So, in Mat\u00fa\u0161's cellar (even though it's practically ours now), we opened champagne and reminisced about the times of our birth (*nostalgic sigh*), patted ourselves on the back for our achievements, and laughed through tears at some major fails we're still recovering from.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then it hit us \u2013 we're where we are, primarily thanks to you, and that's why we want to share our story with you!

Mat\u00fa\u0161 is the head of our team, the technical backbone, and a genius for details. His domain is running to meetings, where he helps clients understand their needs and design solutions. Samo is the right hemisphere of the operation's brain. His main weapons are his creative mind and UX. He is responsible for the intuitiveness of our products and turns all ideas into beautiful and functional solutions. He also serves as the liaison between the client and our developers. Behind our code are Dom\u010da, Peter, Mark, Illias, Peter_Second, and Darren, taking turns. Nikol is the newest addition to our team and creates all the nice articles you read.

How have you helped companies and institutions within this sphere? What benefits does it bring to your clients?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have digitized the processes of dozens of small and medium-sized businesses in Slovakia. We have become experts in the digital challenges of Slovak companies. We know exactly what they need for project management, what complications they face in document management, and our tailor-made solutions in Microsoft 365 help them manage their companies and projects better. We are happy that we can simplify processes for companies, thereby making their operations faster, easier, and more efficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example is the analysis and digitization of processes for the Ko\u0161ice City Magistrate. Here, we completely innovated and migrated their old intranet, without losing old data and files, thanks to which their operation is today in a completely electronic form and very intuitive to use. As part of the digitization, we created custom apps for them on the intranet to make things even easier and smoother.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"upechy-a-spoluprace\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Since we're celebrating today - what do you consider your biggest success so far?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We created the very first online elections in Slovakia for the Slovak Bar Association during COVID-19 restrictions. Due to lockdown, it was impossible to organize the elections in person for over 6,000 lawyers. Therefore, we came up with a hybrid solution of online elections and voting. 1,600 lawyers voted using touch kiosks at Incheba, and over 4,000 followed a live stream from the comfort of their homes, electing their representatives and voting live on regulations. We designed Entra identity for all lawyers in Slovakia, secured a SharePoint portal, and integrated Azure Functions, SharePoint Framework, Teams, and microservices into a comprehensive solution for a secure hybrid election system and an online voting system accessible from anywhere in Slovakia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" data-id=\"5318\" src=\"https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/sak-volby-incheba-1024x598.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/sak-volby-incheba-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/sak-volby-incheba-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/sak-volby-incheba-768x449.png 768w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/sak-volby-incheba-1536x898.png 1536w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/sak-volby-incheba.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wow, that sounds truly exceptional. In what other ways do you see yourselves as pioneers in the Slovak market? Is there anything you've managed to achieve that no one else has?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also managed to release our first DOer application in the Microsoft store \u2013 an AI assistant in Teams that works with data in SharePoint and Teams, which today streamlines processes for thousands of people. However, an even bigger \u201ctechnological treat\" within our innovative projects is the first VR Metaverse festival in Slovakia for Slovensk\u00e1 sporite\u013e\u0148a, for which we won 2nd place at the Best Events Awards in Rome in the Metaverse events category. We connected more than 4,000 people in virtual reality, and we created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startitup.sk\/na-slovensku-prebehla-revolucna-akcia-v-metaverze-na-vesmirnej-lodi-skakali-tisicky-slovakov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holoportation-powered art performances on three metaverse festival stages<\/a>. \u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wow, the future is here!&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haha, yes. It was a truly unique project, and several times we paused to consider what era of technological advancement we were in. We're from a generation that grew up offline in the yard and without cell phones, so it's fascinating to witness this transformation and be a direct part of it as innovation creators. We even later discovered that the project was unique worldwide from a technological and programmatic perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SLSP: VR Space Base Festival (Case Study)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fm-txyJweJQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How did this idea even come about?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial idea came from us. During the lockdown, young people faced communication problems and restrictions in social activities. The inability to meet physically, communicate with friends, and attend events began to affect people's mental state. Even virtual meetings and chatting didn't provide the authentic connection people longed for. We have been collaborating with Slovensk\u00e1 sporite\u013e\u0148a for a while, so we approached them with this idea, and they immediately enthusiastically agreed. A team of forward-thinking people works at their BrandHub, as they call their department. The idea of the first metaverse event immediately excited them. They placed their trust in us, and we continue to collaborate on the project.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does a metaverse festival look like? What happened there?