Regards,
Fernando Francés
Chairman of the everis
Board of Directors.
I am pleased to present the 2013-2014 everis Group annual report, a year in which we achieved an A+
rating for excellence according to the GRI Guide, demonstrating our company's commitment to transparency
and to society.
In keeping with our track record every year in our eighteen-year history, this year we have continued to grow,
both in revenue and in workforce size. But the most important milestone this year has undoubtedly been our
joining NTT DATA, one of world's largest IT services companies.
We have entered this new stage with new owners, who are counting on us to grow, especially in Spain and
Latin America, and who understand, respect, and value the fact that we are a different kind of company.
Becoming part of NTT DATA provides us with another dimension, greater financial capacity, technical
capabilities, technologies, staff all around the world, and the potential of developing more complex and
groundbreaking transformative projects with our clients, all with a team of 70,000 professionals in more than
40 countries.
We have also completed a cycle in our Foundation, and we have started a new stage with a new Foundation
chairman, Eugenio Galdón, who has had a fantastic career in the public and private sectors and who arrives
with outstanding business experience, which he will surely put to use at the Foundation during a new stage of
international growth.
Lastly, I also wish to highlight the capability and commitment to human rights policies among our professionals
in all the countries where everis operates, demonstrated in their participation as volunteers in projects with
marginalized groups.

The Board of Directors is the highest decision-
making body of the company and its main mission
is to steer the company, with the power to direct,
manage and represent it in the development of the
various activities involved in its corporate purpose.
The Board’s policy is to delegate daily management
to the executive structures and the company’s
management team and to focus its activities on
promotional and supervisory duties and corporate
management control.
To this end, it assumes and performs the following
functions, among others:
·· Validating the company's general strategy and
management guidelines.
·· Supporting and supervising upper-level
management, establishing the basis of corporate
organization to guarantee maximum efficiency of
said organization.
·· Overseeing the transparency and accuracy of
the information the company provides in its
dealings with partners and markets in general.
·· Regulating the organization and operation of the
Board itself.
·· Any other functions that are necessary to
perform the foregoing and to uphold the purpose
of the entity as per the terms of applicable
legal provisions and not within the scope of
shareholders.
In exercising its organizational duties, the Board
formally established two executive committees
— the audit and compliance committee and the
nomination and remuneration committee.
The audit and compliance committee is involved in
the following responsibilities:
·· Reviewing the company's and consolidated
group's annual financial statements prior to
their approval by the Board, monitoring strict
compliance with legal requirements and the
correct application of generally accepted
accounting principles, as well as reporting,
where applicable, any proposed changes to
accounting principles and criteria suggested by
management.
·· Acting as a communication channel between the
Board and the external auditors of the company.
·· Supervising and controlling the operation of
internal auditing services as well as the operation
of company services responsible for control
and risk prevention and corporate compliance
control of all applicable standards (corporate
compliance).
·· Establishing and supervising internal
mechanisms that allow employees to
communicate any irregularities or potentially
significant contingencies confidentially and
anonymously, if considered appropriate.
Furthermore, the nomination and remuneration
committee performs the following duties:
·· Proposing and reviewing the criteria to be
followed for appointing directors and selecting
candidates.
·· Reporting and proposing to the Board the
appointment of directors, for the subsequent
proposal to appoint them to the General

involve or may involve conflicts of interest and
compatibility requests affecting directors and
senior management of the company.
y a la alta dirección de la compañía.
Additionally, and in order to ensure the representation
of independent Board members, the Board has
appointed a representative as coordinating councilor
or lead director, whose main role is the coordination
of external directors.
In particular, it channels all questions and concerns
that the external directors convey to the chairman
or to the Board of Directors, assisting and working
with the chairman to compare and agree on issues
to be discussed, suggesting the inclusion of new
items on the agenda, when appropriate, as well as
directing the evaluation of the chairman or other
Board members.
Additionally, the everis Group compensation model
links management's compensation to the company’s
optimal performance over the short, medium and
long terms.
Variable compensation is conditional to the
achievement of certain operating results measured
at a Group level on a quarterly and annual basis, true
to its principle of discerning generosity. Likewise,
the current long-term incentive plan, as configured
through the Commitment and Retention Plan (CRP)
agreed with the parent company of NTT DATA Inc.,
also links the accrual and payment of benefits to
managers and employees with the achievement of
certain operating results during the three fiscal years
during which the plan has been implemented.

EVERIS STRENGTHENS ITS
GLOBAL PRESENCE.	
Our internal presence is constantly growing,
especially with our incorporation into NTT DATA.
However, everis also maintains a special focus
on its country of origin, which this year has
materialized in the opening of offices in Aragon,
Basque Country and Catalonia.
The first such office, located in the El Trovador
Business Center in Zaragoza, was inaugurated
by the Industry and Innovation Councilor of the
Government of Aragon, Arturo Aliaga López, and
the CEO of everis Aragon, Carlos Galve. This
office reflects the consolidation of our focus at
everis on the Community of Aragon as a center
for innovation and an ideal location to carry out
technology projects.
The second office is located in the Iberdrola
Tower in Bilbao. Its inauguration was attended by
the president of everis, Fernando Francés, the
executive director of business development of
NTT DATA, Manabu Tanaka, the general director
of business development of NTT DATA, Osamu
Fukumoto, and the office director of everis in
Bilbao, Germán Cutillas.
At present, more than half of the everis business
in the Basque Country is generated by providing
valuable services to energy and utility companies,
while healthcare and government areas
experienced significant growth of more than 25%
of the company's business in this region.

IT services company in the world, with 70,000
professionals and a turnover of 10 billion euros.
This partnership is part of the NTT DATA’s
strategy to globalize its activities and expand its
service portfolio and presence beyond Japan.
Collaboration with everis will allow NTT DATA to
strengthen its experience in the industrial sector
and to reach not only large clients in Spain and
a variety of countries in Latin America, but also
the multinational companies that operate in these
markets.
In addition to the potential synergy and collaboration
with NTT DATA, everis will also be able to work more
closely with companies from the NTT group in order to

