We have just celebrated another 2 x 10 year anniversaries at Conscensia.
Olha and Ihor were celebrated with cake, balloons, speeches and presents at their special day. We are proud to have such loyal and dedicated employees, which is beneficiary for both Conscensia and our clients.
Every day, our developers run fast to develop innovative software solutions for our clients.
It is great when you can share a hobby with your colleagues – and achieve personal goals together.
We are busy at our development center in Lviv in Ukraine. Our clients need more software developers, and we have no problem finding their new developers in Ukraine. However, due to lack of office space – we have moved to a bigger office in Lviv – where we have plenty of space.
We are proud to announce that we have opened a development center in Warsaw in Poland.
From time to time, we are contacted by companies that have projects where the software development has to take place within EU and NATO. We have decided to give this opportunity to our clients – and we are now at full speed at our new office.
A big welcome to our new Norwegian client, Armin-Tech AS.
Armin-Tech AS develops the software solution ARMIN, which combines mechanical feedback with big data and machine learning to find the optimal maintenance strategy and predict faults, before they occur. The solution can decease the maintenance costs by 20%, lower downtime with 15% and troubleshooting is 30% more efficient.
Armin-Tech has been very impressed with the start of the new cooperation. Fredrik Foss, CEO and founder of Armin-Tech AS, says: “The selection interview and onboarding process of new employees was highly satisfying. Conscensia delivered good quality and a thorough process the whole way”.

Conscensia sees a huge potential in the Norwegian and Swedish market. These markets have a high demand for talented software developers, just as in the rest of Western Europe. IKT Norway’s survey from 2017 showed that 38% of their members have had IT job vacancies, but were unable to find qualified candidates for the positions. Unfortunately, it resulted in 42% of the members having to reject orders/projects.
In order to help these businesses, Conscensia has expanded our Scandinavian sales team by hiring Vidar Øvrebø as Regional Sales Director on the Norweigan and Swedish market. Vidar’s primary task is to find new clients on these markets, as he has many years of experience within the IT and Marine & Offshore sector.
In December, our office in Lviv is extra lively. There are many secret Secret Santas, who surprise their colleagues with small gifts. Last Thursday, Conscensia held our traditional Christmas party, where the Secret Santas were revealed – and everyone got their last gift from their Secret Santa. There was also served mulled wine and Danish pancake puffs. (called “gløgg” and “æbleskiver” in Danish).
At Conscensia, we believe in sharing our knowledge about software development, sourcing and cooperation across borders to the IT industry.
In Ukraine, we write articles for the tech media and invite people for seminars, using both our talented staff as speakers, or inviting guest speakers who are expects on certain interesting topics. During the last 6 months, we have given presentations about Progressive Web Applications, Chatbots UX, Scrum Basics and other JavaScript meetups. One of our developers also acts as a mentor for school children, where he visits schools and show 7th – 8th graders how computer science can be fun and interesting.
Come and visit Conscensia at IT Arena in Lviv from September 28th – September 30th. The 5th edition of Eastern Europe’s largest IT conference has 4 thematic tracks (product, technology, business and start-up) and 90 speakers are ready to share their knowledge with you, e.g. from Google, Tesla, eBay, Facebook and KPMG.
Conscensia supports the IT sector in Ukraine and is a Gold Partner at the conference.
We look forward to many interesting speakers as well as talking to participants are our stand.
We were also a Gold Sponsor of IT Arena in 2017
Nothing can stop Conscensia from participating in the yearly DHL Relay Race (5 x 5 km) in Aalborg, Denmark. As we were 2 runners short – our CEO Carsten Hansen and VP of Global Delivery Line Milthers took one for the team – and ran 2 rounds. Now that is team spirit!
We also met with a former Conscensia employee – Dmitriy Lalak. He used to work for Spar Nord at our development center in Lviv, Ukraine – now he works for Spar Nord at their office in Aalborg. Unfortunately, he could not run on our team this year, as Spar Nord needed him on their running team. Continue reading
