Safira Polska Open Sessions

16 04 2009

Dzień dobry,

SAFIRA (www.safira.com.pl) is a reputed, Portuguese IT services company, looking forward to expand in the Polish market. We’re having a couple of “Open Sessions”, on the week of 27th April, in Warsaw, to present the company, our investment plans, and the opportunities for anyone interested in collaborating with us. This is a great opportunity for entrepreneurially minded individuals, with solid IT services background, to get on the ground floor with a young and energized company starting up in a new market.

Let me just give you a brief summary about SAFIRA. Over the last 10 years, we’ve been providing Consulting, Business Applications Development and Managed Services for the top Financial Institutions and Telecom companies in Portugal and have enjoyed both a strong reputation for quality and ranking in the top percentiles of customer satisfaction and loyalty of our domestic market. We’ve also been nominated, by Heidrick & Struggles, in their annual cross-industry survey, as one of the best companies to work for in Portugal for the last two consecutive years. This is one way we ensure that our team of 120 IT pros is one of the most competent and motivated services teams around.

We offer innovative solutions, with solid and measurable value propositions to large corporate customers, in partnership with companies like Microsoft, Google and Lombardi. From Enterprise Search to Mortgage BPM, through top rated Internet Banking systems, we’ve successfully tackled a number of exciting challenges that translated for our customers into increased sales, cost savings, lower operational risks, higher customer retention, and even internationally acclaimed awards.

Having already established a sound customer base in the Financial Services industry in Poland, we’re now actively developing new business opportunities within this industry, with a targeted set of services and solutions offerings. That’s where these Open Sessions come in. This is my invitation for you to join me in a 1 hour presentation, plus an “as-long-as-you-want” Q&A, and learn first-hand from one of the founders (that will be me), what we plan to bring to the Polish market, and about the kind of help we are hoping to get to accomplish that.

We’re hiring for most positions, but at this point we’re mostly interested in meeting people eager to find the opportunities to deliver best-in-class business solutions, that make a real difference for their customer’s businesses, or simply assemble great teams of expert business and technical professionals to provide top-notch Consulting, Application Management or IT Management services

If you’re interested in learning more, send me a note here on Linked.in, or to lma(at)safira(dot)pt, saying you plan to attend one of the Open Sessions I’ll be doing in two weeks. In your email, please write a couple of quick lines about yourself, your professional track record and why you want to attend. An URL to your online profile would be great. Don’t forget to mention which session you’ll be attending. You can find more about us in our website, but you will not find what I’ll be presenting in our Open Sessions. At least not for now.

The sessions will take place in the following schedule. I’ll be accepting registrations until April 23rd.

1st Session – Tuesday, 28th of April, 9:00 AM, local time
2nd Session – Wednesday, 29th of April, 18:00 PM, local time

Both sessions will take place at the Metropolitan building, in Warsaw, pl. Piłsudskiego, entrance nr 3, 1st floor. It’s a Regus office.

Hope to meet you there. In the meantime, let me know about specific topic you are interested in so I can tailor my presentation to best suite you.

Kind regards.
