More information
reach all the way to 1995 when the František Pozník-Picabo Company had been established. Just like many other start-up IT companies at the time it sold and delivered hardware but in contrast to its competitors it had specialized, from the very beginning, on delivering and administering specialized systems. These were, for example, providing hardware for specialized applications or building multiprocessor systems for television and graphic studios.
the Company merged with Unitour s.r.o. establishing Unitour Picabo s.r.o. The Company still specialized in the information system administration and specialized applications, this time focused on travel business. The company created administrative systems for travel agencies and developed its own module-based and universally applicable software product.
In this period the company also focused on computer networks and as a result of these efforts it penetrated the field of complete solutions for other business areas, besides the travel business. 1998 was an important milestone for the Company since it started building a very strong technical base for providing better-quality services to its clients, such as the establishment of its own webhosting and mailhosting servers, etc.
the Company transformed into the current form. Separation of policies for providing complete solutions in the information technology field and for the travel business resulted in the establishment of two independent companies; the IT branch was called Picabo s.r.o. Ever since the Company has been narrowly focused exclusively on the IT business matters. Two expert teams were established: one has focused on the design and administration of computer networks and the other team of development personnel, programmers and marketing personnel has closely focused on Internet and Intranet technologies, multimedia and Internet marketing. The Company developed additional key software products: a system for administering web presentations called WebAdmin, Intranet platform of the B2B portal for exchanging business information between business partners, the Internet system for incidental control in the form of a helpdesk and a platform for creating multimedia product and business presentations.
the Company received the Golden Semicolon reward for the professional level of its services and it also attained the third position in a competition for the best multimedia company presentation of the year realized for Fiat ČR s.r.o. under the name Gamma.
as a result of its expansion to the Slovak market Picabo s.r.o. established a subsidiary called Picabo SR s.r.o. in Slovakia in the first half of 2005.
