After posting strong annual results, the AUSY Group presented its new plan for growth primarily focusing on international considerations and clearly placing the emphasis on the profitability of existing activities. The new plan revolves around the keyword “Improve” and has as its slogan “Committed to improving the future”.

Solid annual figures

Excellent growth rates are achieved through hard work, but there are times when you need to take a moment and reflect: “Where are we now, and where do we want to be with DataFlow & ONE Agency in 2015?” In February, we held an intensive weekend strategy session with management.

Fireworks and lots of champagne have signalled the start of 2013. On behalf of the entire management team, we would like to wish everyone a great 2013, filled with much private and professional success!

The Community Evenings are becoming increasingly popular. At the end of November, our Competence Manager Kenny Van Eycken organised a highly attended evening about Wireshark in the OHL business lounge. Because pictures say so much more than words, here is a video about this successful event.

The AUSY group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Defiance Technologies Limited, a specialised engineering company within the Hinduja Group, to set up a joint venture which will address defence offset requirements in India.

You are never too young to start with science and technology! With this slogan we organized our 3rd Family Fun Day at Technopolis in Mechelen.

As of June 30th 2012, the Group’s Consolidated Turnover came in at €159.1m, up 14.2%. This growth stems from the acquisition policy carried out in 2011, but also from the assertive commercial endeavors of the International subsidiaries. Belgium and Luxemburg (AUSY BeLux) continue to display sterling performances, resulting in a 9% Turnover increase.

Things are going great at Ausy/DataFlow, because our recruitment team is working hard during summer. New clients and new interesting projects push us to the limit to search new, and highly motivated employees.

At the end of May, the official figures for the first quarter of 2012 were published for the entire Ausy Group. Ausy/Dataflow (BeLux) continues to lead with an organic growth of 15.2% in spite of an economically difficult year. This is above the average for the entire Ausy Group, so congratulations go to all Ausy/Dataflow personnel.

This year we raised 3560 euros for SOS Children's Villages.

At the beginning of 2011, we launched the “We are looking for 111 new employees for 2011” campaign. We have barely started the fourth quarter and we can already state with no little pride that we have achieved this target. While the credit for this of course goes to our HR team, the fact that 12% of the new recruitments came about via existing employees is certainly worthy of mention. So our referral programme is clearly bearing fruit.

DrupalCon London 2011 objective: offer sponsor support to the Drupal community, create business contacts, gain a great deal of technical knowledge and stand out through our marketing. We certainly succeeded! The recurring theme in this story is the “Drooter”, our Drupal Scooter...

The annual European DrupalCon is being held in London again this year from 23 to 26 August. Ausy/DataFlow will be a prominent figure as a ‘Gold Sponsor’ of this year’s event just like last year in Copenhagen.

BeLux

After a strong 2010, Ausy/DataFlow is continuing its financial growth. During the first quarter of 2011, the turnover rose by 28.6% as compared to the same period last year. In absolute figures, this is a growth from EUR 8.64 million to EUR 11.27 million for the BeLux zone. This growth was realised purely organisationally given that the recent takeovers by made by the Ausy Group have always been international (see below).

Ausy/DataFlow Belux closed 2010 with good growth figures, but the Ausy Group, too, had a positive annual balance under its belt. In 2010 the company achieved stable and constant growth, with an increase of 28.5% compared with 2009 figures. Annual turnover in 2010 came to 197.7 million euros. The growth that was realised is largely organic, proving that the stock market listed Ausy Group is one of the leading ICT companies.

Our New Year’s campaign in aid of SOS Children’s Villages has come to an end. This campaign, in which we asked for cooperation from our customers, raised the proud sum of €4220, which will all go towards the construction of an SOS Children’s Village in Kinshasa for 150 orphans.

Due to an increasing demand Ausy/DataFlow organizes 3 'open' Drupal trainings mid march:

In January, we usually treat our customers to a special gift to thank them for the work we accomplished together over the past year. This year, however, we have decided to take the funds we would normally spend on New Year’s gifts and instead donate them to a good cause: SOS Children’s Villages. In this context, Ausy/DataFlow is supporting a project in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) where an SOS Children’s Village is being built to take in 150 orphans.

Ausy/DataFlow purchased the first 5 copies of the brand new Mini Countryman at garage Van Avondt. The mini scores pretty well on an environmental level, with its low CO² emissions and offering tax incentives. It is also the first Mini with four doors.
