On January 7, we enjoyed our traditional celebration of the Epiphany at Siveco China Shanghai office and also held a small party in Chengdu. To celebrate the visit of the Three Magi to baby Jesus, French people eat the “galette”, a frangipani cake that contains a trinket. Whoever finds it is crowned King for the day. This year, Guillaume and Joanna were our King and Queen!

Thanks to the involvement and enthusiasm of all member of the Sephora-Siveco project team, leading cosmetic retailer went live last September. More than 140 stores are now using the system in locations as various as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Qingdao, Urumqi, Inner Mongolia and Sichuan!

The Siveco Shanghai Christmas Party was a success on December 16th, with Yunnanese food and drinks and… costumes! Our theme this year was something like “trades” or “occupations”, so we had security guard, teacher, doctor, cook, painter, tennis player, sexy maid, priest and nun, maintenance worker, guerrilla soldier, old Shanghai businessman, yakuza playboy and a few other less convincing ones…

After go-live, the CMMS project of Sita Waste Services in Taiwan, at the Renwu Waste-to-Energy plant , entered its Enhance Maintenance Support phase. As part of the support scope, Siveco’s Customer Service Manager Sunny Wang visited the customer onsite and conducted the first yearly system assessment on September 10, 2014.

Warmly welcome the new Siveco members, the cute babies of our colleagues, born in the year of the horse! With the four babies, we will have enough kids able to enjoy a real Christmas party for the Siveco families next year.

On November 21-23, the Siveco team went to Huangshan, one of the ten best-known scenic spots in China, and Hongcun, a beautiful place for escaping work and relaxing, located in Anhui province. The three-day trip (including Friday) was the longest and farthest traveled as a Siveco weekend outing.