By signing the agreement, everis will maintain its

At everis, our strategic vision allows us
to provide value to society and above all to
strengthen our commitment of each of our

company with a global reach, exceptional in

become, together with NTT DATA, number

to expand and innovate our solutions and services,
increasing our capabilities and our resources in
terms of technology, finance and geographic scope.
This reflects a global vision aimed not only at our

strengthen our work, to develop talent internally,
and to engage in partnerships with a variety of
knowledge institutions. That is to say, at everis
we are committed to our clients, our suppliers,
our professionals, and future candidates for
employment at our offices.
This approach is coupled by a commitment to

discerning generosity, responsible freedom, and
creative energy.
everis professionals must know and uphold the
contents of this code, and it is made available to
them through the company's website and on the
corporate Intranet. Likewise, we have a system
whereby employees can report any action that
may harm the company, its employees or third
parties, which includes the direct involvement of the
chairman of the auditing and compliance committee
of the Board of Directors.
The values, principles, and standards that comprise
the code of ethics are applicable to all employees,
directors, administrators, partners, shareholders
and participants, as well as all collaborators,
consultants, agents, interns and/or subcontractors,

OUR COMMITMENT TO
ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
At everis we wish to serve as a kind of platform
to launch new ideas and businesses, which is why
we continue to support the entrepreneurial spirit.
To this end, we combine our technological capacity
with the talent and experience of our professionals.
But our commitment to entrepreneurship is not only
internal. We also promote this spirit through the
everis Foundation and through our relations with
knowledge institutions and technological incubators.
everisDigital.
Proof of this is everisDigital, an area within the
company that identifies startups with stand-out
technologies in web, cloud computing or IT/
communications, and accelerates their growth by
overcoming the potential risks they may encounter.
everisDigital studies the startups' ideas, business
models and potential market, so as to provide
advice on their projects and to develop their talent
with full autonomy and the support of everis.
During the past year, everisDigital has launched
various initiatives aimed at finding new startups
that have a solid technological component, are
commercially viable and incorporate a high level of
innovation. Two such initiatives stand out:
1.	speedDating: held once every other month,
this has become the star event in the innovation
area. During the event, entrepreneurs pitch their
ideas to investors and everis partners in a quick
and efficient way through four-minute meetings.
2.	 Pitch2Market: using the "elevator pitch" format
imported from the Silicon Valley, various startups
present their value proposals to investors and
everis partners in just six minutes. They then
have four minutes to answer questions from the
panel.
Both events are highly productive, bringing
together the best talent in business with the best
talent in entrepreneurship in order to share ideas,
create disruption and fuel inspiration.
Silicon Valley in Spain.
In addition to everisDigital, at everis we have
implemented a number of initiatives relating to
enterprise and innovation. Our goal is to think big
and overcome bigger challenges. This is why everis
signed a partnership agreement with Founder
Institute, the largest idea-phase project incubator in
the world, in order to import the Silicon Valley model
to Spain and help entrepreneurs create technology
companies that can last over time.
everis participates in the development and monitoring
of Founder Institute projects, which include the
participation of mentors such as Fernando Francés,
president of everis, and Ángel Gutiérrez Borjabad,
Innovation partner. Through this initiative, both
directors will sponsor the best B2B project to come
forward in the current edition of the Founder Institute
in Spain, to provide advice and support in their growth
plan from the everisDigital area.
The model of this business incubator is based on
a methodology that focuses on the mentoring of
various groups of entrepreneurs, who are given
exhaustive support and follow-up. A group of
executives with experience in creating companies
accompany program participants and offer support
and advice to help them avoid mistakes and
leverage the strongest points of their ideas.

INITIATIVES, NEW BUSINESSES IN
NEW MARKETS.
Our society is one in which global challenges
continue to grow. At everis we remain optimistic,
and we are increasingly aggressive in our expansion
strategy. This is why we seek to get ahead of the
market, and to address its various needs. In this
way, and in addition to our traditional consulting,
we leverage internal talent to analyze areas of future
growth, launching new companies that can become
a profitable business.
During the past fiscal year we launched two new
businesses: Xtend, which is a learning and content
technology platform for schools, and nettit, a
debt settling system so that companies can settle
payments and debts through a virtual network.
Xtend.
This initiative came about through collaboration
between the everis group and Cospa&Agilmic
(Educaria group). The project offers a social learning
environment so students can receive customized
education through an environment that encourages
their active participation.
Xtend is a unique product which creates a
comprehensive environment in which children
create and teachers share, while it is the students
who take the reins of their own learning. It involves
a customized learning platform in which students
create their own curriculum and where the system
brings intelligence to decision-making through the
students’ own knowledge.
The system is based on three pillars: a customized
learning platform, open content and a social faculty
website. Xtend likewise provides comprehensive
service to its clients, supplemented with integration,
support and implementation services for mobile
devices, faculty training, IT management and
hosting.
nettit.
This is a platform created for companies to
connect with one another and settle their billing.
nettit makes a tool which has for some time been
exclusively available to large corporate groups
accessible to all Spanish businesses.
This service allows businesses to "net" (settle)
the accounts that the user companies enter,
analyzing them weekly with a powerful algorithm,
which optimizes debt flows. nettit uses both
the multilateral settlement system as well as the
indirect payment system whereby, applying timely
payments, the results from settled accounts
are multiplied. And it does it all with absolute
confidentiality.
The benefits that this platform offers companies
on the network are very significant, such as
reducing collection risks, improving financial ratios,
decreasing financial and administration costs, and
even increased borrowing capacity achieved by
reducing the need to finance client balances.
fitalent.
A venture capital fund, registered with the CNMV,
which invests in innovative technology companies
during launch stage, located in Spain, through
joint investments with other funds. During the past
fiscal year, fitalent has invested in new companies
whose business is based on scientific research:
·· Adhbio: a biotech company that produces
bioadhesives, biocompatible liquid glues which
offer an alternative to traditional methods of
wound closure, like sutures (traditional stitches),
staples, and bandages. fitalent has invested
250,000 euros.
·· Signadyne: fitalent and the venture capital
manager of La Caixa, Caixa Capital Risc, have
invested 300,000 euros in Signadyne. Signadyne
is a company that develops a technology to
conduct testing, measurement and control of
electronic equipment. The company is a spin-off
of the Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO).
·· Palobiofarma: this is a laboratory that
researches and develops new drugs aimed
at improving quality of life in people who
suffer from neurodegenerative and respiratory
illnesses. In this case, the venture capital fund
of everis, fitalent, and Inveready Seed Capital
have invested one million euros in the biotech
company Palobiofarma.

