Ref. MARK14498
In Brief Vivansa (www.vivansa.com) is a professional IT company delivering end-to-end integrated services to its Customers.
Vivansa has developed a strong competence in the field of e-
Customs through its participation to large-scale projects launched by the European Commission (e.g. EMCS, CCN/CSI, CUST-DEV2) in partnership with leading actors of the IT
market. Vivansa has gained the confidence of the involved stakeholders (European Commission, national Customs
authorities, Economic Operators) with respect to a shared vision for providing e-Customs solutions as well as trusted service provider.
Vivansa places innovation at the heart of its development
strategy and has demonstrated its ability to deliver turn-key business solutions that directly satisfy the customer’s need in vertical markets (e.g. XSIZETM business solution for EMCS,
LXR.CCNTM multi-application connector for CCN/CSI, ELLiXXiRTM e-Customs Community Initiative).
Since its establishment in 2001, Vivansa has a constant growth of 31% GMCA and annual revenue of €1.1M in FY2009. About
30% of the revenue base is recurring, deriving from the upgrade and maintenance of turn-key solutions as well as sub-
contracting activities to major IT companies. The company employs 15 people mainly located at its
headquarter in Brussels-Wavre, Belgium, and has opened in 2008 a subsidiary in Moscow, Russia.
The potential for Vivansa’s growth is based on:
• Our unique combination of both IT and business expertises in the field of e-Customs (in particular trans-
European reforms implementation following MASP orientations)
• Our ability to deliver turn-key business solutions for e-Customs.
• Our knowledge of national Customs authorities
environments.
Today, Vivansa’s reputation and quality results are acknowledged by all actors of the e-Customs domain.

Our Services Vivansa services offering is organised around three types of service delivery:
Transformation Services make use of a large
spectrum of disciplines (covering organisation, methods, application, and infrastructure levels) and SOA standards (e.g. TOGAF, OSIMM) that
your Organisation can benefit from to increase its agility and stay ahead of the competition.
Operation Services aim at handling your Organisation's everyday operations with a level
of care, innovation and attention to detail that go well beyond the routine and also at ensuring
the corrective and evolutive maintenance of our turn-key solutions (e.g. XSIZE, LXR.CCN, LXR.XEOS, etc.).
Security services provide a comprehensive
approach to Security Domain Modelling, Risk Management, and Business Continuity Planning and related tooling to help your Organisation
addressing the dilemma of opening-up its Information Technology systems to boost its
performance in a constantly changing environment, and at the same time, exposing itself to increasingly complex and numerous
security risks.
This services offering is supported by:
• Business partnerships with IT companies playing a
leading role on the IT market, and technology alliances;
• A strong focus on quality and adherence to methodology
and standards (e.g. ITIL, TOGAF, ISO9001:2008),
underpinned by an internal framework, called VITAL
(Vivansa Information Technology Active Library);
• Research & Development activities (e.g. Excise
Validation Center).

Our Values
The Company and its people operate according to a set of corporate values. These living values are strongly linked to our story and identity. These values are:
• Always innovate.
The Information Technology area is a warp-speed changing world! Consequently, the only way to stay in the running is to keep one step ahead of the
competition. For us, this means being at the cutting edge of technology, staying vigilant, discovering new
applications, expanding our skills base, foreseeing trends, focusing on those that will make the difference.
• Stay pragmatic. Technology is abundant, trends come and go. What's in
it for you? We advise on the best solutions for your situation - not ours. The key is objectivity, flexibility and pragmatism – Simply because you need results.
• Be free. We made the choice of being independent from any
software editor or hardware manufacturer in order to work with you in full transparency and objectivity. That
choice is characterised by our commitment to the Open Source Software (OSS) community since
the establishment of the company.
• People make projects. Each project is carried out with an extreme attention to the small details that make a big difference at the end. This approach is only possible because of the high
quality of our staff and its strong commitment into the project realisation.
