Romania…

Mihaela Gorodcov General Manager iBusiness Romania

...A very simple road focusing on one of the best IT destinations you can find for your company.

Nearsourcing, outsourcing, IT services, programming, projects development, strong IT education in at least five major cities in Romania, all of these business directions are very close to you. How can we say it better? One hour distance from the Central Europe? An oasis of stability in which the IT industry had written a real success story?

Over the ages certain roads (basically for transporting goods and people) were named after the main merchandise (or the most valuable one) traded over the continents.

May be the best known is the “Silk Road”! Or, if we think more recently, we have a very fashionable and classy example: the Orient Express Rail Road and train, connecting and linking Paris to Istanbul (passing as well through Bucharest leaving one the most elegant trade mark in the city which is Athenee Palace Hilton Hotel even today!).

Looking to these examples we see now (even in a very complicated geo-political situation and many challenges Europe has to face) an other road starting to be significant: “the IT Road” crossing Europe and landing in Bucharest, Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi (to name just a few of cities in Romania labeled as IT destinations) in which you can find the best people to develop your projects and to help you company to become more efficient in terms of saving money, reaching the best ratio between cost and performance, and, most important, having the certitude of quality and high professionalism.

It is a road more virtual may be, then the camels, horses or trains.

It is even less risky as you do not have to travel through deserts, to face dangers, or to embark in a nice (but noisy) train …..It is a quiet road and at the end of it you will find a young generation willing to be in the cutting edge of life and profession, who dares more, who is naturally

Software Industry in Romania - a Vision for IP-Based Growth -

Valerica Dragomir

Executive Director ANIS

Romania has had an important tradition in research, development and innovation in the technical field.

Romanian engineers have always been appreciated abroad and lower labor costs have helped attracting interesting and more significant projects towards the local industry.

This has been an important factor of growth, even before the domestic market became significant in its own right. Working for clients abroad helped companies, teams and specialists develop technology and industry knowledge, as teams have been involved in defining project specifications, identifying business needs and technical solutions. The capabilities thus acquired have since been used in projects for the local market or the development of own products.

Even if, given contract requirements, this information is not always made public, Romanian companies have been developing complex projects if one looks at client companies and industries, but also if we are considering the solutions delivered that tackle sensitive content, secure data etc.

Numerous R&D centers of multinational companies that are present in Romania have also created the premises of product development, even if the projects are generally commissioned by their headquarters. /4 Market Overview

All of this context has led to the development of a corpus of entrepreneurial initiatives rolled out by enthusiastic experienced professionals who have previously gained experience in complex projects for product development.

Romania has at this point seen successful product-based companies and businesses that have impacted both the entrepreneurial spirit and the technological innovation in the industry.

They might still be small in number, but have significant market value, to which a few exits at the top for niche or industry leaders have largely contributed.

As this study will show, growth for the product segment in the overall industry revenues has been slow, but steady and more manifest in absolute values.

Given the specifics of this business, that sees recurrent revenues but inversely proportional with direct costs, this steady growth is more relevant than for the services-based segment, as the embedded value of IP generated revenues will grow more quickly due to its natural ability to scale.

In a context where the human resources pool for our industry is decreasing, the services-based businesses are seeing their development conditioned by the yearly number of people entering the

labor market; IP-based businesses, on the other hand, do not have the same type of constraint, since they employ fewer, but better-skilled people, with very diverse backgrounds, rather business than technical related.

The general context is favorable to the emergence of more entrepreneurial initiatives and startups. Opportunities for financing the businesses are raising and more money is available through investment funds and business angels, there are networks of accelerators and incubators and hubs – either local or international – interested in raising the profiles of Romanian startups, there are programs designed to encourage and assist entrepreneurs in bringing their ideas to life, there are already incentives, support legislation and alternative financial instruments for funding new projects and ideas.

ANIS as a representative association for the software industry in Romania has made it its mission to encourage the development of the local industry, both for the services and for the product development segments.

We are however adamant in voicing our public support for an IP-based business model for our industry, based on the exceptional opportunity that this industry has to see exponential growth.

