Future Processing was founded in 2000 by technology entrepreneur Jarosław Czaja. From the start, the company concentrated on developing high-quality applications and employed only engineering or computer science graduates holding masters degrees, who are passionate about programming. The first employee is still with the company today.
2011 has been another successful year. The Deloitte Fast50 ranked us as the fastest growing software company in Poland and the 22nd fastest growing company in the whole of the Central Europe region. One of our software engineers attracted global recognition, achieving the best result in a prestigious international competition for algorithmicists. For the second year running we organised World Usability Day events in Silesia - bigger and better than previous ones. In the summer the first phase of our new campus was completed. We launched a new ideas, technology and business development facility - FP Lab - giving employees a chance to try being an entrepreneur and once again, we doubled the size of our workforce. Before the end of the year we had 350 employees and only a 5% employee turnover rate.
2010 saw us winning new and bigger clients in the UK. We also expanded further into Europe and began working with customers in France and the USA too. As a result of this growth we doubled the size of our workforce and developed plans for a new campus-style office. Construction began in the spring. Later in the year we established the Future Processing Academy to facilitate ongoing professional development for our employees. The Academy also helps train technology students around the country. We also began branching out into mobile application development.
In early 2009 we became a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. Despite the global recession, we experienced strong growth and by the end of the year we employed 120 developers. We began developing our community relations programme. As well as sponsoring an IT Academic Day conference at the Silesian University of Technology and the University's participation in the ACM Programming Contest, we also jointly organized the first Polish 24-hour programming marathon.
New UK clients in 2008 enabled us to grow the development team by a further 60%. We opened a brand new development centre in Gliwice, Southern Poland. We also achieved ISO 9001: 2000 certification.
2007 brought us new customers and larger contracts. As a result Future Processing's team grew to over 50 engineers. Our focus remained on Microsoft technologies, which led to achieving Microsoft Certified Partner status.
By 2006 we were experiencing rapid growth. That year alone our development team doubled in size and we saw a similar increase in the number of projects undertaken.
Future Processing branched out into the UK market. Over the next four years, we experienced steady growth, particularly with our UK customers.
Future Processing was founded by Jarosław Czaja, while he was still studying Computer Science at University in Poland.
