The first presentation was given by Artur Wiza, the Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco, who presented, among others, the areas and the scale of operations as well as the organizational structure of the Asseco Group.
Another presentation during the first day of the meeting was given by Jozef Klein, the President of the Management Board of Asseco International and Asseco Central Europe, as well as by Adam Góral, the President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland. They explained why Asseco International (AI) was established. They emphasized, among other things, that this step simplified the structure of the entire Group. At present, apart from the AI holding, the group also includes Asseco Poland and Formula Systems. In addition, the development plans of the new company were presented.

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.

During the conference there were also presentations devoted to IT solutions that fit in with the concepts of the industry 4.0. 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.

At the beginning we integrated the Polish and Central European ERP market. Now we have Asseco Enterprise Solutions with a strong international position, with over 1,500 people specialized in ERP - said Marek Panek.

In turn, Edita Angyalová, the Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Solutions, spoke about the market trends in ERP solutions. She emphasized the importance of the Internet of Things and self-learning mechanisms in creating user-friendly interfaces. She mentioned, among others, solutions dedicated to the hotel industry, such as Asseco BLUEGASTRO. These are fully automated systems for servicing restaurant customers and for ordering and delivering ingredients, as well as for preparing meal valuations. The system operates, among others, in the Ponteo Activity Park hotel in Slovakia.

Asseco wants to continue its development in the ERP sector. The international market in this sector gives us a great opportunity - said Edita Angyalová.

In a next presentation, Filip Kadeřábek, the Business Development Manager at Asseco Central Europe, spoke about the intelligent city project implemented in Vienna. It includes solutions for the management of public lighting, traffic lights, public WiFi, as well as electronic clocks and digital information boards. The SAMO system also allows to plan further development based on new functionalities.
In turn, the eDoc project, described by Miroslav Hájek, the President of the Management Board of eDoc, offers the opportunity to archive any data, such as user manuals, photos or invoices. They can be easily displayed by simply reading the appropriate code (QR, NFC, BLE).
The Asseco Group also sees a great opportunity in the development of e-mobility solutions. Jerzy Popowicz, the Business Development Director at Asseco Poland, pointed out that the widespread use of electric cars requires the creation of an extensive charging infrastructure. The charging stations themselves must be designed accordingly. Such management may be facilitated by Asseco ELMO, one of the newest products of Asseco Poland.
The Asseco Group Product Review conference was addressed to journalists from the business and technology media as well as press agencies. This year's edition was attended by 24 journalists from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany.

The project will be implemented over a period of one year by the consortium of Asseco Poland S.A., Asseco SouthEastern Europe d.o.o. Beograd and Chip Card a.d. Beograd.The implementation of AUMS Digital is aimed primarily at improving the quality of customer service, offering new products, carrying out modern integration with many different IT systems used by customers and making a decisive step towards building a two-speed architecture (BIOMODAL).

The main task of AUMS Digital is to integrate the products of the energy companies with the services of external partners, also from outside the energy sector. This ensures an increase in sales and gives the opportunity to expand the offer. It is worth noting that AUMS Digital is a fully open platform, which can be developed independently by customers and other suppliers, since the source code of mini-applications used in it is available and fully documented, said Tomasz Bendlewski, Director of the Energy and Gas Division, Asseco Poland.

Asseco AUMS Digital allows energy companies to implement their omni-channel strategy and to offer their customers products and services through various channels of contact, and to include them in the operation process, thus optimizing and automating various other processes. All of this ultimately translates into greater efficiency of the entire company's operations.

Thanks to our experience and competencies, Asseco has been a reliable technological partner of most energy companies in Poland for many years. This gives us a solid basis to launch our offer also in international markets, added Tomasz Bendlewski.

The contract in Serbia is Asseco's another foreign implementation in the energy sector. Earlier, the company implemented a project in Ethiopia, where it delivered a comprehensive IT system for data-reading management based on Asseco Utility Management Solutions (AUMS). It was the largest IT implementation ever carried out by a Polish company in Africa, and it was implemented in cooperation with the Ethiopian government agency Information Network Security Agency (INSA).

The event was opened by Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology Jadwiga Emilewicz. After the presentation of the Report's results, a debate was held with the participation of the representatives of PAIiH, Polityka Insight, Polpharma and Asseco.

For Asseco, being a national champion means not only acting for the development of the company, but also for the benefit of its employees (...) Poland is increasingly more often treated as a country of IT specialists, rather than plumbers. This is the image of our country we want to build, said Artur Wiza, Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

* Figures for 2016 on business activity of Polish capital groups employing at least 100 people, with revenues exceeding PLN 1 billion, were used for calculations.

In order to obtain a positive opinion, Asseco had to pass a number of scenarios in a dedicated test environment, which was made available by CSIOZ during the "Projectathon e-Recepty" workshop. The event was held on March 19-20, 2018. During the meeting, the correctness of communication between the P1 platform and service providers in all planned transactions was checked, as well as compliance of e-prescription documents and their implementation with the IHE Profiles: PRE and DIS, and HL7 CDA implemented in P1.

AMMS is ready to connect with the central prescription recording system in the P1 platform. It is to improve patient service, facilitate access to medical data and speed up the process of purchasing medicines, said Krzysztof Groyecki, Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Poland.

The introduction of electronic prescriptions is intended, among other things, to eliminate the problem resulting from incorrect handwriting, to increase patient safety by reducing the possibility of dispensing wrong medicines, or to allow access to the history of prescriptions, so that the treatment process can be better coordinated.

They make it possible to monitor electricity consumption close to real time.

In order to implement this concept, it is necessary to have central IT systems for the exchange of measurement data. These include the AUMS MDM software offered by Asseco.

The joint offer results from the combination of Asseco's experience in developing measurement data management software with the strict security and scalability offered by velcom's cloud environment. They will enable remote reading of water, power and gas meters at customers' premises and their transfer to billing and analytical systems in a safe and orderly manner, said Jerzy Popowicz, the Director of the Business Development Division at Asseco Poland.
