adesso Schweiz AG continues to expand and will be represented in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland in the future. The Swiss consulting and IT service provider has now opened its fifth location, joining the existing offices in Zurich, Bern, Basel and Lausanne, which already employ a total of around 300 members of staff.

adesso Schweiz AG continua a espandersi e sarà presto rappresentata anche nella Svizzera italiana. Accanto alle sedi esistenti di Zurigo, Berna, Basilea e Losanna, che in totale contano già circa 300 collaboratori, il fornitore di consulenza e servizi IT svizzero apre ora a Lugano la sua quinta filiale.

Antibiotic resistance is on the rise around the world. The inappropriate use of antibiotics has resulted in more and more drugs becoming ineffective. A consequence of this is the subsequent unhindered spread of infectious diseases. This is a serious threat to world health and is the subject of research in various projects around the globe. adesso SE has been engaged by the Global AMR R&D Hub to develop an IT platform that will provide an overview of the key research activities around the world.

The BOTTO digital assistant now provides active support in the service business of Fiducia & GAD IT AG. To ensure innovative development in the banking sector, the IT service provider for Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken in Germany sought reinforcement from its industry colleague adesso. In a joint project, a service assistant was developed that automatically provide bankers with information about their banking business in accordance with their individual needs.

La société de conseil et de services informatiques adesso sera également représentée aux Pays-Bas et en Hongrie à l'avenir. Les deux nouveaux bureaux européens sont situés dans les capitales d'Amsterdam et de Budapest. Ils s'occuperont du déploiement du portefeuille de services du Groupe adesso sur les marchés néerlandais et hongrois.

adesso is once again expanding its SmartShore service, which it launched in mid-2016. Along with the team in Turkey, which has successfully been integrated, the new location in Bulgaria has been providing additional capacity since June of this year. This has allowed the IT service provider to handle the largest individual contract to date in the growing SmartShore services business: adesso is supporting the in-house IT department at a German direct insurer during the introduction of a new portfolio management system and in its daily operations. The total contract volume is around EUR 2.5 million.

With the presentation of its half-year report, adesso AG has confirmed its growth-driven sales and earnings forecast for 2018. In the first six months of 2018, adesso Group increased sales year on year almost entirely organically by 19 % to a new half-year record of EUR 177.5 million. While investment in strong growth in the previous year had a disproportionately negative impact on earnings, adesso Group achieved a significant 59 % year-on-year increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the first six months of 2018.

IT service provider adesso is now also represented in Bulgaria. Through the new national subsidiary in Sofia, adesso is expanding its nearshore set-up in Southern Europe, which it has already successfully established in Turkey. Thanks to the outsour-cing model, companies from the German-speaking region stand to benefit from cost savings for services relating to software development, maintenance and testing.

Companies that put customers at the centre of their efforts also have to adapt their centralised business processes, as the IT service provider adesso explains. This requires shifting customer journey management from individual departments to the level of company management.