Agile Transformation

A Digital Interactive Point of View

Agile adoption has been on the roadmap of every organization that wants to survive the digital revolution and every employee struggles through learning to declare his or hers allegiance to the Agile Manifesto. Beyond this organizational commitment, there is a question that few of us dare to ask: is our agile working for each of us?

In 2014 agile adoption became a priority for IBM Client Innovation Center in Romania and today our organization has a story not only on how people (both IBM employees and IBM client representatives) are working agile, but also on how agility works for everyone.

Understanding the Philosophy and Defining Scopes

In order to adhere as organization to the agile way of working we first had to determine if this is a good strategy. IBM has more than 100 years of existence and owes his longevity to its core values and practices; and from its establishment IBM Client Innovation Center in Romania has proven outstanding results because of building its working ideology on those values, namely: Put the client first Listen for need, envision the future Share expertise Dare to create original ideas Treasure wild ducks

Our own company philosophy together with the agile ideology have given our scopes: Because belief of teams matter, our company culture is aligned to Agile Manifesto.

When doing complex work, motivated heterogeneous teams are resourced because they experience more conflict. A team’s performance is determined by how well it handles conflict situations.

Work spaces are highly configurable and allow team members to experiment with anything from space and furniture.

Organizational Design

Any transformation that is recommended to a customer experiences its first iteration within our organization. On our path to agile reinvention we started with us, on our internal projects. These proven success cases and deliverables have later one served as starting point when leveraging solutions to our potential clients.

Futhermore, we focused on customer experience when it comes to tailoring the right solution.

As stated in the introduction, agile seems the trending approach when comes to solution delivery and many projects/organization adopt it because /6 Romanian Companies

they noticed “it works for the others”.

Yet, the agile software development represents a set of principles in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between selforganizing, cross-functional teams.

Agile methodology promotes: adaptive planning continuous improvement early delivery evolutionary development rapid and flexible response to change.

The last bullet of this enumeration is the most valuable for customers, but also the part of agile methodology that generates most

confusion within organizations. The best case scenario of agile is software development in which clients can continuously change their expectations, while the team responsible for development fastly implements them.

Yet this scenario generates the “agile nightmare” : a project with requirements and code in a continuous change that allows lesser time for disciplined software development.

Through listening the needs of our clients we relate to their business requirements, adapt the deliverables and envision a solution to meet their expectations.

The 16th Edition, March 2016 - Romanian IT&C Directory

Having in mind the previous presented extreme scenarios, we continuously create and improve our agile approach: Through collaboration with our clients we provide information about how can our business generate a feasible solution, but also we can adapt our plans for early delivery.

In order to ensure continuous improvement we dare to create original ideas.

Our coding standards ensure not only quality, but also readability. This is given by the balance between documentation and code, combined together to be as understable as natural language.

Sharing expertise is common to all IBMers, no matter their organizational level. This translates into rapid and flexible response to changes.

The self-organized teams are driven by another IBM value: unite to get it done now.

Agile Methodology and Architectural Principles Our Agile with Discipline model enhances traditional agile methods with discipline that comes from soft-skill project management. The model focuses on five key practices to ensure speed, quality and productivity in every mobile app development project.

Every deliverable embeds design thinking in order to understand the complexities of each transformation and align it to the business objectives. Component based architecture introduces a series of advantages for current and future development: what is needed now is delivered with an implementation that is later on reused or enhanced with minimal efforts. A component based solution ensures resilience and maintainability as technology evolves.

Outcomes

Promoting iterative development through sprints together with test driven development offers the following: Finding and fixing issues. Typically, Rational Quality Manager is recommended for this area.

Early review and refactor of what was delivered: each developer is responsible for the code created and commited, but his colleagues support his work through reviews. Rational Team Concert offers a reliable support for code maintanance and review.

Rapid development and early client access to deliverables. The client can observe what is completed with each sprint and adjustments can be made. The UrbanCode Deploy tool ensures continuous integration and deployment of changes on platforms that can be made available to clients.