everis Aerospace, Defense and Security.
EThis company, which offers solutions for
implementation of critical systems in the areas of
defense, aeronautics, space, and security, has
consolidated its strategy as an SME engine in its
sector.
The main objective of everis Aerospace, Defense
and Security is to generate an ecosystem of small
and medium-sized enterprises where they can all
work in a connected way with strong ties to everis:
Ibetor, Herta Security, NTGS, Quatripole, SCR,
Embention, Evercare, ISID, Toro and Simumak.
We hold a minority stake in these companies (rather
than buying them outright) in order to maintain that
same entrepreneurial spirit with which they came
to be, and so they can leverage the knowledge of
international markets and the network of clients of
the everis group.
During the past year, everis Aerospace, Defense
and Security, together with NTGS and Simumak,
have begun manufacture of 20 driving simulators
daily, which will be sent to Brazil. There has also
been interest in other countries in Latin America
and the Middle East, where performing a test using
these devices is not mandatory for obtaining a
driver's license.
The manufacture of these simulators generates
more than one hundred jobs directly linked to the
production of innovative solutions, as well as four
hundred jobs indirectly created throughout the
value chain, ranging from logistics and shipping to
assembly and packaging.
Likewise, the State Agency of Air Safety (AESA,
in Spanish) has, for the first time in Spain, granted
a Type Certificate for an unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) for civilian use. The partnership between
everis Aerospace, Defense and Security with
its partner Softwcare has ensured the successful
completion of this certification process, thanks
to a working methodology which ranges from
the development of a certification scheme to
the preparation of documentation and evidence
showing compliance with civil legislation.
Based on the success of this project, a joint
venture, called EVERCARE, has been created
between the two companies. It specializes in
providing certification services and software
qualification in critical systems in the automotive,
aerospace and defense industries.
OTHER COMPANIES.
In addition to Xtend, nettit, fitalent and everis
Aerospace and Defense, the everis group has
the following companies:
ameu8. This company specializes in business
mobility solutions, and its services range from
mobile strategy to promotion and maintenance of
apps in the various “app stores”, passing through
development projects and products.
everilion. This company focuses on online
business solutions and cloud-based payment
systems.
exeleria. This company offers comprehensive
engineering and consultancy services related to
energy management and efficiency, renewable
energies, sustainability, infrastructure and the
environment.

MARCH 2014.
EVERIS BECOMES ESTABLISHED
IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR.
During the past fiscal year, at everis we have put
forward groundbreaking projects in the healthcare
sector, such as MEAL and Tereha. The first,
financed by the European Commission, seeks to
remedy poor diet and obesity in children using
an educational approach that involves teachers,
students and nutritional experts. The second
project is a tool that stands out as a real milestone,
as it notably improves motor and comprehensive
capabilities in patients with brain damage.
During recent months we have strengthened our
presence in the healthcare and social services
industries thanks to our everis health unit. These
efforts have not been in vain, as this year everis
was recognized as Company of the Year in the IT
Health sector in Latin America by Frost & Sullivan
(see chapter: Sustainability). This award especially
values the suite of ehCOS® products developed
by everis health. This technology, which recently
obtained the Oracle certification, allows hospitals,
clinics, and other healthcare institutions to become
fully digitalized.
Another milestone for everis in the healthcare
sector this past year was its collaboration with
the Government of Navarra to develop a new
care model for patients with multiple chronic
illnesses, aimed at providing comprehensive and
integrated care. This plan, which contributes to the
sustainability of the healthcare system, customizes
care for these patients, which comprise 17.3% of
the population, and more than 50% of people over
the age of 80.
In addition, and also with funding from the
European Commission, we have the development
in Spain of the Decide-IT serious game. This is
a simulator used to train business leaders and
executives on potential crisis situations with
significant stressors. This project, which falls within
the innovation area, is useful in simulating the
problems faced by businesses from small startups
to large multinationals.

COMMITMENT TO THE SMART
WORLD.
Two of the objectives of so-called "smartcities"
are to integrate the use of information and
communication technologies (ICT) in society and
to generate more sustainable urban spaces. This a
highly complex system in which cities adapt to the
needs of their residents, thanks to more interactive
and efficient services and applications.
everis, as a company committed to its community
and environment, has joined the effort to create
smart cities through a number of initiatives. These
initiatives include our report titled "everiSmart: a
pragmatic but exciting vision of the Smart world".
In this study, we found that representatives from
the ICT sector in Spain believe it is necessary to
create an open collaboration model for participation
by government bodies, private entities, and mixed
enterprise, aimed at encouraging the development
of the Smart world, one in which technology
startups will play an essential role.
The study was conducted on the basis of interviews
with 38 important figures from civil society who
are engaged with the ICT sector, and it found
that telecommunications companies should not
only focus their products and services around
connectivity, but must also leverage the good
relations they enjoy with their customers to generate
value in the huge amount of data that they handle.
The everiSmart report also analyzes the role of
energy companies. They must also improve their
business processes, as they are able to detect
problems in the Smart Grid to get ahead of these
issues and offer solutions. Likewise, utilities
companies have the advantage of understanding
behavioral patterns of the people who comprise
smart cities, allowing them to provide a better
service offering that integrates value proposals from
all sectors involved in the Smart world.

OUR STUDIES.
In addition to the Smartcities report, this year
everis has also developed a report with the
Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) titled
"Creating companies in university environments".
This report was prepared by the Technologies for
Business Management Group (TIGE, in Spanish)
and the Program to Create University Companies
of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, in
collaboration with the everis Telecommunications
Professorship of the Polytechnic University of
Madrid.
The study analyzes the entrepreneurial capacity of
universities and is based primarily on three blocks:
the university itself, knowledge transfer entities and
the companies created at the university.
The UPM has implemented a comprehensive
policy to encourage entrepreneurial activity,
seeking to interconnect infrastructure, personnel
and knowledge through formal and informal
structures aimed at transferring knowledge. As
an example of this activity, the study focuses on
six of the companies created at the UPM, analyzing
the main factors for success.

Careers in science, technology and
mathematics.
At everis, our desire to encourage careers in
science and technology and to promote innovative
talent constitutes one of the main focuses of
our Corporate Social Responsibility policy. Since
2008, we have conducted numerous studies and
projects related to the study and promotion of
careers in technology. During the past fiscal year,
we conducted a study called Factors of Influence
in Choosing to Study Science, Technology, and
Mathematics.
Why are there fewer and fewer young scientists,
mathematicians and engineers? What factors
influence what people choose to study? How can
we encourage people to choose these careers?
everis, together with the consultant e-motiva, and
in collaboration with the Generalitat of Catalonia,
has strived to answer this question through a study
which included participation of more than 4,700
high school students from various schools around
Catalonia. Unlike most approaches to the issue, this
study surveyed the protagonists of the problem —
young people — directly.
The study seeks to understand the major variables
affecting the lack of science, technology and
mathematics (STM) students, defining the key
elements in students' choice of academic training
and professional careers.
One of the conclusions worth highlighting is that
the main reason why young people shy away from
these studies is the so-called Pygmalion effect.
They perceive these careers to be difficult pursuits
and see themselves as not having what it takes,
especially girls and students from the low end of the
socioeconomic spectrum.