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The space was called Space Base and was set within a spaceship environment that evoked an immersive sci-fi gaming world for visitors. The event allowed people in the metaverse to meet up, talk with friends and new people in real-time, providing a natural sense of communication that was missing during the lockdown. Attendees could also enjoy concerts, DJs, singing contests, stand-up comedy, tree planting, avatar and outfit changes, a photo gallery, and other fun activities. Additionally, they could earn the digital currency \"Spejs\u00e1ky\" by participating in various activities. The metaverse allows for greater interactivity and experiences that are closer to reality than multiplayer games like Minecraft or Roblox. This means better interaction with others and the possibility of realistically earning virtual money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/vr-festival-spacebase-1024x598.png\" alt=\"VR space base metaverse\" class=\"wp-image-5316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/vr-festival-spacebase-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/vr-festival-spacebase-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/vr-festival-spacebase-768x449.png 768w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/vr-festival-spacebase-1536x898.png 1536w, https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/vr-festival-spacebase.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><\/figure><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you also operate internationally? Do you have foreign collaborations in your portfolio?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We created the personal assistant Skybow Assistant in the style of the aforementioned DOer application for the renowned Swiss company Skybow. We were also the only Czechoslovak company to exhibit at the European Collaboration Summit 2022 in Dusseldorf. We shared our experience in creating Metaverse events with a keynote presentation at Event Fest in Prague. Currently, we are working on a system for a Danish biotech company and a German concern focused on construction and development.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have a dream project you'd like to work on, or a client you'd love to collaborate with?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every client is a dream client, because for us it doesn't matter if a startup with 6 people or a manufacturing company with 500 comes to us. Regardless of whether it's about personal relationships or business, harmonious cooperation is key to success. When we meet a client who is friendly, communicative, and willing to collaborate to achieve common goals, the whole process is enjoyable and the results are often much better. Such a client is a true partner, and working with them is a pleasure. It often happens that such a relationship brings not only professional success but also mutual trust and long-term friendship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opiumsystems.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dusseldorf-skybowxopium-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5286\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faily\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Let's get to some spicier moments. Have you had any situations that left a really bitter taste in your mouth?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure! It wouldn't be possible without such moments. We met the first \u201cSlovak entrepreneurs.\u201d They're the kind who order custom software from you, you prepare a fantastic application for them, they praise it as great, but when it comes time to pay the final invoice, suddenly the software is worthless, it didn't meet their expectations, and they certainly won't pay you. This is despite the fact that they use the application, their IT staff have learned how to do things with it, and they use data and know-how that are yours for their own application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ouch, that must have hurt!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but unfortunately that wasn't our last situation of a similar nature. We ordered furniture for our offices from another \u201cSlovak entrepreneur\u201d prototype, paid a deposit, and after excuses like: our car broke down, we can't come today because someone died, because it's raining, we'll come next week, in a month... we realized that the gentleman entrepreneur collects deposits but doesn't deliver goods. He hasn't delivered to us to this day, so Samo has to sit at a makeshift desk because we don't have the furniture and wall paneling in the office that we would like. ????&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>After all, we are in Slovakia. <\/strong>????&nbsp;<strong> Here, one must apparently be very careful of calculating and deceitful people.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but also on the judicial system. The enforceability of law in Slovakia is catastrophic. If a customer doesn't pay your invoice and you take them to court, it will drag on forever and cost you a lot of money. And if your lawyer happens to miss a hearing due to illness, you will lose the case immediately. (In this regard, we would like to thank our law firm, which acknowledged its mistake and covered all the costs of the court case for us. We appreciate it.) To top it off, the businessman claimed that he won the lawsuit because he was dissatisfied, not because he owed us money and because we couldn't attend court. So this lesson taught us\u2026 what the hell did it teach us? ????\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-text-color\" style=\"color:#00afff;font-size:30px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400\"><blockquote><p>Today we're doing things differently.

Such a client receives a lot extra from us; we work for them with passion and deliver services that would be hard to find elsewhere. If we don't feel this, we simply don't enter into a collaboration. And if the chemistry doesn't work out later, we have a reputable law firm specializing in our field that ensures our contracts are properly set up and protects our time and know-how. We've learned that not everyone has the same worldview as us, so we protect ourselves. ???? After every project we turn down, a better one awaits us... one where we can collaborate with people we resonate with, and that's more important to us than anything else.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"nezastavujte\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What were your biggest challenges over these three years, and how did you overcome them?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We think that every single project involved some challenge that we always managed to overcome successfully.
