Over the past 6 months the Group signed 3742 contracts and agreements. In August 2016 the order book for this year exceeded PLN 6.9bn and was 17% higher than the previous year.Adam Góral, CEO of Asseco Poland S.A.: We have achieved very good results and we are pleased with the record-breaking revenue growth of the Asseco Group. In particular, we welcome the growing and significant impact of our foreign subsidiaries. This is the result of our consistent development strategy within the international markets, as well as a result of building a global Polish IT company. We’re gaining international experience, yet are still actively trying to  persuade more and more Polish companies to use our services and products – particularly as we can offer them unique knowledge, coming not only from our market. We’re also happy to share our experiences of development and international expansion. Efficiency and optimization of our organizational structure are areas we are constantly working on improving. Same applies to the development of new products meeting new challenges in a rapidly changing technology market.Over the past 6 months the Asseco Group completed a number of changes concerning its operation on the Polish market. These were aimed at simplifying the organizational structure and further developing expert competence within individual companies in the Group. The merger of Asseco Poland with Infovide-Matrix, and the transfer of infrastructure business to Asseco Data Systems are cases in point. Extra teams were also added to DahliaMatic, specializing in IT services in the area of application software for third parties. As a result, the Asseco Group operates under a new organizational structure on the Polish market from 1 July 2016. Asseco Poland, Asseco Business Solutions, Asseco Data Systems and DahliaMatic form its core. Each company specializes in clearly defined business areas that complement each other.Foreign companies within the Group carried out a number of successful acquisitions in the first half of 2016. In Israel, Formula Systems has strengthened its expertise within the defense sector by acquiring a 50% stake in a company called TSG; whereas Sapiens took over Maximum Processing, a company acting in the non-life and accident insurance sector in the United States. In addition, the Israeli company Magic Software has acquired a majority stake in Roshtov Software Industries, which owns a development platform for health care institutions. The high revenue growth within the Central European market is not only the result of organic growth, but also stems from last year's acquisitions within the IT infrastructure and integration segment. Asseco South Eastern Europe (ASEE) took over Chip Card and thus increased its competence in the rapidly growing area of payments.

Asseco Group’s development strategy focuses on the core business – creation of innovative software for companies and institutions – as well as further international expansion, and building a competitive advantage based on strengthening its sectoral competences.