For continuous integration our practice relies on cloud and DevOps solutions to rapidly provision environments, to establish automated build and deployment processes. In addition, IBM products can be easily integrated with other solutions existing on the market in order to provide: Automated, consistent deployments and rollbacks of applications Orchestration of changes across servers, tiers and components Configuration and security differences across environments Clear visibility: what is deployed where and who changed what

IBM Client Innovation Center in Romania is defined by being an Agile business environment oriented on performance.

Having in mind company values and our dedication to every client’s success, we easily adapt to customer collaboration over contract negotiation. Innovation that matters, for our company and for the rest of the world is achieved through uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. The experimental approach to physical space allows flexibility in type of work we are doing: we feel comfortable to nurture ideas and solutions together. Each team personalizes pods and white board according to their project’s needs; while others can have video monitors in quiet rooms displaying digital burn down.

Besides the visible business results,

we can mention those that mentain our inner organizational satisfaction: Each IBMer is concerned by value of their work and the balance between agility and technology.

Team focus is around on adopting the right solution(s) in order to deliver the desired results.

Self-organized teams are described by change, communication, goals and decision making.

Tactical work calls are for understanding client needs and prioritizing tasks.

Leaders fulfill the “3T” executive roles: “strategic thinking, team focus and tactical work”.

Romania is Surfing on the Digital Wave There is a range of evidence that Romania is on an upward trend in terms of new technologies assimilation. Traditionally mapped on emerging-market model, Romania become a country where the IT industry contribution to the GDP is surpassing that of Agriculture ... Many of the innovative technologies generating a disruptive reactions in mature economy, are naturally assimilated in Romania. The business value of Romanian Cloud solutions is recognized in EuroCloud international contest.

Romania has been one of the bestperforming economies in the European Union in 2015, with a GDP growth rate estimated at 4%. New reports are showing this performances may continue to improve this year, with 5% average GDP growth due to tax cuts and salary increases, which may further boost domestic consumption and may bring new investors to the country.

A country where IT industry has 2nd contribution at GDP With more than 7.5% growing in last year, and 6% estimated contribution to country GDP, IT&C is one of the fastest growth industry. Practically IT is 2nd contributor in Romania’s 2.9% economic growth, more than agriculture contribution. IDC expects IT spending in Romania to grow at a CAGR of 2.4% over the five-year forecast period to total $3.37 billion in 2017.

According EU Digital Agenda 2020 projections Romania will reach EUR 2.4 billion in IT&C investments, representing +13% GDP growth, + 11% employment growth, and 2% decline in administrative costs. From EUR 850 million expected from EU Operational Program funding, more than EUR 30 million will be Cloud computing investment.

With +520 Euro million spending in 2015 (IDC), Romanian Cloud computing market is well positioned in regional landscape due to its strong networking infrastructure, low cost high speed /8 Market Overview

In GFK/ Intel market research (2014 – 100 SMB companies, 50-200 employers) the main results are showing the main benefits offered by Cloud services are: synchronization and remote access to data and services (75%), fixed cost offered as utilities services (36%), processing and storage facilities (32%).

Main threats related to Cloud in SMB vision are data privacy (45%), lack of budgets (40%), data lost (32%).

Romanian ISV and Start-ups competing on EU Cloud market Romanian Cloud market aspiring to the mature stage is confirmed by the active participation of local ISV and small developers to international contest organised by EuroCloud.

Ymens won in 2014 the “Best Cloud Service Public Sector” prize for National Registry project

Opportunities and growth drivers As part of the EU accession, Romania gained entry to EU IT&C programs and an inflow of funds, designed to assimilate the country into the EU’s broader Information Society. EUR 850 million is expected to be secured from the European Operational Program funding during 2014-2020. This will ensure continued support of structural funds for IT&C development over the medium term.

According EY estimations (Romanian Business Digest, August 2015) Romania’s GDP growth will average 3.4% annually during 2015-2019, while real private final consumption is forecast to average 2.7% annually over the same period. The bullish growth outlook will boost the IT market via higher levels of consumer and business confidence.

