The average number of employees in 2022 amounted to 1031 people, 60 people less than in 2021.

Auxo explained to TAdviser that in 2022 the company's revenue decreased due to a number of factors. First of all, this is due to a decrease in the volume of foreign contracts due to the withdrawal of international companies from the Russian market. Also, part of the business was built on the basis of international vendors, and it practically did not develop, since these vendors stopped their activities.

The very long process of agreeing on new deals in the global Atos structure was another reason for the decline in revenue, since the company could not quickly participate in tenders.

After the transition to local owners, the company's business strategy was seriously transformed

Most of all, the direction for working with international clients, including within the global structure "Atos": "foreign companies could not buy our resources due to sanctions," explains in Auxo.

After moving to local owners, Auxo's business strategy was seriously transformed. The company began to focus on the solutions of Russian vendors. Re-qualification of employees was also carried out. Auxo is developing new directions and replacing foreign products with domestic counterparts, the company told TAdviser.

Auxo partners were such technology companies as: Elma, Atach, SimpleOne, Directive, Cyberprotect, PIX Robotics, Aerodisk, Katyusha, Roomy bots, CommuniGate, Arenadata, Kaspersky, MyOffice. These changes help the company significantly increase efficiency and competitiveness in the domestic market.

In 2023, Auxo will focus on developing a strategic partnership with Russian vendors who will be reliable suppliers of high-quality equipment, software and services for its customers.

We will also work to develop our own developments, allowing Auxo to become a leader in the industry.

One of the main objectives of Auxo in 2023 will be to restore the indicators that were achieved before 2022. The company says it will actively work to improve the quality of the services provided and provide maximum support to its customers.

How to reduce business process costs and properly implement e-document management

Every year, more companies are striving to automate their business processes using digital solutions. Personnel electronic document management (KEDO) was no exception. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, many employees have been forced to start working remotely, which has significantly increased the already high administrative costs of companies. For example, it takes an average of 5 to 30 minutes to process one manual call from an employee, and a significant amount of administrative resources may be required for these tasks depending on the headcount of the enterprise. In this case, the personnel electronic document management system checks and transfers the document along a given route automatically without additional costs.

Today, legislation does not require a mandatory transition to KEDO, but more and more companies understand that the implementation of the system will reduce the cost of supporting business processes, simplify the solution of personnel tasks and make them safer. The specialists of the IT company AUXO tell how to properly implement CEDO so as not to be disappointed, but to improve the quality of the business. Read more here.
