eMan has been an official partner of the Faculty of Information Technology at CTU since February. We hope that this will deepen our existing cooperation with this important Czech educational institution, bringing us even closer to its students.

So, the end of the year is here again and eMan has a challenging but also great year under its belt. The merger with Jablotron, further significant growth, almost doubling the size of our team, new projects, moving the main headquarters to Holešovice as well as the opening of regional offices.

A small revolution is currently playing out in Czech restaurants. The mobile application E-Pay by Edenred, used to receive payments via Ticket Restaurant Card digital meal vouchers, has its hand in that. The E-Pay solution by Edenred was the winner of the IT Project of the year for 2015.

The development of mobile applications is cheap. Designing a good application is a breeze. The users can find and download quality applications themselves. And so on.

When we started bringing up our common child, the company eMan in 2010, with partners Tomas Cermak, Michal Kosek and Jan Horyna, we had no idea how difficult raising a child was.

In 2016 a major business transaction began on the Czech IT scene. The company Jablotron, a manufacturer of security and communication systems, entered the company eMan, which ranks among the leading Czech suppliers of mobile applications. This was announced at a joint press conference by Jiri Horyna, CEO of the company eMan and Tomáš Morava, Investment Director of Jablotron. The value of the transaction is in the tens of millions of crowns.

Mobile application development is not a simple matter. It usually takes several weeks or months. An experienced and coordinated team is a must. You can embark on development on your own, using your own resources. However, a more effective and safer option is usually to entrust development to an experienced development company that takes care of both the actual design and application development, as well as the subsequent operation, updating and application promotion.

eMan supports young talent. This time, we are sponsoring the student competition EBEC or European BEST Engineering Competition. EBEC is a technical competition of four-member teams of CTU students.