Policy reform will be another important driver of IT market development, reinforcing the positive medium

term outlook for the market. Deeper integration into the European policy umbrella is expected to facilitate growth not only in outsourcing, where Romania is a regional leader, but also in more advanced IT services such as cloud computing.

Software will experience less stellar growth, with the ERP market only at an early phase of development, where larger companies and organizations are still the major driver. However, enterprise resource planning has reported 20% growth and looks set to remain a major opportunity as businesses invest in cost saving efficiency measures to modernize and compete at the European level.

Real potential for Cloud development in the next We are confident in Cloud future in Romania. According to some local studies business solutions developed in Cloud will grow with an average 1520% each year, market potential being estimated at + Euro 200 Million until 2018. SaaS segment will represent according IDC more than 15% of the market sales in the next four years. Most popular application in Cloud are ERP and CRM systems, with spectacular growing in the next future.

Concluding, we can assume in Romania Cloud industry is gaining a real, ascending trend. For Romanian industrial and business communities Cloud adoption is starting to become more than a disruptive factor. Cloud is the reality.

Who is cloud mania? cloud mania is a knowledge platform for Cloud and business transformation. After 3 years of active presence in international Cloud communities, cloud mania is recognized as one of the most valuable independent Cloud dedicated social technology platform from Central East Europe. http://cloudmania2013.com/ /9 Market Overview

Deloitte Global 2016 TMT Predictions Summary: Communication in the social and economic market is evolving

Graphic: Deloite University Press | DUPress.com

Intro:

Changes in how we pay, share, store, and experience technology are highly anticipated, according to Deloitte Global’s 2016 report on Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) Predictions. Virtual reality will boom financially, and communicating over LTE and WiFi will reach new heights.

The next 12-18 months are sure to bring a multitude of developments, particularly in the fields of technology and telecommunications.

Technology: Spotlight on: Virtual Reality: Cognitive technologies enhance enterprise software Virtual reality (VR) will have its first billion dollar year in 2016. The majority of spending will done by core users rather than casual gamers, even though anyone with a smart phone will access to multiple variants of VR. / 12 Market Trends

While VR is expected to reach a major milestone, in the long run it is likely to struggle with reaching the global adoption and ubiquity known by the smartphone, PC, or television until the ability to produce a total immersive experience improves.

“We are seeing significant growth potential in cognitive technologies, such as computer vision, natural language processing and machine learning. This year 80 of the top 100 enterprise software companies are expected to be using cognitive technologies, thus unleashing the potential Internet of Things” says Paul Sallomi, Deloitte Global TMT Industry Leader. “While cognitive technologies may get less attention from consumers than new virtual headsets, it is likely to be much more important in the long run for the enterprise and for consumers alike.”

The IT Female Workforce: going beyond education – it is expected that

less than 25% of the IT job market will be held by women, which is a slight drop from last year’s results.

Graphene: research now, reward next decade – although the graphene materials market is likely to be in the low tens of millions of dollars, over hundreds of millions of dollars are expected to be invested in furthering the material’s research and development. In the next few years graphene may be incorporated into products valuing billions of dollars – but it could be decades before its potential is fully realized.

Touch Commerce: mobile payments, the new express lane – in a world where ‘quick and easy’ is the mantra, the number of third party touch-based payment services is likely to increase by 150%, reaching over 50 million users by the end of 2016. Touch commerce allows shoppers to browse retail sites, as well as bypass laborious payment processes.

Queuing to pay may become a thing of the past.

We are market leaders in terms of providing essential tools for the medical professionals through our multiple specialized interfaces, excellent data security, regarding both ERP and CRM software.

the present is yours, we bring you the future

Info World just recently celebrated 15 years of excellence on the IT&C Market, working exclusively in eHealth. The recognition and the results received since the company’s inauguration are the best proof of their relentless work for both partners and clients. They have attained accolades for their constant capacity to learn and implement innovative techniques in both products and services; yet they always are aware that their field of expertise is information technology – the most rapidly transforming market in today’s society.

