KEPS began as a small Czechoslovakian company, servicing among also distribution of coin
dispensers. With the introduction of the Euro the company wanted to access an
expanded market. It needed an ICT solution to raise its profile and communicate
better with a larger number of potential clients.

KEPS deployed a website with a corresponding email address, which was available
in several languages. Email make communication fast, efficient and traceable.
The website is the company’s primary vehicle for promotion, advertisement and
sales activities.

The website has contributed to some of KEPS’ 5% annual growth in sales and
services, without having to employ more staff. This growth would not be possible
without the latest ICT and web technologies.

1. Smaller companies get bigger benefits. The latest ICT and web technologies
give small and micro SMEs relatively bigger benefits without any increase in
employees.

2. International potential. Even the smallest SME can use ICT and web
technologies to reach customers outside of their home and local communities
– and access an international market.
