At the presentation of the new banking software of the company Aseko SEE (Assseco) in Belgrade, Ljajić said that this is an opportunity that Serbia must take advantage of. He pointed out that this year, for the first time, Serbia earned more from the export of software than from the export of raspberries.
"This year, we exported 240 million euros worth of software. All exports were made possible by the work of 6.500 people working in the IT sector," said Ljajić. He also pointed out that the economic development of a country is proportional to investments in the IT industry, and the current value of that industry in Serbia is around 400 million euros.
According to Ljajić, Serbia allocates 60 euros per capita in that area, which, he said, is more than in BiH, Montenegro and Macedonia, but significantly less than in Croatia, which allocates 200 euros per capita.
The IT company Aseko SEE, which employs almost 500 people in Serbia, presented software produced in Serbia today in Belgrade. This product received an international certificate from the company EMC.
The vice president of the EMC company Louis Fanchini stated that the software system intended for banks for the "Aseba BPS" system, which is certified, meets the highest standards of practice in that area. This gives confidence that competitive software on the world market will continue to arrive from Serbia, he said.
President of the Management Board of Aseko SEE Miodrag Mirčetić said that the "aseba BPS" software has already been applied in Komercijalna banka and Poštanska štedionica, which processes 68 million documents a year.
"We are negotiating with Romania, Croatia, Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, while in Albania we are already working on the application of our software," said Mirčetić and pointed out that Asek's clients are 10 of the 15 largest banks in the region. Aseko SEE employs more than 1.300 people in 12 countries, and has been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since October 2009.
