The conducted project builds up on the proprietary IT solution applied in Cyfrowy Polsat, allowing for complete control of the development phase, while maintaining a reasonable level of costs and eliminating any dependence on suppliers.

Apart from typical CRM functionalities, such as the history of the client’s relationship, client file, catalog of products, after-sales services, and multi-channel support, the project is also aimed at upgrading the order management tool and integration platform. New applications will be integrated with existing systems used by Polkomtel to form a coherent and more efficient platform to provide support for business operations across such a large organization as Polsat Group.

The project is implemented using a lightweight methodology which involves close cooperation among combined business-IT-developer teams. This allows for continuous monitoring of the progress of development work, and avoiding the so-called swinging syndrome, this is the implementation of anything other than assumed in the original scenario. It is of particular importance given the large scale of this undertaking. The project involves more than 200 people whose task is to modify 50 systems and achieve more than 1500 requirements. This is the main reason, apart from the system integration area, why Polkomtel’s own IT resources need to be supported by experts from Asseco Poland.

“The project is intended to realize the previously announced synergies between IT systems of Cyfrowy Polsat and Polkomtel. The ongoing modernization of our CRM system will help us respond more efficiently to the expectations of our customers and improve the comfort of using our services,” emphasizes Jarosław Chudziak, Managing Director for IT Projects at Polkomtel and Cyfrowy Polsat.

“Asseco Group cooperates with the largest telecom and media companies across Europe. However, due to the scale and significant impact on the customer services process at Polsat Group, I can say with confidence that this is one of major implementations that we are currently engaged in,” says Radosław Semkło, Director of Telecommunications and Media Division at Asseco Poland.

Integration and extension of information systems used by Polkomtel and Cyfrowy Polsat will contribute to the development of joint sales, being one of the Group’s key priorities. It will also facilitate the process of combining specific products and offering them in bundles, allowing to achieve better financial results, and helping to strengthen the leading position of Polsat Group in the market. The first phase of the project is to be completed in March 2015.

The consortium of Asseco Poland and Unizeto Technologies will provide IT systems to support the management of insurances and short-term benefits. This project includes the development of the Main Computing Center as well as Backup Computing Center dedicated exclusively to KRUS. The consortium will also carry out migration of data to the new computing centers. The contract value amounts to PLN 60 million gross.

During the academic year 2014/2015, students majoring in Computer Science at Rzeszów University of Technology will have an opportunity to develop their skills in the preparation of IT solutions for large business organizations. The optional course called “Enterprise-Class IT Systems” will be taught by specialists from Asseco Poland, the largest producer of software in Poland.

“Close cooperation between universities and business organizations is the key to provide students with the skills that are most demanded in the labour market. This is a valuable initiative from the point of view of our students,” says Professor Marek Orkisz, Rector of Rzeszów University of Technology.

The course is optional, so it is dedicated especially to those students who want to get engaged in the development of software applications for enterprises and public institutions in the future. In addition to conducting lectures and laboratory classes, Rzeszów University of Technology intends to cooperate with Asseco Poland in the assessment of master’s dissertations and doctoral theses in the field of computer science. This cooperation may also include joint research projects and initiatives aimed at promoting computer science.

“Implementation of complex IT projects in accordance with the requirements of large organizations is a unique competence of Asseco. For us, the cooperation with Rzeszów University of Technology is a chance to get in touch with future IT specialists, with the possibility of hosting student internships and job practices. Students demonstrating the potential and desire for development can expect to receive attractive jobs offers,” says Maciej Mierzejewski, Human Resources Director at Asseco Poland.

The cooperation between Rzeszów University of Technology and Asseco Poland is intended to promote joint initiatives of academic and business communities, as well as to adopt a practical approach in teaching information technology students at the University.

Asseco Poland has been actively involved in education projects for many years. Currently, the company cooperates with the Warsaw University of Life Sciences where Asseco specialists run a series of practical classes related to the implementation of IT projects. Whereas, at the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów, the company’s experts teach the courses of Software Engineering and Business Analysis.