Noa & Max: Trapped in Electronia
animated series.
Together with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF),
we created Noa & Max: Trapped in Electronia, an
animated series that seeks to encourage innovative
talent, learning, and creativity in the ICT field
among young people. The series, which receives
funding from the Spanish Foundation for Science
and Technology (FECYT, in Spanish), a public
foundation under the Ministry of Economy and
Competitiveness, is aimed at young people ages 10
to 14, and includes four three-minute pilot episodes
that can be viewed on the internet (www.noamax.tv).
Noa and Max, the sibling protagonists, must use
their knowledge of science and technology to get
out of the videogame Electronia where they are
stuck. The plot, which introduces small science
and technology challenges, seeks to improve
perceptions among young people of their own
ability to understand and study scientific and
technological phenomena, as well as to encourage
their creativity and innovative talent.
The design and creation of the series is backed
by the conclusions made in a study conducted by
everis on the factors influencing students' decision
with regards to their studies, a study conducted
with nearly 5,000 high school students. The series
is aimed at young people in this age range, because
based on the study, at this age there is still time to
act, as decisions have not yet been made.
The Noa & Max series has two portals. Firstly
there is the institutional portal, aimed at an adult
audience (www.noamaxproject.com) (teachers,
parents, animation professionals, companies
and institutions), which offers information on the
educational project behind Noa & Max. Then there
is the youth portal (www.noamax.tv), which targets
a younger audience, and where in addition to the
series episodes visitors can download additional
materials and content (see chapter: Sustainability).

44 ___ ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 PEOPLE ___ 45
The key to our success lies in the talent of our
professionals. At everis we are convinced that
people are the key to achieving all that we set
out to do, and we believe that the motivation
and satisfaction of all our people contributes to
improvements in productivity. This is why we place
such importance on the management of human
resources, supported by the area which at everis
we call People.
EVERIS CULTURE AND VALUES.
Over the past year, the People area has been
working on the project called "Leadership by values".
This initiative, which began with an overhaul of our
values, seeks to strengthen our culture, which allows
us to remain competitive and helps us stand out
in the marketplace. Specifically, this project aims
to strengthen our corporate spirit by collectively
establishing the way that we do things.
Our corporate values define who we are and who we
want to become. In fact, our work has always been in
line with our values, and these same values relate to
every one of our strategic plans.
It was during this past year that, as part of the
Leadership by values project, we have aligned the
behaviors of the organization to ensure they are in
keeping with our values. We seek consistency, we
know who we want to be, and we ensure that our
actions are consistent with the corporate values of
everis. This consistency is sought in three essential
aspects: in our personal interactions, in our processes
and in our strategy.
·· Personal consistency.
We have identified consistent and inconsistent
behaviors in ourselves. We have defined as
an organization what types of behaviors are
expected from us based on our roles. In addition,
these efforts are evaluated and developed.
·· Consistency in processes.
We ensure that the organization's processes
are in keeping with our values and that the
processes themselves encourage alignment
with these values. For this reason, we have
aligned both people management and business
processes in keeping with these values.
·· Consistency in strategy
We seek to ensure that strategic decisions
are linked to our values. In order to achieve
our ideal culture as a company, we promote
transformational projects and maintain our
values-based leadership in our strategic
plan, heading to 17, which is currently being
developed and will be included in the next
corporate report.
•	 We take responsibility
for our decisions.
•	 We fully understand
what we do.
•	 We respect each
other´s autonomy.
•	 We are passionate in
becoming the best in
what we do.
•	 We do and make
things differently, we
don’t settle for less.
•	 We overcome
impossible challenges
with a positive attitude.

TRAINING.
At everis we aim to train and develop each of
our professionals in keeping with their individual
skills and interests. The Corporate University
contributes to the development of internal talent
and increases the value of our company.
Proof of this lies in the creation this past year of
the everis executive school, a school whose
objective is to allow company leaders to acquire,
strengthen, and develop the abilities and knowledge
essential to the continued development of our
business and the growth of our company.
In addition, Ágora has completed its first year
with very positive reviews from the professionals at
everis. Likewise, evercampus continues to offer
an extensive catalogue of online courses that are
adapted to the needs of each professional.
Moreover, at everis we offer an extensive language
education program, based on one of the best
online language training platforms in the market and
supplemented by in-person and remote classes.
During the past year, everis professionals have
received an average of 30 hours of training.
Economic investment in training activities this past
year was 8.9 million euros, corresponding to 810
euros per professional.
Ágora and evercampus.
To encourage learning in teams, collective
knowledge, and the pooling of creativity of everis
professionals. In this same spirit, the everis training
center was opened in 2012.
One year later, reviews have been very positive,
and this space for learning and creativity continues
to evolve. In only the past few months, Ágora has
received an average of nearly 9,000 visits, which
amounts to some 60 people per day.
The introduction of Ágora everis supplements the
training program for everis professionals offered
through evercampus, the e-learning platform used
by the company. This virtual campus offers a wide
range of career training options that meet specific
professional development needs, using specific
maps for each profile.

(see chapter: Sustainability)
During the past fiscal year, the corporate university
created the everis executive school, whose
objective is to boost the company's strategy by
contributing to the development of global leadership
skills among senior management.
It was envisioned to be:
·· A key element in the achievement of the
company's strategy;
·· A tool to integrate the needs for development of
knowledge, skills and values among directors;
·· A space for integration and networking, both
internal and external.
The everis executive school has five new
programs to develop global leaders:

MENTORING AT EVERIS.
everis uses mentors to manage professional
careers, which represent a key figure that
accompanies all professionals beginning on their
first day on the job. At everis mentoring is a
specific kind of learning process in which a person
with more experience and knowledge ensures the
professional development of his or her mentee. The
mentor is a kind of counselor who, in addition to
offering guidance and advice, transmits the everis
model and culture to the mentee.
INDUCTION PROGRAM.
In addition to mentoring, all professionals arriving at
everis take part in an induction program starting on
their first day. This initiative takes the form of a trip
that begins with initial training that is conducted by
an everis partner. During this training, the history of
the company is presented, and new professionals
are offered all kinds of information relating to our
unique company model, based on our values and
on our business. The best-reviewed parts of this
course are those with include participation in our
company values and our methodology.
We also utilize several points of control, with
meetings throughout the first year during which we
reflect in a group on the time spent at the company
and the development each of us has experienced.
The induction program concludes with a final
meeting held approximately one year after hire.

