Things move and evolve, and those who do not evolve with them get left behind.
Our journey with Juyo Analytics began with a first meeting with Vassilis Syropoulos in Brussels on 26th of October, 2013. A visit to Cluj followed on 6th of April, 2014, and the Juyo contract was signed on 11th of May, 2014.
What transpired was HSDS building a magnificent Analytics Solution for the Hospitality Industry under the stewardship of Vassilis. His vision became reality, continued to grow, and carries on growing with more than 1,600 hotels powered by HSDS development for Juyo.
When you do “Outsourced Development”, the actual software is owned by the client. “Let’s call a spade a spade.” But quite frankly speaking, what is the software worth if the brains behind building it are not part and parcel of the package?
Vassilis slowly started to build his own team, step by step, with commercial members, product specialists in Revenue Management and Data Analytics, and, later on, a design agency to give everything a little more sex appeal.
I am very proud of everything the dedicated HSDS/Juyo development team has built during these 13 years of collaboration. During this process, more than 25 HSDS developers, QA and Support Team members have been involved.
Vassilis recently shared his thoughts with me regarding the current Juyo team:
“Hey Adriaan,
Was nice catching up last week as usual. Here are my thoughts and proposal for the current Juyo team.
Before anything else, I want to say that what you and HSDS have helped build at Juyo has been genuinely exceptional, and I know you are a supporter of us. The team you put with us has been part of the Juyo story in a way that goes well beyond a typical outsourcing relationship. I don’t know how else it would have started…
Radu, Adriana, Dan and Maria have been so deeply embedded in Juyo for so long that they are, in many ways, Juyo itself. They carry the culture, the context, and the knowledge”.
Vassilis, thank you for 13 invigorating years of collaboration. We wish you and the entire Juyo team continued success as the journey moves forward.
And to everyone at HSDS who contributed along the way, thank you. This is what great partnerships are built on: people, trust, expertise and a willingness to evolve.
Adriaan
