Reflecting on Success and Preparing for the Future: A Mid-Year Update from KOKAI's CEO.
As the founder and CEO of KOKAI, as well as the co-founder of Aimplan, and with over 40 years of experience in the IT industry, including more than 30 years as a CEO in companies focussing on business-critical applications, I can once again confirm that time seems to fly by! We find ourselves at the end of yet another half-year, with most of us having completed our summer vacations. Summer is coming to an end, and fall is quickly approaching. This is an excellent moment to reflect, provide a quick assessment of the first half of the year, and, most importantly, plan for the next half-year and beyond.
At KOKAI, we recently held our annual consultant conference, concluded the first half of the year, and kicked off the second half. We can confidently say that the first half of the year was a very successful period for the company: we gained many new clients, completed numerous successful projects across various countries, formed new partnerships, welcomed several new employees, and, above all, achieved excellent results once again.
Our vision is to deliver world-class planning and reporting software, globally. As we move forward, every step we take is aligned with this commitment.
But that's in the past; now we're focused entirely on the road ahead. Our strategy and plans for the coming years are more refined than ever, and everything we do is linked to the company’s vision. Our vision is to deliver world-class planning and reporting software globally.
KOKAI will continue to strengthen its collaboration with strategic partners. Today, InsightSoftware is one of the leading players in the global market for BI and FP&A products. KOKAI aims to deepen this partnership in the coming years by delivering, managing, and supporting Bizview clients worldwide.
Aimplan has quickly established itself as a major global provider of FP&A solutions based on Microsoft Power BI. Over the last year, KOKAI has built an expert competence centre focused on Aimplan and Power BI for service partners and clients, maximising the value of deploying FP&A solutions using Microsoft technology. Last but not least, through its partnership with Microsoft, KOKAI has developed a competence centre around Microsoft Fabric. Today, we can offer advice, support, and assistance in utilising all components of Microsoft Fabric.
KOKAI will provide the greatest and most experienced knowledge in our field. Most importantly, it will be easy and worthwhile to collaborate with us, no matter where you are in the world.
KOKAI is a corporation owned by its employees; those who helped build it and benefit from its success. Our objective has never been to be the largest, but we will never compromise on this: Kokai will provide the greatest and most experienced knowledge in our field. And, most importantly, it will be easy and worthwhile to collaborate with Kokai as a partner or client, no matter where you are in the world.
Are you curious about what we can do for you? Or perhaps you just want a conversation and some advice on the opportunities that Microsoft Fabric technology could offer your organisation? Whatever the reason, you are always welcome to contact us.
We wish all our customers, partners, and other connections the best of luck in the coming half-year, which will undoubtedly be filled with many opportunities but also challenges and unforeseen events - part of the daily reality in the business market.
