Meet the Digital Kit

/in , , , , , , /by

In ASM Web Services we have been certified as digitalizing agents to grant the Digital Kit to SMEs and freelancers. But, what is the Digital Kit?

The Digital Kit is a financial aid, up to 12,000 euros, to boost the digitization of those who may find more obstacles in the way of digital transformation: SMEs and freelancers.

This aid is born from the great crisis caused by the covid-19 pandemic. The European Union launched the Next Generation European funds, endowed with 750,000 million euros, of which 140,000 were for Spain. This led to the creation of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, which includes the Digital Kit for the digitalization and technological promotion of SMEs and the self-employed.

What services can I use it for?

In ASM we offer many digitalization services that your company can benefit from using the Digital Kit:

  • Website and internet presence
  • Customer management
  • Electronic invoicing
  • Cybersecurity
  • E-commerce
  • Business intelligence and analytics
  • Virtual office services and tools
  • Social network management
  • Process management
  • Secure communications

Application deadlines

In March, the program opened for the first segment of beneficiaries: companies with between 10 and 49 workers. As of this July, it is now open for micro-SMEs with between 3 and 10 workers. For the self-employed or small companies with between 1 and 3 workers, the turn will be between September and October (depending on the forecast).

Requirements to benefit from the Digital Kit

In order to benefit from the Digital Kit your company must meet the following conditions:

  1. Be a small company, a micro-company or a self-employed.
  2. Not be considered a company in crisis.
  3. Be up to date with tax and Social Security payments.
  4. Not to incur in any of the prohibitions foreseen in the General Law of Subsidies.
  5. To be registered in the Census of businessmen, professionals and resellers of the State Agency of Tributary Administration or in the equivalent census of the Foral Tax Administration.
  6. Not be subject to a pending recovery order following a previous decision of the European Commission.
  7. Not to exceed the minimum aid limit (€200,000).
  8. Have the Digital Maturity Level assessment according to the diagnostic test on the Acelera Pyme platform.

At ASM Web Services we are determined to apply that of a new year, new life. During 2018 a transformation has been taking place that will culminate in 2019 and that will mean a turn in the company’s strategy. We will do so coinciding with the fifteenth anniversary of our foundation. This process of change is nothing more than a response through innovation to the challenges that customers have been posing us. It is possible that among the gifts this Christmas you have received a Google Home or Amazon Alexa, the virtual assistants controlled by voice that work based on artificial intelligence (AI), right? This is what we mean when we talk about new challenges. In 2018 artificial intelligence has hit hard and has taken a large part of the prominence in the technological world. More and more businesses have opted for integrating these types of advanced technologies that allow machines to understand, act and learn.

“Elementary my dear Watson…”

At ASM Web Services we have incorporated the IBM Watson artificial intelligence solution to our service catalog. Seeing what the market demands, the decision was elementary – “My dear Watson,” Sherlock Holmes would point out. The IBM Watson platform is capable of making intelligent decisions by analyzing millions of data in real time and constantly learning. In addition, IBM cognitive technology, among other things, automates customer service services and guides you through the purchase process by recommending products or services based on your interests.

2018 has been a year to further strengthen ties with IBM.

The North American giant has recognized our trajectory and quality offering technological solutions, granting us the Gold Business Partner qualification. The recognition is part of the IBM PartnerWorld program, IBM’s premier partner program that gives partners access to tools and resources to help transform clients into leaders in their industry.

And also with Akeneo

We have also strengthened ties with Akeneo. Rodrigo Pais Garay – our eCommerce functional consultant – has obtained the official certification as Akeneo Implementation Specialist.

This one, along with the one he had achieved months ago as a Magento Certified Solution Specialist, makes him the first consultant in the entire state to have this dual certification. Centralized product information. I fact, during the month of October we started the implementation of Akeneo PIM Enterprise Edition for Roca. With this incorporation, the sanitary company will centralize all the product information in the catalog of all its brands worldwide.

With this project we further strengthen this strategic line of business.

Codorníu’s new ‘eCommerce’

One of the most important wineries in Spain, Codorníu, has decided to give new impetus to its online sales with the launch of the new eCommerce. Our team has worked for months on the development of this online store managed with Magento 2.0, one of the most popular and effective e-commerce platforms in the world.

Codorníu’s new online store includes customization functions that users can apply to their orders during the purchase process.

For example, in the Anna de Codorníu product line they can select different bottle designs and include personalized messages on the label, which they write while making the online purchase.

Do you know what a television platform for virtual PayTV operators is?

Explained in a very simplified way, it is a platform that allows local fiber operators to combine the content of online series and movie platforms such as Netflix with their fixed, mobile and internet offer.

Also the soccer matches of beIN Sports and other digital channels such as Fox, Syfy or AXN. Throughout 2018 ASM Web Services has been a technological partner of a new platform of this type, TVUp. 

There are projects of which we are proud, not only for the final result but also for what their creation can contribute to society. The weSAVEeat eCommerce is one of them.

The UN CC: Learn association, linked to the United Nations (UN), has included weSAVEeat in a selection of six apps from around the world that contribute to change the way we buy food. The post highlights the savings in food that can be achieved using this mobile application, developed by ASMWS. UN CC: Learn is a partnership of more than 30 multilateral organizations that support countries to design and implement training strategies on climate change that are systematic, recurrent and results-oriented.

We have taken a leap

The year that we have just said goodbye has helped us to grow outside of Catalonia. We have opened new offices in León, located in the Center for Technology-Based Companies (CEBT), very close to the popular MUSAC, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y León. Hand in hand with the new facilities has come an expansion of the team with the incorporation of Mario Coello and Jesús Martínez. Both will work in the area dedicated to the development of projects with the Scala programming language. From ASM Web Services we wish you a happy and successful 2019.
