Tremend enters for the third time in Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA ranking

Tremend joins the most dynamic technology companies in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2019 ranking. With a 336% turnover increase between 2015 - 2018, the software development and consultancy company holds the highest position among Romanian companies included in this year's edition.

 

Ranked 342nd, Tremend is consolidating its position among the top technology players in the region and is featured, for the third time, in the ranking of the most dynamic 500 technology companies with the highest revenue growth. Previously, the organization was included, twice in a row, in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 CE ranking of the fastest-growing companies in Central Europe. Also, earlier this year, Tremend was also featured in FT 1000 ranking of the fastest-growing companies in Europe, compiled by Financial Times and Statista.

 

“We are honored to be featured, for the third time, in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA rankings. It's a recognition of Tremend team's performance in infusing innovation in solutions that meet today's digitalization needs. At the same time, it acknowledges our role as a reliable and robust technology partner, in an extremely dynamic and competitive market”, said Ioan Cocan, Managing Partner, Tremend.

 

Underlying Tremend's evolution is the company's strong focus on innovation as well as the rapid adoption of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IoT, Microservices, Big Data and blockchain, and their integration into software products developed for sectors such as telecom, financial, automotive, or retail.

 

The company has seen an accelerated and sustainable development of its team in recent years, currently reaching over 400 software engineers and a portfolio of over 700 large-scale projects for clients in 20 countries on 4 continents. The upward trend was maintained in 2019 when Tremend recorded a turnover of €15.1 million, an evolution of approximately 55% compared to 2018. The company founded by Ioan Cocan and Marius Hanganu has over 14 years of experience in providing advanced software services, two development centers in Romania (in Bucharest and Brașov), and offices in the US, Belgium, and the UK.

 

In the forthcoming span, Tremend will focus on investing in growing its Research and Development (R&D) area. This year, the company has released two products that support today's current need for digitization: TORP — the competitive digital onboarding and origination solution with applicability in various industries, from financial and telecom to education and health, and observED — an innovative online proctoring tool based on biometric data.

 

At the same time, the software engineers from Tremend’s Innovation Division are working on prototyping a telemedicine solution and a tool for facilitating the safe return of employees to the office following the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Recently, Tremend launched a research project in partnership with the University of Bucharest for the development of HumanoID, a smart application for verifying a person's identity and validating the authenticity of official documents. Based on Artificial Intelligence, the solution can be used to digitize and secure the user enrollment flow in applications that require identity validation.

 

“In order to compete with industry leaders and also have a global impact, our team of software engineers must constantly experiment with the latest technologies. Therefore, investing in R&D is an important pillar that strengthens our efforts in developing prototypes and products based on emerging technologies, that support the current needs and create new opportunities”, said Marius Hanganu, Managing Partner of Tremend.

 

This year’s Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA ranking includes companies from 22 countries, from industries such as Fintech, Software, Hardware, Media and Entertainment, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Communications, or Environmental Technology, which recorded an average growth rate of 1258% in 2019, compared to 969% in 2018. The winners were selected according to the increase of revenues registered in the fiscal years between 2015-2018. The recent edition features four Romanian companies specialized in software and fintech solutions.

VA Beach Real Estate Agent Lists Tips For Buying Beach Real Estate

Virginia Beach, Virginia (release-news) August 18, 2020 - A Virginia Beach real estate agent at the Katie Zarpas Group created a blog listing helpful tips when buying beach real estate. Following these tips can help you find and purchase the perfect beach home.

Purchasing beach real estate is an exciting opportunity to secure a beautiful space for vacations, weekend trips, and even rentals for additional income. However, buying a beach home isn't always the same as buying a primary residence. There are a number of special considerations you'll likely want to take into account before deciding to invest.

Before settling on a community, visit several to get a sense of the amenities in each and the crowds throughout the year. Some may be overfilled during the summer, while others can feel pleasantly busy. Create a list of features you definitely want in your new home and which would be good to have, then measure that list against your budget and chosen community. You may find that a different community can provide more for your budget. It's also important to take the location of the home into consideration, as structures closer to the shore may require higher insurance premiums to account for water damage. Similarly, it may be helpful to research weather patterns in the area to determine the risk of hurricanes and strong storms. Finally, if you are considering renting your new property, remember that this decision may have an impact on the location, size, and features of the home you choose, as you'll want it to be an attractive option to renters.

