It’s time for a big round of applause for 2021! Yeah, some of you may say, “It wasn’t the best of years, you know, with all the global crises, social polarization, and technology challenges like widening skills gap and cybersecurity threats, and whatnot. True. There’s a flip side to everything, though! Technology has been instrumental in helping us get off the ground and dust ourselves off after the pandemic started. High-tech manufacturing has driven the economic recovery, with tech industries growing over 4% in the third and fourth quarters of the year.¹ According to Forrester, software purchases will see the fastest growth, of almost 10% in 2021 and just over 11% in 2022.² With economic recovery, tech leaders will have room to expand their project spending, increasing demand for tech consulting. Direct digital transformation investments will accelerate to a 15.4% CAGR in 2019-2024, becoming 55% of all information and communications technology investments by the end of 2024.

I thought of saying it has been a successful year for Resolute Software, but that wouldn’t have even scratched the surface. We achieved so much on so many fronts; we grew together as a team, and not only in numbers; we became better professionals and had to overcome many challenges along the way. So, I guess it’s best to say that it was a very RESOLUTE year!

Here’s a quick rundown of what made us so Resolute:

Fast-paced business growth

Since its inception, Resolute Software has successfully doubled its business year over year. We did it this year, too, against all odds! Not only did we manage to achieve 100% business growth for a third consecutive year, but we did it by winning for customers among the top players in their industry. We’ve been privileged to have helped Fortune 100 companies, organizations with a global impact, to write history in their field.

A firm foothold in healthcare

Since 2020, we have been gradually entering into long-term partnerships with some of the biggest names in healthcare, and this year, our work has finally paid off. The systems and applications we worked on have been used by thousands of patients and professionals worldwide, winning with human-centered design and UX, cross-device interoperability, and performance.

• The Resolute team created a game-changing application for a global health organization used by people across the globe to stay up to date on health news. Ever since it was launched earlier this year, the app has been downloaded more than 500,000 times, featuring content in 6 languages and reaching users in 30 regions worldwide. Check out this infographic to learn more.
• We helped a global manufacturer of diagnostic imaging and radiopharmaceutical products modernize and migrate its legacy desktop application to the web used by tens of thousands of medical professionals worldwide. Read the full story.

We just launched a complimentary Salesforce assessment

As part of this assessment, we will conduct an audit of your system to identify potential gaps in how the system was set up. We’ll provide recommendations for improvement. And you know what? It’s completely FREE of charge, no strings attached. Check it out and book a slot with our Salesforce consultants here.

We conquered new territory

Earlier this year, we expanded in Western Europe by opening an office in the heart of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The team there has focused on business development and catering to the needs of existing clients in the area.

We won Heartcount’s “People-First Company” award for a second consecutive year

Or, in other words, we’ve been winning every year since we started Resolute Software! This year again, we managed to keep our happiness level high and our attitude – beyond positive. See how we did it.

The team has been rapidly growing

We love to invest in people training, helping them advance their careers and become the true professionals they are meant to be. But this year, we also managed to net a few key hires – senior leaders with tons of experience and expertise who headed our development teams and some of our most significant client projects. Naturally, we had to move to a more spacious office that could fit us in.

2022 will be even a more fabulous hiring year as our talent acquisition team doubled its capacity this year (see, we follow Moore’s law ).

We had LOADS of FUN this year!

Unlike 2020 when everything was, in general, forbidden, this year, we managed to organize not one but two teambuilding events! Here’s the proof:

Coming up next

Lots of exciting new initiatives and announcements are coming up shortly! Early 2022, we start with a series of webinars on modernizing existing .NET applications, co-hosted with a partner. Watch out this space to find out more and reserve your seat.

Meanwhile, be sure to check out our ASP.Net Web Forms to Modern ASP.NET migration guide.

And finally, did you know that Pantone has just announced Very Peri to be the color of 2022? A nuance of purple. Coincidence? I think NOT!

Happy Holidays from the Resolute Team!
