We enhanced the Jupiter application, and integrated it into the online banking portal of our customer Equa Bank. This enables them to sell investment tools to customers 24/7/365.

Country Director Czech Republic and Slovakia
For Cegeka in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, 2018 was an exciting year, full of changes and inspiring stories.
We fulfilled our ambition to set up new business lines and explore new technologies. First, we adopted a new CMS solution – Kentico – which helped us broaden our focus beyond the financial sector. Second, we doubled down on our efforts to put the new “Professional Services” business line up to speed. Third, we increased our investment in Blockchain technology. This included building a Smart Contracts PoC (Proof of Concept) for a multinational logistics company, which involved a cross-country Cegeka team as well as customer stakeholders in several countries.
It goes without saying that we continued our investment in the Rebecca and Jupiter solutions, which are aimed towards local banks, insurance companies and pension funds. We also made considerable efforts to keep our people with Sitecore and Microsoft Dynamics skills totally up to date. Finally, this year we are able to report growth for our nearshoring capacities in the Czech Republic.
Last but not least, we changed our location in Prague, where we moved to brand new building called Greenline Centre in Prague 4. We also established a branch in Olomouc in Central Moravia, so as to be able to spread our (technical) resources and competencies. The Olomouc branch is located in a city with a renowned university and several educational institutions. I am very proud of both our new offices.
Milestones
We built two Blockchain PoCs (Proofs of Concept) for Smart Contracts for an international logistics company. This is a global solution, usable and reusable across continents.
As of May 2018, we moved to a new office at the Greenline Centre at Prague 4. Our new work environment combines a modern look & feel with better accessibility and sustainability. Our sunny terrace allows employees and customers to gaze at Kunratice Forest, the green lung of Prague.
