Systems within 48 months from the date of its signature.

Under the signed contract, Asseco will take care of the maintenance of the Workflow system, ensuring its uninterrupted, failure-free and safe operations. We will also provide technical support and end-user support. The development of the system, in turn, will involve the introduction of all modifications resulting from changes in legislation, IT projects implemented by KRUS and other needs. Currently, Asseco's solution is used by more than 3,000 KRUS's employees in over 250 locations. In turn, the eKRUS system is used by over 15,000 farmers and their number has been growing rapidly, said Witold Malina, Director of the Agriculture Division, Asseco Poland.The Workflow system is integrated with other systems that support KRUS's activity: registration of insured persons, payment of short-term benefits and granting and payment of pension and disability benefits. Therefore, ensuring continuity of all processes, including punctuality and correctness of disbursements, is key in this project.  The competence team of Asseco Data Systems, which has many years of analytical and design experience in carrying out tasks for KRUS, will be responsible for achieving this goal. It will provide support services to end users of the system at KRUS with the use of multi-channel SERVICE-DESK, said Lech Szczuka, Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Data Systems, responsible for the Social Benefits Division.

For many years, Asseco Poland has been a reliable partner for institutions involved in the Polish agriculture sector. Over the past few years, the company has implemented projects for the Agricultural Property Agency (ANR), the Agency for the Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR) and KRUS.

Asseco Poland developed the Workflow system for KRUS as the winner of an international tender settled in 2009. It was a very complex project, which was financed with funds from the World Bank. At that time, Asseco integrated the systems in KRUS in such a way that they could function as a uniform central system in the whole country. In 2014, the company signed a 4-year agreement with KRUS for the maintenance and development of the system.The company has been supporting Polish farmers for many years, being the largest producer of software for the public sector in Poland. The company has built and implemented comprehensive systems for, among others, the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR), the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS), the Agricultural Property Agency (ANR), the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) and the Ministry of Interior and Administration and the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMiGW). Asseco Poland is also the largest Polish IT company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) and the sixth-largest producer of software. It leads the international Asseco Group, which operates in 54 countries and employs over 24,000 people.

Among the nominated Polish companies, the jury took into account their impact on the potential of Polish exports, the success of their activities on foreign markets and their effectiveness in creating opportunities for other Polish companies.

Poland needs foreign investments of good quality and such investments have been flowing to us, said Jerzy Kwieciński, the Minister of Investment and Development. But it is also important to point out that the expansion of Polish companies abroad has begun, and it is supported by the government, he added.This is a great distinction for us, but we are particularly pleased with the event at which we receive this award, as we are dealing here with startups, said Artur Wiza, Vice President of Asseco Poland. Our company began its operations 25 years ago as a startup in Rzeszów, and today we are present in 54 countries. I hope that many of today's startups will follow our footsteps, he added.

It was the second edition of the competition organized by the Polish Society for Enterprise Support (PTWP). In total, the awards were granted to eight investors, including four foreign investors in Poland and four Polish investors pursuing foreign expansion strategies.

We have been successfully building our Polish brand on the global IT market. Asseco is currently the largest information technology company in Central Europe and the sixth largest producer of software in Europe. We operate in 54 countries and employ over 24,000 people. Our software supports companies and organizations from the most important sectors of the economy, said Adam Góral, President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

As the editorial team of the "Wprost" weekly summarized, sales revenues for 2017 of all the companies amounted to over PLN 707 billion. This result is by over PLN 50 billion higher than in the previous year. Asseco Poland has consistently maintained a very good position in the rank.

Working for Asseco offers many development perspectives. Being one of the largest Polish software producers, we provide our employees with the opportunity to implement interesting IT projects within various sectors of the economy and ensure work with the best experts in the industry, said Justyna Kowalska, Head of Recruitment, Asseco Poland.Asseco searches for talents and enables young people to gain valuable experience. Every year we recruit candidates for the Asseco Starter internship program and run the Asseco 3P ambassadors program, she added.

Asseco's employees also have access to a wide range of workshops, language courses and postgraduate studies, as well as social benefits such as medical and sports subscriptions, group insurance or loan funds. The employees can also pursue their passions as part of the Asseco Active Team and actively participate in the "We Bring Help" charity campaign.

The Asseco ABP system has been developed for digitizing banking branches. The solution significantly saves the time of a client and an advisor, thus increasing the efficiency and attractiveness of a banking branch.

Usually, when clients enter a branch, they have to wait in a long queue and are redirected from one advisor to another. That is why they have to repeatedly explain the reason for their visit. Asseco ABP allows for automation of the entire process by utilizing the potential of modern technologies, such as beacons or biometrics, said Marcin Kwilosz, Product Manager from the Commercial Banking Division at Asseco Poland.

It was the 6th edition of the prestigious competition organized by Global Finance magazine, which is published in 189 countries. Its readers are mainly those responsible for making strategic decisions in international companies and financial institutions.

The official award ceremony will take place on November 1, 2018 in London during the Global Finance Digital Banks Awards Dinner.

As part of the development of AI, we are planning new acquisitions, and we need fresh capital to reach that goal. We have the possibility to enter the stock exchange, but everything depends on the market. In a very short time we want to complete the preparation of the strategy and maybe we will decide to enter the exchange - said Jozef Klein.
We will take care of the development of specialized companies within the Group and cooperate with Asseco Poland in the sectors of banking, health, industry and public utilities. We will also develop our joint offer at the AI level - concluded Jozef Klein.

Boris Duľa, the President of the Management Board of CEIT, talked about the activity of the company that deals with the development of production lines and whole factories. Its activities involve computer simulation and analysis of processes, and then their implementation in a factory. These solutions are mainly based on the use of industrial robots and autonomous systems. Currently, CEIT's solutions are applied at Volkswagen's plant, among others. Representative of Volkswagen Slovakia Martin Adamička spoke about their application.The second day of the conference was opened by Marek Panek, the Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland, who spoke in his presentation about the Asseco Group's operations in the ERP solutions sector.
