From Management Team’s desks

Dear Decosians,

Innovation Day was successfully organized and executed in Decos NL office on Jun 21, 2013. Day was full of presentations and workshops like one on Artificial Intelligence from futurologist Yuri van Geest (from Singularity University) and workshop on “Team Work and Team Building” by boxer Arnold Vanderlyde. The purpose is to build the team spirit needed to innovate in IT solutions and services. Looking back on a very successful day, CEO and founder Paul Veger is convinced that this goal will be absolutely achieved.

Last month, we launched a drive “Innovate Ideas” with purpose to stimulate brains at DSD to share their brilliant ideas that can take shape of a product. We received tremendous response. Overwhelming count of 28 ideas has been submitted. Now as part of next step committee will go through each of these ideas and evaluate its merit & feasibility of implementation. All ideas will be shared with board directors of DTG. Thank you to all for making this initiative a success. Special thanks to Vaishnavi for successfully leading it and to Sharjeel and Nishant Patel for laying infrastructural foundation. They made it possible so that we could share and collaborate on shared ideas.

Recently we saw lot of travel from India to the Netherlands. Sanket, Balbir, Abhijit and Arindam travelled. This month we will see few more people travel. Kavita and Praneti will be travelling for Minute and join Balbir over there to give final touches to the application. Sunny and Ashish will also be travelling for gathering information and requirements of new project based on RGBZ Standards. These standards are related to case oriented working in government sectors.

In June, we started with UAT for Munro.Net application. End user response is very positive. We also started a short term new project “HQ Trands” for Munro.

First basic version of PresoPlay is available on Azure cloud. Team’s effort and output has been appreciated much by product owner Rutger. With positive energy, team is moving into next phase of developing more advance feature sets.

ITyX team delivered first phase of product fileee (iOS application) to the customer.
Minute project is in its last phase of launch. Paul, Martin, Roel, and Rutger are working aggressively on marketing it in Europe and US. We are hopeful that this app will be a huge success.

In continuation to effort towards “Go Paperless”, all those who opted for Lumias have received the same. Second batch of iPad Minis have also been distributed and we have seen lot of excitement in people with both devices. Those who are still waiting for iPads will be getting it soon. As communicated in earlier edition, we will be buying these devices in batches.