SATISFACTION OF EVERIS
PROFESSIONALS.
At everis, our professionals are committed to
and engaged with the values of the company. Our
professionals are our most important asset and
they generate added value for our clients. This is
why we believe that their opinions and their level
of satisfaction and motivation are essential.
For this reason we use a survey, called Participa,
to measure these factors. The main objective
of this tool is to ensure that we are upholding
our purpose and acting consistently with our
corporate values.
The results from this past year's Participa survey
include the following highlights:
·· We maintain the same high ratings on work
environment and teamwork.
·· Professional duties are rated very highly; we like
what we do.
·· The indicator of corporate values remains high.
Consolidation of specialized talent.
With this initiative we seek to address a market
need that allows us to develop highly specialized
talent.
Objectives:
·· To define a value proposal for our
specialized talent.
·· To guarantee returns on the value of
specialized talent.
·· To understand and learn to work with a new
figure in our model.

everjob.
This initiative, which began at everis Madrid,
is a tool that helps manage the careers of each
of the everis professionals, allowing for direct
participation in the process whereby projects are
assigned to each individual. The results have been
very positive, and for that reason this initiative has
been implemented in other offices, such as in A
Coruña, Bilbao, and Barcelona.
The method is very simple. Every month, the
everjob Intranet site publishes a number of work
opportunities for which the professionals can
send their application and choose an assignment,
provided that they meet the requirements.
W_e, the everis social Intranet.
Greater interaction and participation. These are
just two of the aspects offered by the new everis
Intranet, which was launched during the past year. It
is an open environment that facilitates the exchange
of information and that responds to the needs of the
company's professionals.
everis has been a pioneer in the use of the new
SharePoint 2013 for the building of w_e, a name
which emphasizes the social and collaborative
dynamic that has been created. This new platform
reflects a commitment to global and borderless
communication between company professionals.
The communication-driven structure of this
Intranet is demonstrated in the features the site
provides, using a unique interface that operates
like a social network. Professionals can use this
interface to post information through the use of
specialized communities, or to collaborate online
with documents to which several people in different
locations have simultaneous access, without the
need to install any specific software.
Take advantage of the social
intranet. An excellent way of working

Prevention.
The Occupational Hazards area ensures the
health of our professionals. To this end, everis
has implemented countless initiatives to advocate
for general wellbeing. Some such measures
include, for example in the case of our Spain
offices:
·· Periodic medical checkups.
·· Visual and dental health campaigns.
·· Specialized training on emergencies and
evacuations.
·· Specific first aid training.
·· CPR training.
·· Breastfeeding room.
During the past fiscal year, the data on everis
Spain are as follows:
·· Accidents at work that result in sick leave
(excluding relapse): 10.
·· Relapses of accidents at work: 1.
·· Accidents at work that do not result in sick leave: 18.
·· Occupational diseases: 0 .
·· Days of leave from accidents at work: 282.
Because the laws on occupational hazards vary by
country, the criteria we present below differ at each
office:
At everis México:
·· Disabilities/leave: 52.
·· General illness: 40.
·· Accident at work or during commute: 1.
·· Maternity: 11.
Likewise, countless measures are implemented at
our Mexican offices regarding occupational hazards
and health-related issues. First aid courses, medical
insurance and agreements, and health programs
constitute some such measures. In addition,
an annual Health Week is organized offering
information and promotions of all kinds for the
professionals at everis Mexico.
Our offices in Colombia have not reported any
leave or work-related accident during the past
year. Management of occupational hazards at our
Colombian offices is based on the implementation
and execution of the entire occupational health
and safety and environmental management
system. I'm attaching the timeline for each of the
activities.
In Peru, medical leave, stipulated by case, is as
follows:
·· Disease: 292.
·· Common accident: 18.
·· Work-related accident: 0.
The following are examples of actions on
occupational health and hazards conducted in
Peru during the past year:
·· Preparation of occupational health and safety
regulations.
·· Joint committee on occupational health and
safety at each entity.
·· Training plan on issues of occupational health
and safety.
·· Occupational medical exams.
The data from the Brazilian office are as follows:
·· Total disabilities: 63.
·· Maternity: 35.
·· General illness: 22.
·· Accident at work or during commute: 6.
In addition, they conduct numerous initiatives,
such as the Internal Work-related Accident
Prevention Week. During that week, the everis
professionals in Brazil have the opportunity to
attend presentations on different topics relating
to health and healthy lifestyles. Likewise,
every month they send a clipping on general
wellbeing. Additionally, they have a card for
purchasing medications, and pregnant women
and professionals with chronic diseases receive
discounts on medical treatments.
everflex.
Launched in 2010, this is a platform where everis
professionals can purchase certain products and
services with tax benefits (such as computer
equipment, medical insurance, daycare, transport
coupons, etc.) allowing them to get returns on their
gross compensation.
everbuy.
This is a private online shopping portal for
company professionals where they can view
different options and plans with significant
discounts on leisure, health/welfare, clothing,
etc., allowing them to get returns on their net
compensation.
everbank.
Through everbank, everis professionals can
access various financial products (such as payroll
accounts, personal loans, postgraduate financing,
etc.) which they can contract from the everis virtual
office with significant advantages. In addition, the
everis virtual office distributes these benefits once
annually among company professionals who have
contracted any product.
My compensation: the benefits of flexible
compensation.
All of our professionals receive a wide range of
social and personal benefits. Medical insurance,
economic assistance for food, life and accident
insurance, flexible compensation, corporate
American Express accounts, and scheduling
flexibility are just some of these benefits.
The program to improve human resources policy
at everis, Living everis (the compensation
and benefits area in Spain) includes My
compensation, which is an initiative to optimize
total compensation of employees.
The three areas that comprise My compensation
(everflex, everbuy and everbank) offer the
option to receive benefits in these three areas
(described below) through ad hoc portals created
to facilitate use.

