The summer season is upon us, the water’s just right and all the beer stands are beckoning you for a cold one more persuasively than at any other time of the year. It’s that time of the year when the sun is up really early and goes to sleep quite late, and you’ll probably read our blog only on your phone on the way home from summer beer gardens. That’s why we’ll also ease up a little and instead of posting another technical article, we decided to write about a different, more entertaining topic that’s more suited for summer.

This year eMan once again participated in the Bike To Work competition. And we rocked it; we won the title of Prague’s most bike-oriented employer of 2018 and our COO Michal Kosek is this year’s second-best performing cyclist. What did our teams experience during their rides and how did we support them?

eMan is no stranger to the most important Czech competition evaluating the effectivity of digital projects. This year we took first place in the energy and utility category with our E.ON EContracts solution. And our Škoda OneApp came second in the mobile apps category.

“So you just play with the app?” was a question I received from one of my friends after telling him that I’m a Software Tester, followed by “I can do that!” which made me wonder a bit. Quality Assurance is not just about wildly clicking on every button in the app, at least not for us at eMan.

Vladimir has three different roles at eMan. He leads projects for the energy industry sector, deals with architecture, and recommends new trends to the clients. Why did he decide to leave the position of Director of Operations at a large company to join eMan, a small company at that time, as a project manager? And why do cheating tablet users amuse him?

David Adamík scored for eMan for four wonderful years. His journey is the perfect example for everyone who wants to start their career in IT. David is sailing in a slightly different direction now but that doesn’t mean we won’t see each other again...

In January 2016 Jablotron acquired a part of eMan, the leading Czech software developer. After more than two years, both parties have agreed to end the ongoing cooperation. Therefore, the founders of eMan are buying back from Jablotron their 60% share of the company. The value of the transaction is in the tens of millions of Czech crowns.

We have recently opened a new branch in Houston, Texas. It is time to take our business to the next level and the U.S. represents a perfect challenge to do so. So what are we up to?

The processing of data about your drive, in your phone, in real time. Your car’s infotainment in your pocket with a third-party platform. The mobile application ŠKODA OneApp introduced several innovations. It’s no wonder it scored in the IT Project of 2017 competition.
