DevStat is implementing a project for the Statistical Office of Macedonia
DevStat is carrying out (in consortium) the technical assistance project to implement the Tailor-made software development and data warehouse for economic statistics in the State Statistical Office of Macedonia. The project addresses the needs for a very detailed description of functionalities needed to re-design the existing Data warehouse for macroeconomic statistics. These specifications will be used in the preparation of the ToR for tendering outsourced software development for data warehouse for macroeconomic statistics.
We have moved to a new office
We are happy to announce that we have now moved into a new office headquarters.
DevStat continues to grow and as a natural step of that growth we need more space. Our new office is significantly larger, and if gives our staff a greatly improved working environment, as well as room for continued expansion. From our new office we will be able to work even more effectively.
The fact that this move has happened as we are celebrating the company’s 12th birthday, is symbolic of the long-term success of the company. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has contributed to the company and its success.
The visiting address of our new office is Av. Barón de cárcer, 26 – First floor, 46001 – Valencia.