everclubs.
In addition to all the advantages described above,
everis professionals have the option to create or
join everclubs, which are groups of people from the
company who wish to perform a certain activity or
hobby together.
EVERIS COMMITTED TO SOCIETY.
To contribute to and get involved with the
development of the society of which we form part.
This is one or our main objectives in terms of social
action. We work to break down the many barriers
that exist between groups, such as the disabled.
everis, as a socially responsible company, has
implemented numerous initiatives to encourage
workplace integration of people with disabilities.
WE WORK TO BREAK DOWN THE MANY BARRIERS
THAT EXIST BETWEEN GROUPS.
The objective of these groups is to channel
initiatives that arouse interest among our
professionals, creating common areas for practicing
shared interests and helping to integrate new
employees.
Some of the current everclubs include:
Prodis Foundation.
Through the Prodis Foundation we have worked
on integrating people with mental disabilities in the
workplace by hiring them to work in support of
the business areas. To this end we implemented
a program that offers internships and subsequent
hiring under the "PROMENTOR" program in the
following areas:
·· Courier: a person whose role is to distribute
internal correspondence within the office. After
the internship period, the professional was
incorporated in our staff. We also have another
intern who is currently being shadowed prior to
their formal hiring.
·· IT support: a person in charge of performing
daily review of certain spaces and of the
proper functioning of technical and audiovisual
equipment in these spaces. After the internship
period, the professional was incorporated in our
staff.
·· Documentation: a person in charge of
organizing, scanning and filing non-sensitive
documentation. This person is currently
completing their internship and is expected to
join the staff in September 2015.
72 ___ ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 PEOPLE ___ 73
Adecco Foundation.
In February 2013, everis signed a collaboration
agreement with the Adecco Foundation. This
agreement, which reflects the commitment of
both parties to encourage social and occupational
integration of people with disabilities, has resulted in
the following initiatives:
Diversity Plan: identification and awareness.
This program aims to normalize interaction with
people with disabilities and manage diversity at
the everis workplace through social responsibility
policies. This program has also enjoyed the direct
involvement of various everis employees with
disabilities.
Also included in this program are activities for job
placement and creation for people with disabilities
so they can achieve employment that is sustainable
over time. The actions implemented include:
·· Internal communication plan for everis
professionals in Spain.
·· Training sessions for all levels to build
awareness and understanding regarding the
diversity plan.
·· Awareness sessions with disabled people who
present an outstanding example in their lives.
·· Training assistance (incorporation of disabled
people).
·· Encouraging volunteer activities.
·· Advisory program for employees eligible to
receive a certificate of disability.
·· Integration and adaptation of hiring processes
in order to encourage equal opportunities for
people with disabilities.
Another of the initiatives carried out this past
year was a visit to everis by the swimmer Teresa
Perales. Teresa is a paralympic athlete who made a
presentation called "My Life on Wheels”. She spoke
of her motivation to excel and beat records, thus
raising awareness about how disability is overcome.
Candidate search.
Activities for job placement and creation for
disabled university students have been conducted,
supported by training aimed at obtaining
employment which is sustainable over time.
Through its relations with universities, the Adecco
Foundation has acted as an intermediary between
candidates and everis, assessing whether or not
the candidate is right for the job.
The Adecco Foundation has at all times maintained
an active search to identify disabled candidates
who may be a good fit for everis. To date, the
demand in this area of all companies from the
everis Group has not yet been fully met.
Collaboration in selection processes.
During this past year, we enjoyed the collaboration
of the Adecco Foundation in helping reorient our
selection processes. The everis recruitment team
has received training to take into consideration
the special circumstances that may arise during
interviews to hire individuals with disabilities.
Likewise, we have also received support from
foundation staff to find candidates for hire, and in some
cases this staff conducted early interviews to provide
us with a detailed report on the candidate's integration.
Publication of offers in public job placement
services
We publish job offers for various offices in order
to leverage the database that the government
provides for us.
Disability Fair.
In November 2013, we participated in the 7th Job
Fair for People with Disabilities in the Community of
Madrid.
This job fair is one of the most successful in
terms of attendance. During our participation, we
responded to job applications from more than 200
candidates. Unfortunately, most offered skills and
occupational abilities that are not used in everis
businesses.
Selection processes.
33% of selection processes conducted with
disabled candidates have given satisfactory results,
resulting in direct hires by the company.
Given that in normal selection processes our hiring
ratio is just 10%, this indicator demonstrates both
the interest of everis in hiring these individuals,
as well as the work conducted prior to adjust the
search to the disabled person (and not the other
way around).

Teaming.
everis is one of the founding companies of the
Teaming foundation, together with the Intercom
group. The foundation manages the online
crowdsourcing platform Teaming, which was
inspired by a concept created by Jil van Eyle and
consists of encouraging employees to donate
one euro from their paycheck to a social project.
Fourteen years later it was taken to the online
world, thanks to financing from everis and
the Intercom Group, who saw Teaming as an
outstanding opportunity, despite the crisis and
the difficulties, for anyone to help and promote
social solidarity initiatives.
Since then, more than 60,000 "Teamers" (donators)
in Spain have joined one of more than 2,784 groups
(causes) contained in the platform. The next step will
be to bring Teaming to an international audience.
Additionally, since its launch in 2012, when it
managed to collect 66,889 euros, Teaming
donations have skyrocketed. During the first six
months of 2014, the platform has nearly matched its
totals from 2013 with 450,755 euros.
During the next twelve months the project is expected
to launch a series of improvements in the technological
platform to allow greater flexibility and versatility in
communications, as well as launch in other countries

Coach Project of the Exit Foundation.
Nine volunteers from everis Barcelona and
Madrid have participated in the Coach Project of
the Exit Foundation, a professional skill-building
program that works on behalf of the professional
integration of young people at risk of social
exclusion through training projects.
Volunteers serve as coaches, offering guidance and
motivation for these young peoples' professional
futures, listening to them and encouraging them to
overcome their limitations, supporting them in their
decisions, and explaining business operations and
language to them.
The volunteers become role models for these young
people, and they work with them through the use
of coaching and mentoring tools. During the three
months the project lasted, the everis professionals
not only had the opportunity to meet with these
young people, but they also invited them to visit the
everis offices to see some of the departments that
most interest them and get to know the real world
of business.
CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN.
At everis we have always been committed to
society, particularly those who are most in need. For
this reason, every year we collaborate during the
months of December and January to collect food
and toys through different social organizations.
The everis Barcelona office joined the Gran
Recapte food drive organized by Banc dels
Aliments (local Food Bank). This initiative helped to
fill more than forty boxes (more than 880 pounds) of
food, exceeding the 550 pounds collected last year.
The everis Madrid office collected more than
1,100 pounds of nonperishable food for the Banco
de Alimentos and Achalay, the latter of which was
also supported, in collaboration with CEPA, to
collect toys for children. In addition, as in other
years, we placed the tree of solidarity and decals in
the ground floor windows with the amount of food
that we had collected. All of the decals include the
words: Merry Christmas.
This Christmas the everis Murcia, Alicante,
Valencia, and Seville offices joined in support
of the Real Three Kings project that offers the
opportunity to become a "King" for children with
limited resources or at risk of exclusion. Thanks to
the donations of everis professionals, the "Kings"
arrived at four shelters, delivering all the presents.
In Peru more than 120 children at risk of social
exclusion from the Oasis Manchay shelter were
sponsored. This organization is dedicated to
providing social support for families with limited
economic means through a variety of actions,
such as micro-business workshops for parents
and schools for children. In addition, the children
received presents, hot chocolate and a clown show
from everis professionals.
EVERIS
COLLABORATES
WITH FOOD AND
TOYS FOR THE NEEDY.
The office in Brazil implemented various campaigns
with the Gotas de Flor com Amor Institution. Firstly,
thanks to everis kids, they collected more than
one hundred toys which were sent to children and
adolescents from families with limited or no income.
Also, with the help of everfootball, they collected
a total of 50 Christmas baskets as well as 330
pounds of paper that were donated to be recycled
and transformed into handcrafted products for sale.
This year's Christmas Campaign in Colombia
was undertaken in collaboration with the Laetitia
Foundation. In this campaign, everis professionals
were able to make an economic contribution and
deliver presents to children in this foundation.
Meanwhile, everis Mexico launched the Santa
Recluta campaign. The main objective was to bring
together 70 employees to bring smiles to each of
the children at the Temporary Shelter in Mexico City
through the letters they had written to Santa Claus.
Together with all of these initiatives, the #oneword
campaign was also carried out, closely linked to
the important moment in the company's history: its
merger with NTT DATA. The main objective was to
determine a concept that we would carry with us
throughout the year in 2014. To this end, using all
the company's internal channels, a campaign was
implemented for all everis professionals to take
a photograph with the word they wanted to stay
with them through the new year. The result was
a Christmas video with all the terms proposed by
these professionals.

