The FBK Developers team is constantly growing and full of opportunities of all kinds.

At FBK, we are committed to make the world a better place. It's not a slogan or something we started working on following the recent myth of sustainability no matter what, but it's been a key principle of the company since its foundation.

Global leaders are working to strengthen and make supply chains more resilient, manage the impact of inflation, enhance cyber security and keep sustainability central.

In recent years, Tender Management has matured a lot, centers of excellence have been created all over the globe to centralize and make the entire tendering process more efficient, and the vision of companies has shifted from national to regional global.

This year we inaugurated a new initiative within FBK - The Research Lab - with the aim of analyzing and studying tendering market trends and examining the main technologies that can revolutionize it in the next 10 years.

More than 110 years have passed since the establishment of the first International Women's Day (IWD) and a lot of progress has been made since that day.

With digitization becoming increasingly important, having the right set of tech weapons has never been more vital for companies to survive against the competition.

In countries like UK and Canada, Master Framework based on Bands and Tiers is becoming the new standard for tender. Being able to manage this new pricing model is more and more a “must” for Healthcare companies.

FBK, since early beginning, is driven by the mission to unleash the potential of every Bids & Tenders through software that makes Tender Management simpler, more efficient e more profitable.

At FBK, we’ve adopted the famous motto never stop learning as the main way to keep our attention always focused on this #purpose, as a fundamental part of the daily commitment.

Is it correct to catalogue Tender Management generally among the revenue channels for a life science company?

Even if the ICT environment has been historically composed mainly by male workers nowadays the trend is changing though: software, cyber security and cloud computing professionals, in particular, are in high demand of female employees.

There’s an hilarious but concrete way to communicate between some colleagues of the R&D department of FBK, especially among two of them who are usually commenting or remarking different features concerning FBK software solutions by saying “ ehi pal, have you seen it, it was exactly how I was saying, it’s a system perfectly working ” and so on.

According to recent reports, Italian medical device CND nomenclature ( Classificazione Nazionale dei dispositivi medici) will be utilized as basis for the Eudamed database, the information system for exchanging legal information related to the application of European Union Directives on medical devices.

In a global environment there’s a growing need for a Life Sciences company to provide itself with the most appropriate cloud solution to face the global competition.

Some days ago, during mid-morning coffee with some colleagues down at FBK lounge bar, we were informally discussing about the analytical data arising from the flow of CM|XS Suite, when the question popped up: how can we transfer and communicate in an effective manner those data, and make them useful at the best for any business needs?

Silent but truly respectable, Sole is our mascot, owned by Gianluca Albonico and his family. A magnificent specimen of pure Boxer dog, Sole is constantly “guarding” our headquarter hall with robust presence, observing all movements of guests, employees, delivery guys through his particular look on his face, a mix of quiet attention and gently disregard.

The original profile of FBK as software provider for Tenders & Offers has gradually turned through the years, and in addition to being a technology company, has now become a modern consulting and strategic partner for Tender Management solutions, a global leader at international level.

With regard to the expanding of its international market position FBK is looking for high-energy, driven Business Analysts and Project Managers to represent FBK as the leading provider of Tender Management software solutions for Life Sciences and Healthcare companies.

One of the most requested term in recent times is for sure “Resilience”, both related to the personal behavior towards the things in life, but equally connected to the professional activities. With regard to the second aspect, we should like to mention a recent document by Gartner, Inc. the world’s leading information technology research and advisor company, that we’re glad to have among our prestigious consulting partners.

The title of this post is one of the FBK’s topic – who is in touch with our products knows this very well - but it’s not just a claim, this is the basis where we start developing new updates or new features for our CM|XS platform.

It’s good to know that during 2017 the industry market 4.0 in Italy grew up by 30% compared to the previous year, this interesting data comes from the Osservatorio Industria 4.0 by School Management Politecnico in Milan.

It happened a couple of weeks ago, just after the return from the summer holidays and right after an intense meeting, taking a break from reports, schedule, contracts and between a joke about the start of the national football league and some comments about the weather, when somebody of the board came out talking about the new and various openings in Milan for the incoming autumn season.
