Our company has declared a Quality Strategy (the goals of which are under the link "Service Quality Strategy"), resulting in TOP SERVICE, a project to help us design and implement a unique programme of certified education of our staff on all levels of accounting and audit.
The goal of the project is to create 10 jobs which we intend to integrate in the certified continuous education program as part of company training. The result of the two-year process will be a top team whose individual members will possess certificates of accounting assistants, chartered accountants, or an accounting expert.
We have found a partner for our TOP SERVICE programme in the Institute of the Union of Accountants a.s. in Prague. We chose this partner due to the top quality of the members of its teaching staff and also for the broad recognition of the quality of the certification system for accounting education, and its full comparability and compatibility with educational systems abroad.
Once the project is completed, our entire team will be able to demonstrate a unique qualification in the industry, which will be a substantial competitive advantage both in the Czech Republic and abroad. This will lay the necessary basis for successful activities of the team abroad.
TOP SERVICE received a grant from the Czech government and the European Social Fund in 2006. The project includes Trade Wind s.r.o. as project partner, as well as A.D.P. net, s.r.o. and Vladimír Pavlíček as subcontractors.
environment is going to drive narrow specialization in each area of business. In turn, specialization will drive the demand for specialized and guaranteed financial services, and the tendency will be to outsource those. We have successfully developed a data centre and we have hands-on experience with a live operation. As early as 2007, the original capacity was sold out due to immense interest and we purchased another terminal server. The data centre we operate it nowadays fully meets the definition of what is called a "shared data centre" within the "ICT and Strategic Services" operating programme, which invited applications for the 2007-2013 financial period. Together with Grantika, we submitted this project for approval of EU structural funds once the call for submissions was published.
We are experienced in operating hardware and software within a data centre, and we have won tenders for grant financing out of EU structural funds. We possess all the professional certificates, an auditor license, and a chartered accountant certification. We are a member of the Chamber of Auditors as well as the Chamber of Certified Accountants of the Czech Republic. We are also certified for ISO 9001:2001. For more information, go to: Certificates.
On the basis of our technical know-how and our financial qualifications over the years, we have designed TOP SERVIS® with the following principles:
Our application for EU funds submitted with the help of Grantika a.s. in 2007 was supported through a regional TV campaign targeting mid-level clientele. Fatem TV became the media partner of TOP SERVIS, an association of regional TV channels. SM-DATA is the founder and manager of the programme, and went through a development and restructuring project in the same year with the following scenario: – We incorporated SM-DATA a.s., which acquired the real property. – The data centre was built within this new entity. – Once TOP SERVIS 2.0 was completed by Karel Smetana within his sole proprietorship, his assets were appraised and invested into SM-DATA a.s. – The activity has continued and developed under SM-DATA a.s., leveraging Mr. Smetana's entire experience, trademarks and personal network. The services are being physically provided in Brno and Prague, as the country's main business locations. Our data centres have expanded throughout the Czech Republic ] and even abroad through partnerships and franchising].
We work with the Institute of the Union of Accountants as our educational partner developing and promoting our data centres. Partners manage the certification of accountants and helps participants start their careers and achieve their life-time goals. The Institute was already our partner in TOP SERVIS 2.0.
Grantika a.s. www.grantika.cz, a subsidiary of Česká spořitelna based in Brno, became our partner in designing suitable projects and applying for EU funds. Grantika is a highly successful specialist in obtaining subsidies, raising over [CZK 2.5 billion over the last two years].
Fatem TV became the media partner for our project and ran a three-month campaign to promote it in 2007.
Other entities involved in the project include CEBRE (representing Czech business in the EU) and the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises and Crafts of the Czech Republic
Having successfully built a data centre on a small scale, we invested a great deal of our own resources in obtaining funds for a larger-scale project. Our [banners] are featured on all leading Internet portals [?] in the Czech Republic as well as partner websites such as the Institute of the Union of Accountants and the European Social Fund. We also ran a full-page presentation in the weekend supplement to Mladá fronta (leading Czech newspaper) co-sponsored by Trade Wind s.r.o.
If you feel addressed by our vision, we are ready to welcome you in our office to show you the results of our work so far.
We look forward to meeting you and working with you!
