We are proud to announce that you’ll be able to meet two of our team mates, Rafal and Mateusz, as presenters at Flash Camp 2010 in Warsaw. They were judges in Flash Challange 2010 competition and were asked to share their knowledge at this event. It happened to be a tradition for our employees to be there as in previous year Wojciech was giving his speech at Flash Camp 2009.

You will be able to meet the rest of the team as well, we’re looking forward to meet you at the after party!!

Best regards,
The Team.

News from the Cracow office

wjptak — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:38:05 +0000

We’re growing faster than we thought. After 15 months we had to move to the new, bigger office. Now we are located in a beautiful apartment with windows facing Wolnica sq. in old Kazimierz district in Cracow. We are already after our opening party, have a look at our facebook page for some photos.

Waclaw Bargiel joined our contracted full time team. He will be responsible for server side development and quality in our projects. There is a lot of work, so we keep our fingers crossed and we welcome him warmly in the team. It seems, it’s not the last C# developer that might join the company full time before holidays this year. We’ll keep you posted.

For us spring looks pretty much booked and busy. We’re looking forward to make some great inspiring projects for Heineken HQ in Amsterdam, The Coca-Cola Company McDonald’s division in Atlanta, Ferrero HQ in Luxembourg, Adecco Amsterdam and more. Hopefully, it will allow us to ask more talented people to join our team.

Best regards,
Wojciech

Update on business

wjptak — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 10:42:33 +0000

Last two weeks were pretty fruitful when it comes to meetings with our clients and potential contacts.

During last week, 6-8th October, Mark and Wojciech attended the Coca Cola Global Juices senior finance management meeting in Amsterdam and presented our progress in P&L Tools project for this group. Project itself is highly sophisticated tool that allows quick P&L analysis and modeling basing on the data gathered quarterly from countries all around the world. We are very happy to say that project was very well received.

On 8th October Jarek, Product Manager for Opus, joined us in London for a meeting with one of our main Opus clients which is Ferrero Rocher UK. We reviewed our progress and briefly talked about extension project that will allow OPUS to connect directly to client’s sophisticated data sources.

For Mark this week started with a meeting with potential customer, Coca Cola Greece. Lucky for him, considering weather in most parts of the EU he had a pleasure to get some tan.

Then, together with Carl and Hein, had a meeting with a hot potential project team of KPMG in Amsterdam. We keep our fingers crossed for this project.