The medical field also needs to benefit from revolutionary products which should satisfy its need for communication, mobility, and most importantly security. Software applications are now used extensively on mobile devices and services performed by doctors are also digitally signed. Due to these developments a particular interest is being manifested at an international level for topics like secure communication, access and transference of medical data.

Info World is an active participant in the world of cybersecurity, both by conducting research projects, as well as by taking part in conferences and scientific presentations alongside our partners from the academic and/or corporate environments. The messages coming from all the participants in this field are clear in the sense that we need to take urgent measures in accelerating the implementation of international standards, both in new projects and in the ones currently in production.

Our company has recently obtained important certificates for the implementation of international regulations incorporated into products that our customers are using.

I am referring to Meaningful Use Stage 2 Certification and HISP (Health Internet Service Provider) qualification by the EHNAC (Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission).

I consider that the safety and protection of personal data has become of the utmost importance when both storing and transferring it, regardless of whether it is on the cloud, online platforms or mobile devices such as: smartphones, tablets, or laptops.

“ Alexandru Pereteanu Project Manager Mobile Development

One of our most recent goals has been to create a mobile application that reduces the time doctors spend in front of the screen and redirect it to quality time spent with their patients. We have decided to do so by creating a native mobile application for iOS and Android due to it being more secure, and it capitalizing on functions already present in smart phones.

Teamnet: A glimpse into the future of public safety

We undoubtedly live in the era of technology, in a time where what used to take years to research, create, implement and innovate happens at a pace that seems unbelievable. Technology is at the core of our society, leading the digital transformation and powering not only our day-to day-lives, but also activities or industries we might have no idea that depend on technology.

In agriculture, transportation, environment or public safety, for example, technology is rarely the first aspect that comes into mind, but the reality is that complex and innovative technological solutions are critical to the evolution of these areas of the society, making peoples’ lives easier and safer.

Inspired by technology and with innovation in its DNA, Teamnet Group - a leading regional System Integrator and one of the fastest growing businesses in its field - constantly places innovation at the core of its business philosophy with the key objective to enhance the evolution of society in Romania and in the region. By pushing technology beyond its limits, Teamnet develops magnitude projects in important areas where they make a real difference, like emergency situations as part of public safety.

“Innovation is the core of our society’s evolution. This is why we have made innovation our mission and why we are now focusing our resources and expertise in public safety and in harnessing advanced technologies and solutions such as UAV, GIS, eCall, EWS or even face recognition, to create a universal emergency situations management system that fuels a faster decisional process, increases the response time and decreases the recovery from crisis situation at a regional level, ultimately saving more lives”, says Bogdan Padiu, CEO of Teamnet Group. Today, the Group’s advanced solutions are widely used in the emergency situations in Romania and in the region. / 18 Romanian Companies

Over 1.4 million emergency calls are managed every month in Romania through Teamnet’s solution that powers the 112 emergency management system. Moreover, a total of 26 million people in Romania, Serbia and Bulgaria benefit from the protection offered by EmerGIS, the core emergency product designed

by Teamnet for the integrated management and coordination of emergency and disaster situations.

The solution has been implemented in 16 national and regional organizations and is currently being used by 1,500 operators to manage emergency situations.

Central or regional emergency management agencies, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, emergency medical services and rescue units can insure the safety and protection of more lives with the help of this innovative solution that covers all the core capabilities needed in a modern emergency system, such as GIS, telephony integration, resource management, dispatching module and analytics. Teamnet’s EmerGIS also helps mitigate, prepare, respond and recover from crisis situations such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or preannounced events. Furthermore, it helps agencies manage disasters through the integration with early warning systems, drones, face recognition, mobile command & control centers and disaster management tools.

Airborne technology for better emergency response

Alongside EmerGIS, Teamnet’s leading airborne technology is essential in any emergency situation as it allows immediate location, information detection and a fast, targeted and lowcost intervention in case of disasters. The UAV systems are an essential extension of EmerGIS and beyond that, one of the company’s long-term projects that has a great potential to significantly transform society. Currently, Teamnet successfully integrates UAV systems offering accurate real-time data from the air, and is actively involved in the research and development of new, improved functionalities, aiming to help public safety authorities to better prepare and respond to emergencies and even reduce the impact of future emergencies.

