Another year has passed and we would like to summarize the highlights of the year in our traditional annual review.
The year 2022 got off to a cold and stormy start. Covid measures were strict throughout Germany and daily testing was a must. Working from home was still part of our concept. Even though hybrid working is now part of our work culture and involved some changes, we were able to get amazing projects off the ground: The implementation of the disaster recovery concept was successfully completed. February 1, 2022 was a particularly big day for us, as we launched nexnet.cloud. A project that a large part of our team had been working on with passion for some time.
Unfortunately, we also received very frightening news at the beginning of the year. Russia started a war with Ukraine and suddenly many people were on the run, including relatives and friends of some of our colleagues. We at nexnet tried to help and support where we could.
With the spring-like months, the coronavirus measures finally eased. And we not only welcomed new colleagues, but also gained our first major customers for the cloud! As May is known to make everything new, nexnet.de was given a new, modern design. With the beautiful weather and mild temperatures, the traditional barbecue on the terrace was of course a must. Everyone was cordially invited. It was also time for our summer party. We enjoyed spending time together with our colleagues from nexnet and netgroup. We had a great time together with good food, stimulating conversations and good music.
Unfortunately, the situation in Ukraine remained unchanged in the summer. And new dangers now also affected Germany. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution issued specific information to commercial enterprises that there is an increased risk of disinformation and cyber attacks. Colleagues were therefore made aware to be particularly careful and to contact IT immediately in the event of suspicious emails.
But there was also good news. Among other things, we were represented at K5X with our nexnet.cloud and had many interesting discussions with potential customers. Our colleagues, trainees and students used the beautiful days for joint team events, for example on the roof terrace in our office at Potsdamer Platz. For the sports enthusiasts at nexnet, there was also VeloCity - THE event of the year for cyclists in Berlin.
In the fall, we welcomed new colleagues and planned our Christmas party. Even though the corona measures were tightened again and more colleagues were working from home, we wanted to take the opportunity to organize another party with the nexnet employees. This was held in December and it was a cozy evening in our own office with many wonderful impressions that we will remember for a long time to come.
In the remaining weeks of the year, we at nexnet will be working together once again to successfully complete the final projects.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers, partners and colleagues once again for the shared moments full of motivation, joy and ambition and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration in the new year!
We are excited to see what 2023 has in store for us!
