With more than PLN 7.2 billion in sales revenues, Asseco Group took the first place in the category “The largest IT group in Poland” of “ITwiz Best 100” report summing up the results for 2015. Moreover, Asseco Poland became a leader among IT companies which generated the highest sales to the sectors of public administration (PLN 443 million) and healthcare (PLN 188 million). At the same time, Asseco Data Systems won the ranking of IT companies with top revenues from training services (PLN 32 million).

The scope of changes and expansion of the ‘SIA’ IT system necessary for implementation were huge, a dozen times larger than in previous years. There was a real risk that ARMA would not realize payments of more than 95% of the financial envelope, and that would result in sanctions from the EU - said Witold Malina, Head of Agriculture at Asseco Poland. Despite enormous pressure we were able to successfully complete this project and ARMA had a system in place which allowed for around 98% of payments to be realized up until the beginning of June. The scale of system expansion can be illustrated by the fact that the EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development moved the deadline from 30 June to 15 October because a large number of EU countries simply couldn’t cope with this challenge. We’ve done it in Poland. This wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of ARMA and our specialists. Thanks to the constructive approach shown by the Agency board and the cooperation of both teams, we responded to all the challenges as they happened and kept gradually implementing system modules - he added.
Currently, payments were made to more than 99% of the entitled recipients. Approximately PLN 14bn in direct payments were transferred to their accounts.
Daniel Obajtek, Chairman of ARMA – There was a time when we seriously thought we might not make these payments. This was a very serious problem. However, thanks to strengthening the IT department, the employment of additional people, a certain split up, conversations with the contractor - whom I’d also like to thank – and the involvement of my vice-chairmen, as well as the commitment of the employees at all the district offices, we were able to make the payments and are at the tail end of ‘Kampania 2015’.

The European Economic and Social Committee (working with the European Commission) together with the Business Centre Club awarded a European Medal to Asseco for its CBP (Customer Banking Platform) solution. The European Medal is awarded to recognize companies and institutions that meet the EU standards. The aim of the award is to support Polish products and services on the EU market and bring its idea closer to the business community.

The contest’s main slogan was We are Poland. It was concluded at a special gala event which took place in Warsaw on May 31. Guests were greeted by Wojciech Surmacz, editor-in-chief of Gazeta Bankowa, who acknowledged that the inspiration to create the contest were the words of Adam Góral, CEO of Asseco Poland. In a recent interview for Gazeta Bankowa Mr. Góral said: ‘It is us, the entrepreneurs, who are largely creating our country, and even the best government plan won’t work out if we don’t join its implementation. We all need to act wisely and take responsibility for our actions’.

Asseco was named among the top 25 employers, in a ranking prepared by Gazeta Finansowa. Dynamic professional development and easy access to training courses for Asseco’s employees have been some of the highlights mentioned. Employees enjoy a package of social benefits such as a medical care package or a sports subscription. They can also pursue their love for sports by joining the Asseco Active Team. In addition, Asseco gives their its employees a chance to give back to the community through its annual charity event called We’re helping.
