Adam Góra, CEO of Asseco Poland, said: We paid around 0.5 billion PLN in corporate tax in Poland over the last decade and I am proud that we are supporting our economy in this way, too. Each company that belongs to the Asseco Group pays taxes in the country where it operates and obtains revenue.

The first project will be implemented for the benefit of Access Bank, one of the 5 largest banks in Nigeria. Under the terms of the agreement, ASN acting together with Asseco Poland, will implement Swift Confirmation Matching Module - part of the def3000/Treasury solution. This module allows for banking transactions to be closed by pairing them with the confirmation obtained from the Swift system. Estimated completion date is set for the third quarter of 2016.
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. Estimated completion date is set for the second quarter of 2017.
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.

Asseco APMS is a tool offering comprehensive support in process management for internal control and internal audit departments. Its functionality is currently used by Getin Noble Bank and Podkarpacki Cooperative Bank in Sanok.
"We are constantly co-operating with the Enterprises Division to further develop our software" - said Magdalena Jędrzejewska, Head of Internal Audit at Asseco Poland. "We all want it to meet the expectations of our customers, as well as the highest performance standards. We are pleased that the latest version of our software was awarded an IIA certificate" - she added.
The Institute of Internal Auditors is the oldest and largest organization of internal auditors in the world. It comprises almost 200 thousand people associated in nearly 200 national chapters and affiliated organizations. The IIA is the global leader in the field of standardization, certification, research, education, and practical preparation for practising the profession of internal auditor.

The event provided an opportunity to exchange know-how and good practices. Asseco monitors current trends closely, in order for its software to meet the highest global standards.

User Experience is one of the most important aspects taken into account when developing software nowadays. Expected as a well-established standard are solutions that provide intuitive navigation, are aesthetically pleasing, can do everything that they are asked to do at that very moment. We want to provide exactly that kind of software at Asseco - commented Sławomir Ziajka, Head of the Department of Planning and Product Development at Asseco Poland.

Asseco also took patronage over a workshop entitled 'Smart electricity? Let's design the future of Customer Experience in the utilities industry.' The subject of smart electricity is particularly dear to Asseco; the company has been cooperating with the utilities sector for a long time. One of its flagship products is the Asseco Utility Management Solutions, a modern CIS-class system, which was the only Polish solution featured in the prestigious 'Magic Quadrant' report by Gartner.

Energy companies compete for customers ever so strongly, using advanced IT systems. They are used by both the company employees and by the end consumers. It is important that the systems are functional, easy to use, safe and user-friendly - said Tomasz Bendlewski, Head of the Energy Department at Asseco Poland.

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 award-winning Asseco Customer Banking Platform is a unique solution for Internet and mobile banking.

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).
