Strengthening companies, drive progress, securing the future
2008. A group of IT experts founded a company to guide customers from the life science sector on their digital journey. The company grew and expanded its services. About seven years later, it hit a low point. But the squad was more than a group of experts. It was a team. Together, with much integrity, hard work, and courage, they overcame the crisis.
With success: 2020 was the company's most successful fiscal year to date. With a spirit of trust and openness, they worked together with one goal: To advise and guide customers, and to offer solutions that generate tangible added value.
Celebrating peaks and overcoming slumps - not just in your own organization, but in your customers - isn’t something that every company can do - Team YAVEON can.