Caps for a new life.
At everis we continued another year with the “Caps
to save lives” campaign. This is an initiative which
we conduct with the Seur Foundation to help sick
children with no economic resources. To this end,
every week we collect pounds of plastic caps at
the different everis offices. Every ton of plastic can
sell for up to 300 euros, which are used entirely to
fund operations or treatments for various kinds of
diseases.
Likewise, in Colombia a soda cap campaign is
carried out for the Sanar Foundation to contribute
to the treatment of more than 500 children suffering
from cancer in Colombia.
Other social actions.
At our offices in Colombia every year a recycling
campaign is conducted to later make donations
to the Burn Foundation. This organization
rehabilitates people who suffer traumas due to
burns, collecting all kinds of recycled materials to
be processed accordingly.
The members of evervolunteer in Peru collaborate
selflessly with various associations that help sick
children with no economic resources. Actions from
this past year included support for the Children's
Hospital, helping 40 children hospitalized for various
illnesses, from pneumonia to heart problems. They
also collaborated in the donation of food for the
children from the White Cross summer camp.
In Italy, professionals collaborated with Prospera
(PRogetto SPERAnza). This is a volunteer
association with more than 1,000 members that
help young people to integrate in the world of work.
Lastly, coinciding with International Internet Day, the
forum "For a Safer Web" (#x1redmassegura) was
created to promote safe and reliable internet use.
The main objective is to inform all users, regardless
of technical knowledge in computers, about the
appropriate and responsible use of all resources
available on the internet. Through this action we
seek to raise awareness and help education people to
prevent users from becoming victims of abuse, scams,
harassment, grooming, and a host of other risks.
SPORTS AND HEALTHY LIVES
AT EVERIS.
The Rock N' Roll Marathon, the EcoRun 2013,
the Carrera de los Emprendedores Race, the
Carrera Entreculturas Race, and the Carrera de las
Capacidades Race are just some of the races and
activities that everis professionals participated in
during the past year in Madrid.
But we advocate for sports and athletics not only
at the central headquarters of everis. All everis
offices participate in various athletic events and
numerous initiatives related to a healthy lifestyle.
The Valencia office is a great example. During
the past year, they held the first Valencia Running
everis Race Circuit. Ten popular races were
chosen as part of the circuit, and participants had
to attend a minimum of six of them to reach final
qualification. The awards were divided into three
categories:
1.	Award for the runner covering the most
kilometers.
2.	Award for the first person to qualify in the league.
3.	Award to the most improved competitor or best
new athlete, based on votes.
everis Valencia also participated in the 2013
Empresas Valencianas Race with a men's team of
three and two mixed teams of four people. More
than 300 runners attended the race representing
various companies from Valencia.
During the past year in Peru the everis life/
care program was carried out, which seeks to
encourage healthy habits. This initiative was
divided primarily into three actions: massage
sessions to prevent muscular problems; healthy
food at offices; and a health library with self-help
books and guides on achieving professional
success.
Also in Peru employees celebrated the "everis
Cup", which included participation of 18 soccer
teams and another 10 mixed volleyball teams.
The main purpose is to promote athletics and
strengthen healthy habits among all of our
professionals.
In Brazil the Quality of Life program was
implemented with a variety of actions, which
will be expanded during the coming year. The
objective of this initiative is to encourage healthy
behaviors with the inclusion of juice machines at
the offices, activities with health organizations, and
even memos with healthy recommendations.