Speak to the Katie Zarpas Group for more information and to get started on looking for your new beach real estate property. Zarpas has nearly 15 years of experience in the real estate industry. She and her team specialize in real estate in the Virginia Beach area, including beachfront homes and rental properties, and are consistently ranked one of the most trusted groups in the area. Get in touch with a real estate agent at (757) 500-5596 or online at https://www.katiezarpas.com/. The real estate firm's offices are located at 800 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23451.

Artworks by Haring Frishmuth Basquiat More are in Nye and Companys Sept 2 Online Estates Auction

Bloomfield, NJ, USA, August 19, 2020 -- Nye & Company Auctioneers’ upcoming Estate Treasures auction will be held just before the Labor Day holiday and offers a wide variety of fine and decorative arts. The auction is scheduled for Wednesday, September 2nd, online-only, starting at 10 am Eastern time.

Internet bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and the Nye & Company website (www.nyeandcompany.com).

“We will prepare an exhibition and will open our doors to the public by appointment,” said Andrew Holter of Nye & Company Auctioneers. “Clients will enjoy a seamless online experience, with accurate condition reports and detailed images for all the items in the offering.”

Disparate material comprises the first fall auction and has pieces coming to sale from all over the Tri-State area. “The beauty of estate property is that the pieces have been in private collections and out of circulation for years, often decades, and that keeps collectors’ attention on our site,” continued Mr. Holter.

A cast bronze fountain, entitled “Scherzo,” depicting a young nude poised on a dolphin-supported base by the noted American artist, Harriet Whitney Frishmuth, is from a Frenchtown, New Jersey collection and leads the numerous pieces of sculpture. At nearly 4’ tall, “Diana” comes from a different consignor, is after Jean-Antoine Houdon (French, 1741-1828) and could be the centerpiece of a successful bidder’s garden room. Another notable consignment from the New York City and Atlantic City areas and comprise works by R. C. Gorman, Yuri Krasny, Miguel Ortiz Berrocal and more. A third New Jersey family from the northern part of the state consigned a bronze tennis player and a bronze “Priestess of Bacchus.”

The auction includes a large silver offering as well. There is sterling flatware in the “Cactus” pattern by highly collectable Danish designer Georg Jensen; several lots of monogrammed and hallmarked French serving pieces; and examples of Chinese silver. Other manufacturers in the auction include such firms as Tiffany, Theodore B. Starr, Whiting, Gorham and others.

The Fine Art category is also strong as a result in-part of the success Nye enjoyed earlier in the summer. A Keith Haring Subway Drawing further highlights the September auction and comes from the estate of the consignor’s father. The Louis Comfort Tiffany maritime watercolor hails from a Midwest family, and the Banksy “Di-Faced Tenner” and “Peckham Rock” and “Gross Domestic Product Welcome Mat,” along with limited edition books by Jim Dine and an offset print by Jonas Wood, “Large Shelf Still Life” partially comprise the more modern works. A visually bold and very graphic mixed-media on postcard of a Monkey-with-Crown by Jean-Michel Basquiat is accompanied by papers authenticating the work by the Estate.

A large consignment of Old Master Prints and Drawings Property from a Private East Coast Collection will represent approximately 140 lots in the sale. Many works are by recognizable house hold names, such as Guido Reni, Albrecht Durer, Wenceslaus Hollar, Pieter Bruegel The Elder, Thomas Wyck, Claud Lorrain and so many others. Bidders can pursue bucolic landscapes, architectural ruins, farm scenes and allegorical imagery. There should be something for everyone. Additionally, there is a pair of paintings by John F. Herring (English, 1820-1907), and a volume of Captain Cook’s travels.

People can bid in absentia and online. An online preview will be held from August 19th through September 2nd, at www.nyeandcompany.com, www.liveauctioneers.com and www.invaluable.com. Anyone looking for additional images, condition reports or general commentary about an object, is encouraged to reach out via the Nye & Company website or via email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