Teamnet’s UAV systems are already being used in several countries in the region and have been making a real difference through extensive applicability in various industries such as agriculture, public safety, urban development border surveillance and also forestry. Integrating UAV systems and technology has been providing institutions such as the Border Police, the Coast Guards and Emergency Agencies at a European level with highly effective and advanced surveillance solutions.

As UAVs become more and more a standard part of operations in many industries with extensive applicability in search and rescue, precision agriculture or oil and gas pipeline inspections

The 16th Edition, March 2016 - Romanian IT&C Directory

over the coming years, Teamnet’s UAV systems will become more and more complex, integrating proprietary systems such as GIS, Command and Control Center, Cloud based information sharing.

Emergency simulator for better emergency preparedness Teamnet’s expertise in public safety solutions goes beyond the national emergency situation management systems or border and coast surveillance solutions. To help the public safety taskforce better prepare for emergency situations, Teamnet Group has also developed EmerSIM, a disaster simulation solution. EmerSIM offers authorities and professionals in public safety with cost-effective tabletop exercises and 3D simulations of real life emergency situations. The program is highly adaptable to any organization structure and it provides disasterlike information flood with visual,

”

audio, document and social media feeds, realistic resource mapping and allocations as well as interactive tactical maps. All of these elements are crucial because they allow for the trainees to have their plans, timing, prioritization, resource allocation or collaboration assessed and improved, leading to faster response times and better management of the emergency situations that help prevent the loss of human lives.

In perspective, Teamnet Group’s plans are even more ambitious. The group is part of a prestigious international consortium that develops NEXES or the Next Generation Emergency Services.

NEXES stands out through its ambitious objective to deliver innovation to 112 services across Europe and lead to the development of a universal emergency situations management system, through the research and development of advanced IP-based communication systems and technologies. Part of the HORIZON2020 R&D program, NEXES

aims to democratize and standardize activities in emergency situations throughout Europe and is one step closer to this objective by using Teamnet technologies that enable the use of total conversation capabilities in emergencies, including social media, in order to create a safer society to the benefit of all citizens.

With eight years’ experience in the public safety field and 70+ specialists in its Emergency division, including product managers, specialists in the management of emergency situations, Business Analysts, project managers, GIS specialists, programmers and testers, Teamnet has a unique position in its field and is not only one of the most important system integrators in the region, but also an expert in delivering public safety and border control systems.

www.teamnet.ro

What we’ve achieved so far is only a glimpse into the future of public safety. I believe it is only a matter of time before UAVs will be able to time deliver vital medical equipment and treatment for people in emergency situations. In the future, we will see innovative technologies working seamlessly to anticipate emergency situations, to speed response times and to help manage the situations with minimum impact on human lives and on the environment. Last but not least, all this will be done through universal management systems that will harness extensive resources at European level in order to insure better protection for the citizens. This is a future Teamnet Group not only wants to be part of, but aspires to have a significant contribution to making it happen

The Social Responsible Leader Paula Apreutesei

Senior Researcher and Strategy Advisor for The CSR Institute

When we read the companies reports, we look for the core subjects, the governance framework, the principles and the financial integrated numbers. Assuming the transparency principle is respected and the reporting follows GRI1/ISO260002 or other guidance, we may conclude that the respective company is responsible. This is when the fiscal year has ended, the reports are published and the plans for the following year are ready. Is this enough for the sustainability? The cycle of innovation brings new business opportunities. The company embraces change and is well prepared to bring

products first, to respond to competition and to satisfy its customers. The thought leader of the market has a strong relationship with its stakeholders and it is ready to incorporate their feedback in the business strategy. Can something go wrong in the public perception with all these positive assumptions? Yes, and the plan for crisis situation should be immediately applied. If the risk for financial damages could be insured, the public perception damage cannot.

