Also Yakaboo - Ukraine's largest online store on selling books. Both were established on the basis of Magento, a platform that we have been working with for several years.

One of the areas of our work is business automation using our Keeper software . Also we have a department of office equipment, video surveillance systems and service.

Our team is strong and sustainable. There are workers who are with us from the first day of the company. We really appreciate them. But young people are always welcome. Over the past few years many talented young people joined us.

- Last year was really quite difficult. But we managed to keep all our projects. We always show understanding to our customers, and they do the same for us. We do every project like we'd do it for ourselves.

- Why you have decided to change the logo and launch a new website?

- Actually, we did not change the logo completely, just made it a bit more modern. Our previous logo was developed quite a long time ago and therefore it needed a "new breath". The same is true for the site. We wanted it not just to be modern, but also more functional. The visual part of course is also very important. In addition, we have a new section "Blog" where we tell about the company`s life, events, our employees, projects and initiatives.

- What would one expect from the company in the near future - this year?

- Definitely we will grow and develop. In a professional sense it is first of all training our employees and improving their skills. We have plans for projects for our employees as well as outside of the company. We have education projects for children and young people in priority to encourage them to study programming and education in general, as well as several charitable projects that we'll share on our pages in social networks and on our website.

We recently we became partners with online platform Prometheus, who made a very important thing for Ukraine - translated and adapted the best course on the basics of programming in the world - CS50 from Harvard University. An offline group studying this course operates on the basis of our company. We are glad to see that among the 55 000 Ukrainian who register for the course in Ukraine, there are many talented mukachevians.

In addition, at the beginning of April we launched our own registration for courses - for PHP programmers. We were pleasantly surprised with the result. There were way more people registered for the course than we planned to take. The purpose of these courses is dual - first, we want more people to be interested in programming and IT in general, and also we intend to strengthen our own team of programmers and start new projects.
