The first project will be implemented for the benefit of Access Bank, one of the 5 largest banks in Nigeria.

The second contract was concluded with Wapic Insurance, one of the leading insurance companies in Nigeria. Asseco Software Nigeria together with Asseco Central Europe will implement the StarINS solution, a core insurance system that belongs to the Slovak company.

Africa is a strategic direction of development for the Asseco Group. I am glad that at Asseco Software Nigeria we are gradually building our position and winning new contracts in crucial sectors, such as banking and insurance. These two new contracts confirm the effective co-operation of the Group companies in foreign expansion - said Simon Melchior, CEO of Asseco Software Nigeria.
The implementation at Wapic Insurance is another contract within the insurance sector in Nigeria. In June 2015 ASN signed an agreement with Zenith Insurance, another of the market leaders. Under the agreement, ASN will implement its own solution called ASIRA, an annuity solution for Life Insurance companies. Estimated completion date is set for the second quarter of 2016.

The aim of the competition is to highlight the most innovative products and solutions within the IT sector. The award ceremony was held in Warsaw during the 'Techno Business' gala on April 14, 2016. Adam Góral, the CEO of Asseco Poland, was interviewed shortly before the presentation of prizes and shared his thoughts and insights on the Polish economy with the participants.

Gala crowned a full-day conference opened by the minister of digital affairs Mrs Anna Strężyńska who announced that by 2020 the map of Poland should consist of no 'white spots', i.e. places without access to the Internet. Three debates, divided into the following subject areas, were held during the event: banking and finance; energy, fuel, chemicals; and information technology, the Internet, telecommunications, medicine and pharmaceuticals, transport and logistics. The honorary patronage over the event was taken by, among others, the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The conference addressed many of the key issues related to the process of digitization in Poland. The participants held a discussion about broadband network investments and the sources of their financing. They also contemplated whether the market of broadband networks will be fragmented or it will rather undergo a consolidation of infrastructure and operators.

In addition, the attendees discussed the technologies that can contribute to the construction of broadband networks. This panel was initiated with a presentation delivered by Radosław Semkło, Managing Director of the Telecommunications and Media Division at Asseco Poland and member of the Program Council.

“Tens of thousands of kilometers of broadband networks are being currently constructed throughout Poland,” said Radosław Semkło. “This new infrastructure will enable local providers to ensure internet access even to people living in the smallest towns. However, they will need to use appropriate software solutions in order to be able to serve their customers efficiently and provide them with attractive offers,” he added.

Such a system has been already developed by Asseco on the basis of experience gained when implementing the “Internet for Mazovia” project as well as long-term cooperation with the telecommunications sector. Asseco CSE is a response to the needs of optimizing IT infrastructure, managing services in real-time, as well as marketing of converged products that combine several services together into a bundle (e.g. Internet, television and electricity).

One of the speakers will be Zdzisław Wiater, Vice Director of Public Administration Division at Asseco Poland, who is going to participate in a debate on the demand for cybersecurity specialists.