What can be done, though, is to always act as a social responsible leader. And this would attenuate the damages and can increase credibility of the communication.

What do we mean by “social responsible leader”? People, first. For the company cannot make decision and cannot suffer damages. People can. So, “leader” means the top people responsible with running the company.

The Governance framework is about

accountability and transparency. Social responsibility principles should be core to the culture of the organization. The known saying “the fish rots from the head” explains it well. If the top people in the company are not living the values of the organization in everyday life and are not making the decision based on agreed principles, the company is exposed. No matter the double-digit growth numbers, the money invested in CSR campaigns and the number of trees planted in the spring. Forget all of these. Start with the governance framework and make sure everything in the company is run accordingly.

In the first section of General Standard Disclosure (GRI4) it is stated that the sustainability report should “Provide a statement from the most senior decision-maker of the organization (such as CEO, chair, or equivalent senior position) about the relevance of sustainability to the organization and the organization’s strategy for addressing sustainability.

Global Reporting Initiative https://www.globalreporting.org/resourcelibrary/GRIG4-Part1-Reporting-Principles-and-Standard-Disclosures.pdf International Organization for Standardization http://www.iso.org/iso/iso26000

/ 20 Market Overview

The 16th Edition, March 2016 - Romanian IT&C Directory

This statement should not be seen as a PR exercise. The guidance for sustainability reporting specifies the content of the statement: „the overall vision and strategy for the short term, medium term, and long term, particularly with regard to managing the significant economic, environmental and social impacts that the organization causes and contributes to, or the impacts that can be linked to its activities as a result of relationships with others (such as suppliers, people or organizations in local communities).” So, each time you read a company report and find the photos of the CxO people, judge it on this compliance criterion.

The executive education curricula include now sustainability modules and this is about to shift the perception of what corporate social responsible is all about. The CSR discussion is moved in the boardroom.

The social responsible leader should practice the following two things: Recognize the aspects of core subjects of social responsibility which applies to the company. GRI states these aspects under the Materiality principle.

This is a very concrete exercise. Get together with business line managers and identify the significant economic, environmental and social impacts and the company’s actions which substantively influence the assessments and decisions of stakeholder.

Engage stakeholders in planning and implementation of the strategy. The social responsible leader should care about the environment in which the company operates. By environment we mean people and places. This is the second concrete exercise each executive should do.

Get together and identify the stakeholders. Who are the people the company is affecting by its activities?

Who are the stakeholders who can influence the company’s decisions on short, medium and long term? The communication with stakeholders is key for the credibility of the company.

Historically, the executive of the company has been judged by the shareholders on the basis of the profit the company makes. ‘Show me the money” and “the business of a business is to do business” was the tagline of many corporate runners. Millennium Development Goals (2001-2015) showed another two bottom lines which executives should consider: environment and society. Now, in 2016, the new agenda for sustainability is in place and it includes a universal set of goals, targets and indicators that UN member states are expected to consider and include in their policies for the next 15 years. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals which head to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by the year 2030.

When passion and perseverance lead to innovation How did you managed to put INSOFT on the map of the major companies from the IT&C industry in Romania?

We started with a very dynamic, passionate and creative team, many ideas for developing new software products and a lot of enthusiasm. In time, we focused on streamlining our operational activity, we diversified the range of software solutions developed as well as the implemented projects, and strengthened our role as an integrator of complete IT systems.

We also focused on investing in R&D projects to deliver first class solutions to all our clients from the private and public sector.

Now we are proud to say that we are one of the main software houses that develops innovative products and integrates complete IT&C systems in Romania, offering advanced solutions, nationally and internationally, in the following fields: education, health, emergency situations, labour market, government and business environment.

What are the projects you are most proud of?

For us, the success is measured in the quality of our solutions and the opportunities supplied to the final beneficiaries. Last year, we successfully finished several projects for improving the access to the labour market through efficient IT solutions.

We had a major contribution to the implementation of the project – INFUSE – “Training for providing modern services”, implemented by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Protection and Elderly in partnership with several private companies.

