12 Our Business
EVRY has worked with fundamental technological challenges
throughout its 50-year history. We invest continuously to stay
ahead of developments.
• Solutions that improve efficiency and increase sales:
- EVRY has invested in new case management solutions
for municipalities based on cloud services, and in
self-service solutions for banks, and is now working
on iPad and facebank as services of the future.
• More flexibility in IT budgets: A significant part of EVRY’s
business is outsourcing and sales of services that enable
our customers to free up their resources while securing
access to expertise so that they benefit from greater cost
flexibility. EVRY has completed a number of major trans-
formations precisely with the objective of simplifying,
standardising and delivering a more flexible cost structure.
This process requires a long-term partnership with the
customer.
• The accelerating pace of change is a challenge both for EVRY
as a company and for our customers. We invest continu-
ously in order to be at the forefront of development, and
we want to contribute our expertise and services by being
a partner for our customers in the changes they face.
We achieve this by using the latest in virtualization,
automation, standardisation and offshoring.
• This is all about seizing the opportunities – about
recognising and understanding the overall picture and
trends - in order to succeed you need your organisation
to embrace change and realise the benefits that are
available.
EVRY celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012. Our focus
is firmly on the future, but there is one thing that we can
learn from the past: Only by working in partnership with
customers, with mutual trust, respect and sharing of
expertise and knowledge, can we seize the opportunities
that technology offers.
EVRY’s contribution to meeting these challenges:
