I would like to thank all of you for a great year together! We have had an eventful year, very much characterized by our focus on collaboration. We have experienced great cooperation with partners, interesting and challenging projects with customers and growing collaboration and team work internally at iStone.
A lot of new, highly skilled colleagues joined us and we are investing in young talent through, not only one, but two trainee programs for both M3 and Commerce.
We have acquired two companies to enhance and strengthen our Application Management business area which will re-enforce our SAP-offer both in the Swedish and the Norwegian market. To further amplify our Commerce-area, we have created a branch to work with User Experience and Interaction Design.
These things do not just “happen” without dedication and great team work. I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has put in that extra hour in order to find the best solutions every day.
It has been a turbulent year around the world. We believe that the small things contribute to something larger and thanks to our committed employees, we donated funds to the refugees earlier this fall. Our Christmas donation will go to UNICEF this year and we are all hoping that 2016 will be a better and more peaceful year.
I am really looking forward to us building even stronger ties during 2016. We are looking at several interesting acquisitions and some enticing focus areas that could be relevant for you as a customer – let me present these further in the beginning of next year.
Happy holidays and a Happy New Year!
Markus Jakobson
CEO at iStone
