Company founders – Jacek L. Madajczyk (1)
•
Graduated from the Department of Mathematics and from the Department of
Physics Warsaw University.
•
In 1989 he completed the PhD thesis in the Center for Theoretical Physics Polish
Academy of Science followed by the post doctoral fellowship at the University of
Southern California (Research Associate Los Angeles 1989-1991).
•
Starting from 1993 he was working for ATM (Polish distributor of Silicon Graphics
Inc.) on various positions starting from Supercomputing Division Manager and
completing as Strategic Projects Department Director and Plenipotentiary to the
Board. He was one of the elite group of early adopters implementing
supercomputing technology in Poland. His most remarkable achievement was
introducing in 1995 the first supercomputer from Poland ever on the prestige list
of world wide largest supercomputing installations TOP500.
•
Starting from 2006 Jacek L. Madajczyk has been coordinating R&D projects
within ATM. He initiated creation of the R&D center (CBR ATM-Lab) and acquired
EU co-financing of more than 4 million PLN for 5 projects in total. In 2009 CBR
ATM-Lab was successfully (break even point after the first year) transformed into
ATM Software to commercialize the results of the above mentioned projects and
to gain market share in the area of multimedia software products and services.
•
In the year 2007 Jacek L. Madajczyk initiated creation of the first Special
Economic Zone in Warsaw devoted to ICT innovative technologies. In 2008 he
acquired more than 70 million PLN of EU co-financing for the realization of the
ATM Innovation Center project in the years 2009-2014.
Company founders – Jacek L. Madajczyk (2)
ATM Innovation Center (CI ATM) project for years 2009-2014:

•
total EU co-funding of the project 72 320 578 PLN (about 24 Million USD).
•
CI ATM activities will include, but not be restricted to providing outsourcing
services, technological support as well as support for the commercialization
process of most advanced ICT technologies,
•
activities will be correlated with the expansion of the existing ATMAN
Telecommunication Center, the available data center floor space will be
increased several times and new office building will be completed to provide
space for innovative technology companies,

Genesis
•
The company's mission is to commercialize Phoenix-RTOS and implement it in a wide range of modern
embedded systems,
•
The Phoenix-RTOS prototype also know as Phoenix was developed between 2000 and 2001 in the Faculty
of Electronics and Information Technology of Warsaw University of Technology as M. Sc. thesis by Pawel
Pisarczyk,
•
The first version of the system run on embedded PCs housing IA32 processors,
•
Successful development of the Phoenix prototype led to the creation of the IMMOS company,
•
