An increasing number of Siveco customers choose to outsource the hosting of their solutions, instead of investing in their own servers and hiring the IT resources required to maintain them. This is true not only of smaller companies without a strong IT department, but also of larger corporations with very well-established in-house IT team.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, our team has prepared a book collecting many of our customer’s success stories of maintenance improvement. The book will contain case studies, most of them already published in this newsletter over the years, each with updated content and latest achievements. Currently under final design, we will officially release it after the Chinese New Year.

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!