Cristian Aciubotăriței,

The Ministry of Labour was provided with a complete solution based on modern and innovative IT resources, for training and certifying the competences of 6.500 social workers all over Romania. 43 videoconference centers were fully equipped, integrated system for collaboration, training and management of the target group as well as 40 highly interactive digital courses and all associated services were provided.

Among other projects we are proud of, I can mention “Supporting SMEs by developing an e-business structure in Timis County and neighboring district of Serbia”, where we developed an innovative e-business solution, that provides useful information about the local administration, tourist attractions, cultural events and business opportunities and the project for the Department for Information and Internal Protection (DIIP), where we implemented a complete eLearning solution (learnIN) for the training of employees, granting them access to over 25 educational courses which included 880 hours of interactive digital content.

CEO INSOFT Development & Consulting

Which do you consider to be the main IT trend for 2016?

As technology is constantly evolving, I believe that the IT industry transformation will challenge us to become more innovative and to provide smarter solutions based on interactive user experience.

Furthermore, 2016 holds great expectations with regard to virtual reality technology and applications offering immersive experiences.

Taking all this into consideration, we are very proud to mention our investment in a major innovative project in Central Europe – CREVIS – that includes a unique center of excellence providing immersive virtual environments. This project established the first center of excellence in Europe that uses an immersive cube for virtual reality and provides services for remotemonitoring, resource training and simulation in the critical infrastructure sector.

Digital transformation is happening now !

We Know Why, Let’s Talk About How

Digital Transformation is being talked about everywhere. It is the hot topic not only in the IT industry but across industries! Why? Because those companies who master the transformation - digital masters outperform their peers by at least 25% in profitability!

There has never been a bigger opportunity to innovate. We are at the stage where digitalization is taking over.

It’s not a question of what, it’s a question of when and by whom is it going to be digitalized. Cloud, Big Data, Mobility and Social are the most important drivers.

On our mission to digitalize, we are going to need not only the tools which are going to support our customers to move faster and with greater agility than ever, but we also need to adapt our business structure; our business model needs critical observation in order to be ready for the challenges of the new era.

We consider that IT personnel who’ve previously spent their working hours down in the tactical weeds focused on internal support, constitute a powerful, untapped strategic resource.

Properly utilized and redirected into agile-response mode, their skills and

expertise can have a positive impact on bottom-line results.

We have taken into consideration IDC recommendations and responded quickly in taking the following measures: Acquisition of new talents and capabilities. The old excuse ‘we don’t have time for that now’ just doesn’t apply anymore. Make time for it now, get started immediately, or it won’t matter in a few years.

Cultivate and train internal talent as a way to shift skill sets to those that are needed to support digital transformation.

Build a solid architectural foundation of ‘plug and play’ services that enable new digital products and services. Be the “enterprise broker” of internal and external services.

The role of IT is rapidly changing, and insightful IT organizations are positioning themselves to be at the forefront of this change. Omnilogic intends to be part of this change.

How to transform traditional IT culture, process, tools, and budgets by delivering and managing any app on any device from one platform has become our major business objective.

Fueled by mandates to create

Gabriel Marin

CEO Omnilogic

products and services that meet customers’ preferences for interacting with corporate brands online and from mobile devices, Omnilogic has interacted with many CIOs in 2015. Using security, mobility, analytics and cloud technologies to buttress operations, we will refine our efforts for a digital transformation approach. The efforts are motivated by both: opportunity and fear.

Great opportunities lie in being ‘first to market’ with innovative digital products or services; virtually every company fears missing an opportunity to capitalize on the rise of digital technologies.

Our own data center was designed and built as a dedicated, professional, flexible and secure IT environment, made available exclusively to Omnilogic strategic customers. The equipment and servers in Omnilogic Data Center are stateof-art, coming from world leaders in the industry.

Thanks to “state-of-the-art” solutions and to the facilities offered, the alternative choice of transfer, connectivity and Omnilogic Data Center support services is a winning investment in favor of a more costly and risky one, involving a significant capital expenditure.
