Why is Ericpol the right choice for you?

The stone, iron, coal and steam ages all belong to mankind’s history. From ‘the age of the atom’ a hundred years ago or so, we have entered a completely new period in the development of civilization: the age of information. We don’t look at seeds as a natural phenomenon. We analyse them from the point of view of information resources thanks to which a new plant will grow. Similarly, DNA code is not primarily seen as a natural phenomenon but a collection of information necessary for the growth and development of every living creature. The i-evolution refers to the reality we live in and to the area of our activity. Ericpol deals with information and information technologies. We are a company whose biggest capital is its intelligence and innovative capability. Our work, its results and all our actions are subject to the laws of evolution – a continuous transformation towards perfect form and content.

Business Segments

Ericpol can provide strong references in a number of business segments. The competence, as well as the quality awareness gained in these markets, make Ericpol a reliable partner for customers from other business segments looking for high availability software solutions. We offer a comprehensive range of customer-oriented services, tailored to customers’ needs.

M2M stands for “Machine-to-Machine”communication. Essentially, it is the exchange of data between a remote machine and a back-end IT infrastructure. M2M interfaces allow businesses to monitor and control remote equipment that is crucial to their operation. There is significant growth in the adoption of M2M communications across many industries. Ericpol has been involved in the M2M market in the main business segments such as automotive, ITS, healthcare and smart metering. We have been supporting customers with comprehensive knowledge, integrating the best solutions available on the market to improve our customers’ business processes. Ericpol is also involved in M2M innovation trends such as GENIVI Alliance. Here we share our experience with companies such as Magneti Marelli, Continental, Delphi and Harman. Together we want to change the perspective of the vehicle infotainment world.

Telecommunications Ericpol provides software development services to telecommunication solution and equipment vendors as well as to mobile network operators worldwide, supporting business efficiency and flexibility. From its inception in 1991, Ericpol’s major focus has been on telecommunications. Our services include outsourcing of software development projects, consultancy services, staff augmentation and bespoke solutions. Ericpol has a proven track record in a number of areas, including Radio Access Network, test and simulation (including development of solutions), GSM Core Networks and Value Added Services creation for legacy IN and various NGIN platforms. The company is also expanding its footprint to OSS and BSS areas, thus enabling full end-to-end support for its customers.

Healthcare

Finances and Banking

Ericpol has harnessed its IT experience in close cooperation with the Polish National Health Fund (NFZ) and College of Family Physicians in Poland (KLRwP), to produce drEryk - a programme for medical practices. drEryk met the expectations of physicians by improving the work of medical personnel while also increasing the quality of patient services. The advantages of drEryk were appreciated by the Centre for Quality Monitoring in Healthcare and drEryk remains the only application in Poland to receive positive feedback from the Centre. The second product called ‘ErLab’ is an innovative system for secure communication between laboratories and medical centres in Poland. Ericpol also developed a mobile version of the eWUŚ application. In situations where traditional online access to the eWUŚ system is unavailable, the application allows doctors to verify each patient’s eligibility for healthcare services via a specialized Internet solution.

To meet the needs of the financial sector, Ericpol has prepared special transfer programmes, that enable reliable and secure transfers of liability for the development and maintenance of all, or selected, elements of IT systems. With more than 20 years of experience in the international work transfer market we can guarantee companies data confidentiality and full security for secret information and other sensitive data. In addition, Ericpol provides operational services for implemented solutions, i.e. B2B portals or video-teleconferencing systems. Ericpol also services the implemented solutions, provides helpdesk services as well as information that supports ongoing work with the implemented systems.
