We would like to use the time at the end of the year to thank all our customers, partners and employees for another successful year.
We wish you a merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Three of our consultants have successfully completed the training from the Federal Social Security Office. This entitles them to determine whether a project is eligible for funding from the Hospital Structural Fund.
In the past, we have often reported that funding can be applied for our measures for digitization in hospitals. We are very pleased that we can now also check the eligibility of projects for receiving funding ourselves.
The verification that the project meets the requirements of the funding guidelines must be proven by an authorized IT service provider during the application process. This is why it makes sense to work right from the start with a service provider that has this authorization. We are proud to be able to provide this additional service for our customers with immediate effect.
As a nice surprise at the end of the year 2021, we may announce that we have been awarded for the 4th time by FOCUS-Business as a top employer of medium-sized businesses. Over 550,000 employee evaluations of more than 38,000 medium-sized companies based in Germany were analyzed.
The study revealed that m3connect is one of the “Top Employers of Medium-Sized Businesses 2022” in the category “Internet and Multimedia”. The study was composed of the following criteria: Company size, employee ratings from a Germany-wide online survey, and existing online employer reviews.
If you would also like to work for a top employer, take a look at our job offerings and become part of our team.
Last week on Thursday we spent the evening together in front of our screens and held our – very popular with all colleagues – Christmas party. Everyone made themselves comfortable at home with mulled wine, warm soup, home-baked cookies and other goodies. With lots of virtual applause, we toasted to our successes this year and welcomed our newly added 2021 team members. We are very happy to announce that we were able to recruit 23 new colleagues to our team again this year! We also drew lots for our 3 lucky winners this year who will represent our company at the Hornschlittenrennen in Garmisch-Patenkirchen in early 2022. In doing so, we got to hear some funny stories from the past years and reminisced until late in the evening.
We are very pleased to welcome Seniorenresidenz Wuppertal as our customer. The residence with a total of 80 single rooms belongs to the Libento group and welcomed its first residents in October. At the house in Wuppertal, m3connect is now supplying the infrastructure for a comprehensive WLAN network with RUCKUS hardware. We are proud of the partnership that we just started and look forward to future joint projects.
We are very pleased that our team has gained some new smart heads during the last three months. Besides our new trainees Ilker, Silas, Jonas, Tom and Erik we could also welcome Maurice, Ahmet, Sven, Anita and Nikica. They support us in the development, in the field service, in the sales team and in the network technology team. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all ten of them to our m3 family!
From October 26-28, this year’s edition of the Stakeholder Conference will take place in Dubai. As a sponsor, we are very pleased to be a part of this event. The event brings together entrepreneurs with upcoming projects with the industry’s leading service providers and equipment suppliers, making it one of the most important events in the hospitality sector in the Middle East. In addition to exciting presentations from the industry, the Stakeholder Conference offers plenty of time and space for networking. Our hospitality experts Fabienne Rahier, Emilio Dragas, Roland Heinen and Jeroen Wisse are looking forward to many interesting conversations and new contacts.
We are very pleased to be present at a trade fair in the care sector for the first time on site this month. At the Altenheim Expo on October 25th and 26th at the Estrel in Berlin, we will present our solutions in the healthcare sector live on site. Our two experts Rosaria Weiland and Ralf Ander will be available at our booth to answer your questions about digitalization in the care sector. We are excited about the exchange and look forward to meeting many new faces.
When our customers need assistance, our support is always on hand. To reduce our environmental footprint in the process, our experts now drive electrically. We are delighted that the demand for our electric pool vehicles is so high. Bit by bit, we are in the process of replacing our current pool vehicles with electrically powered vehicles. The first step in this direction has been successfully mastered and our charging stations in the company parking lot are also always well attended.
The flood disaster in July also hit parts of our region hard. In the meantime, basic supplies have been restored and there is a better overview of the damage and the help that is now needed. The elementary school in Zweifall is one of the public facilities that have been severely damaged by the water. Among other things, the school’s IT equipment needs to be replaced. As a local technology company in the region, we have now decided to support the school’s support association in this. Therefore we donate iPads, notebooks and accessories like protective cases and charging cases for the iPads in the amount of about 25.000€.
