Bucharest, 1st March 2010 - One of the most important IT projects develped in Romania over the past three years, the integrated solution develped by SIVECO Romania for APIA, received the title of "Winner of the European IT Excellence Award 2010".

The jury formed of indipendent industry experts of the famous European competition announced this year's winners during the Annual Awards Gala, held in London at the end of February.

"This award is a true (and very pleasant) surprise, as competition was extremely keen. This year competed 88 companies from 16 countries.
Within the same competition, the company SIVECO Romania received the Finalist title for the implementation of the Documents Management solution at STX RO Offshore Tulcea (former AKER Tulcea) and of the SIVECO Business Analyzer solution at the National Bank of Romania.

"The jury was impressed by the quality of the applications and by the manner in which these were prepared. With finalists from 16 countries, these awards reflect clearly and broadly the IT competences in the European area", said John Chapman, Editorial Manager IT Europa.

"We are very touched and honoured every time our efforts get international recognition. One knows how objective and serious the evaluation of the jury for the European IT Excellence Award competition is, which is the value of the competitors and of the projects they have presented. From hundreds of projects we are developing, both in Romania and in countries on four continents, the IT system in APIA is one of the most difficult ones, for which we have made huge efforts, but which were concluded with extraordinary results. This project's complexity lies not only in the management of huge numbers resulting in subsidies from EU and national funds granted to over 1 million farmers, but also in the responsibilities proprotionate to the deep social impact that such a project implies", said Irina Socol, President and General manager of SIVECO Romania.
In 2008, SIVECO Romania received the title of winner for the quality of implementation and for the impact of the SEI project (the IT-based Education System), another milestone achievement of the company, but also of the Romanian IT.
