I. CHAIRMAN´S LETTER
Dear shareholders and investors, valued customers, dear colleagues, dear readers,
The year 2016 was the year of consolidation for us in Asseco Central Europe. We focused our activities on enhancement of the quality of our internal processes and deepening of relationships with our current customers. Thus, we strengthened both our position within the Asseco Group and the position in the local market and we expanded our business activities over new markets. By the beginning of the year, we succeeded in concluding the first significant commercial contract in the area of comprehensive insurance in Nigeria. We supplied our comprehensive information system StarINS to the Wapic Company. The LIDS solution for management of public lighting systems and information boards, which was implemented by our subsidiary company Asseco Berit Germany in cooperation with the Brno GIS&Utility division, won the tough competition in Vienna. We actively searched for new business partners and customers in so called emerging markets. We directed our business ambitions towards the countries such as Iran, Kazakhstan, and Portugal and by the end of the year, we started to focus on Vietnam.
Our financial results in Slovakia were satisfactory also due to the market situation. We stabilized the situation in the Czech Republic - it was rather complicated in past years especially in the area of public administration. We have been expanding our business activities in the region of Central Europe. In Slovakia, we have retained our first position in the ranking by the weekly magazine Trend in the category "Largest IT Suppliers to Private Financial Sector" and the second position in the category "The Fastest Growing Slovak IT Companies". The IBM Company granted the title "2015 IBM Analytics Solutions Partner" to us. In the Czech Republic, we received the prestigious prize "2015 CZECH Stability Award".
The strategy built on successful implementation of large projects, within which we adjusted our products to individual needs of clients, was successful in Českomoravská stavební spořitelna - the largest building savings bank in the Czech Republic and the second largest bank of this kind in Europe. In March, we successfully completed the program of fundamental generational change of IT systems of that bank. Currently, our solution is used as the main information system in four out of the five building savings banks in the Czech Republic and thanks to this fact, the solution of the Asseco Company became a standard for building savings banks in the Czech Republic.
The information systems for Všeobecná zdravotná poisťovňa (General Health Insurance Company) were prized during the ITAPA congress the last year. ADMIS - a solution for the Financial Directorate - has been the key information system in the environment of the Financial Directorate of the SR since its implementation in 2014. Our products were similarly successful also in the banking sector and as concerns the Registers in the Czech Republic, which play the fundamental role within the development of the key eGovernment system.
Also in 2016, subsidiary company Asseco Solutions, focusing on ERP solutions, confirmed its position as one of the largest ERP producers in Central and Eastern Europe. The company continues its strategy of expansion not only in the existing but also in new markets. It has expanded its activities in Italy and the region of Central America where the
