Without further ado, here's what we have prepared for you.
1. Thank You For 2023! Here's What This Year Meant To Us
It's almost 2024! So, we want to take a moment and celebrate everything we did in 2023. And because you are part of our journey, we really want to share it with you!
? This year, we succeeded in getting our first external customer.
? Another project completed this year is the launch of Investimental's brokerage platform, a project we have been working on since 2022 and for which we will develop many features in 2024.
? Another goal was to have a multinational company in our client portfolio, and we achieved this by developing a web platform that includes reporting scripts and statistics for which we created the interface.
? All these projects we have been able to deliver because we have increased our team from 15 to 20 people, and we hope to continue this trend.
? All in all, it was not a challenging year, but it was an atypical one in which many projects came to fruition at the end of the year and in which we often went against the tide.
Because yes, this year, we have often heard about restructuring, frozen budgets, and declining sales, but we have had a lot of projects materializing from 2022.
Thank you for being here! We wish you a magical New Year!
