Polish Post will deliver tidy profit for IT interest Prokom in local deal

A new centralized IT system will replace currently used local systems, which should boost the effectiveness of the post and enable it to offer new services, including banking, commercial, internet and financial ones. The contract envisages the implementation of a new IT system in roughly 1,500 outlets out of the total of 8,000, and could lead to further contracts. According to analysts, construction of an IT system for the postal service will be one of the largest IT projects in the country. "This is another contract, which supplements the portfolio of Prokom with yet another large client, after PZU and ZUS," commented Przemysław Sawala-Uryasz, analyst with CA IB.