84 ___ ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 EVERIS WITH INSTITUTIONS ___ 85
At everis we are committed to education and
academic excellence, and we wish to become
a platform for talent and knowledge. From our
inception, we have been committed to collaborating
with the largest universities in the country so as
to help and support the coming generation of
talent. Universities generate talent, and it is up to
us as businesses to turn that talent into something
valuable for society.
UNIVERSITY.
Agreements and Chairs.
Collaboration Agreement with the Comillas
Pontifical University
We formalized an agreement with the Comillas
Pontifical University in order to leverage and
strengthen teaching, methodological, technical and
material resources aimed at developing activities
and studies that facilitate the education of future
professionals or the retention of those already
working.
This agreement is reflected in the following areas:
·· everis sponsorship for the financing of the
following research and teaching activities:
End-of-career project awards and sponsorship
of students' scientific and innovative activities,
conferences, athletics events and postgraduate
studies.
·· Conducting a series of initiatives by everis
that seek to forge closer ties between the
company and the university. These activities
range from training on essential skills to open-
door sessions and participation in events and
seminars.
everis-ETSIT-UPM Chair.
As part of our aim to encourage technological
innovation and support entrepreneurship in the
academic world, we have continued the everis-
ETSIT-UPM professorship this past year.
This collaboration agreement aims to encourage
innovation among students in fields of Information
and Communications Technologies. It has been
carried out thanks to the initiative of everis and the
Rogelio Segovia Foundation for the Development of
Telecommunications (Fundetel).
This entity, which is part of the Polytechnic
University of Madrid, is linked to the
Telecommunications Engineering Superior Technical
School (ETSIT), and its purpose is to undertake,
manage, and promote teaching activities, research,
development and innovation.
everis-UPC agreements.
Other agreements that we maintained this past
year include those formalized with the Polytechnic
University of Catalonia (UPC). The objective is to
encourage training on information technologies (IT)
through the everis agreement on innovation and
promotion of research, studies, and professions
in the IT area, implemented at the Barcelona
School of Computer Science (FIB) of the UPC.
Another agreement is in place with the Barcelona
Telecommunications Superior Technical School
(ETSETB), which is also part of the UPC.
The activities that fall under the Agreement with
the FIB focus on research, training, innovation,
knowledge transfer and dissemination, centering on
two main objectives:
·· Firstly, to promote study of IT and related areas
at the UPC (specifically in the undergraduate and
postgraduate offerings at the FIB), in order to
address the decreasing number of professionals
in the labor market in the information technology
sector during recent years. We work together to
bring training and learning to the work world and
employment to those who are degree holders in
the listed fields.
·· On the other hand, the Agreement will boost
applied technical research related to software
engineering (SE), a discipline that contributes
86 ___ ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 EVERIS WITH INSTITUTIONS ___ 87
methods and techniques that assist in the
development and maintenance of quality
software, in those areas identified as priorities
within the sector.
Likewise, the Agreement activities with ETSETB are
focused on:
·· Giving seminars on specific subjects within the
Proyecto Avanzado de Ingenería which are given
in capstone courses, as well as inviting students
to activities at everis facilities.
·· Offering an everis Program of Scholarships for
the 2014-15 and 2015-16 courses leading to
enrollment in the first course for the Masters in
Telecommunications Engineering (MET) of the
ETSETB-UPC.
everis-MPSEI-UPM Chair.
At everis, we have a collaboration agreement with
the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) to
serve as a bridge between the academic world
and the corporate world through the Cátedra de
Mejora de Procesos de Software en el Espacio
Iberoamericano Chair (MPSEI), held by Ángel
Jordán, professor emeritus from Carnergie Mellon
University; directed by José Antonio Calvo-Manzano;
and includes professors from the UPM, the UNED,
and the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Carlos III
University of Madrid).
Beginning in 2005, the MPSEI Chair has expanded
and advanced the installation of more efficient
models for the development of information systems.
Its objectives include the promotion of research,
adaptation and dissemination of techniques for the
improvement of software processes; interdisciplinary
teaching and research activities; the transfer of
technological knowledge and results; and the
financing of scholarships (mainly for doctoral/masters
students) in ICT areas.
The activities carried out within the scope of the
MPSEI Chair include:
·· Proposing lines of work between the priorities and
needs of companies and those of the UPM which
will become doctoral theses for PhD students.
·· Facilitating the maximum dissemination of
research results and, in general, of all of the
activities carried out within the scope of this chair.
To make this a reality, they publish research results
regarding process improvement at conferences
and in journals.
Furthermore, the MPSEI Chair collaborates with the
Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in the translating
into Spanish of one of the process models most
broadly disseminated throughout the world, the
CMMI-DEV v1.3.
The MPSEI Chair also participates in the
organization of conferences, including the SEPG
Europe 2012 Conference, the CISTI 2012
Conference and the Encuentro Hispano Mexicano
on software quality
Initiatives.
Training sessions on “ICT in the Company”.
Given by everis’ most distinguished professionals,
“ICT and the Company” is a seminar that offers a
global vision of the current state of information and
communications systems as a growth engine for a
country’s economy.
Open House days in the everis offices
At everis, we open our company’s doors so that
future professionals may get to know first-hand the
day-to-day operation of a consulting firm. everis
partners and managers present both the company
and specific projects.
Cross-sector Workshops.
These are training sessions for students on how to
work as part of a team, how to make an effective
presentation and how to manage time, among
others.
Sponsorship of capstone projects.
Developing a course with excellent academic results
is synonymous with success. For this reason, and
because we believe that quality training is the sine
qua non condition for identifying talent, everis
sponsors the prizes that universities award to the
best capstone projects related to innovation and new
technologies.
Collaboration with academics.
We make a series of initiatives available to the faculty
(round tables, chats, meetings, etc.) that serve as
educational encounters between players in the
academic world. The idea is to take advantage of
everis’s knowledge, its contacts, its institutional
relationships, in order to cover subjects of interest.
Participation in Employment Forums.
everis annually attends employment forums for
the purpose of guiding, through chats, the greatest
number of young people in their job searches.
Selection processes in university facilities.
So that students will not have to travel and can get
to know the company first-hand, everis conducts
interview days at the university. These include training
on how to present oneself in interviews.
Development of the capstone project at everis.
The student can complete his/her capstone project
at everis and receive advice and guidance from
everis professionals who are experts on the subject.
Job offers on site Through channels.
In order to offer the opportunity to develop their
professional careers at everis, we make many job
offers to students. We go to their environment, to
their universities’ web pages, work spaces, in general
to the web pages they visit.
We sponsor 40 hours of indoor soccer.
This sport is part of the talent development for
young people. We will go so far as to say that it even
supports the development of that part of transversal
knowledge that, combined with technical knowledge,
enables professional success. The sport teaches
teamwork, how to make your best effort, how to fight
for what you want.
San Silvestre Races in the University.
We work with student associations to
organize solidarity races. We establish everis
professionals as liaisons with some of them in
order to support close connections between the
university and the corporation.

EVERIS IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
Project Imagine.
For the second consecutive year, we have
participated in the revolutionary Imagine Silicon
Valley program, created by Xavier Verdaguer.
We hold a creativity competition so that one of our
professionals can enjoy this experience. To be an
“everis dreamer” candidates will need to have
a good level of English, have creative ideas, the
desire to change the world, believe that anything is
possible and create a video explaining their reasons
for wanting to go to the Imagine Silicon Valley
Creativity Center (California). In contrast to the
previous year, this year the meeting will be open not
only to everis managers and executives, but also
to staff.
The winner was Oriana Méndez, who develops
projects in the areas of ICT, Logistics,
Transportation and Smart City, in the everis
Innovation department.
This initiative takes place within the framework
of the everis strategy of encouraging the
entrepreneurial spirit in Spain with actions that, like

We separate waste for future disposal into containers
identified for removal. This separation is based on the
criteria established by legislation in force.
It is key for everis to identify this waste to be re-
used, re-cycling or processing. Within this process,
different responsibilities are identified and listed:
1.	Environmental head, who supervises all the
duties completed by the office head:
·· Supervision of the process of recycling and
re-use.
·· Completion of the reports with the information
supplied by the office head.
·· Monitoring and analysing indicators.
·· Preparation of training and communication
plans.
·· Analysis and response to improvement
suggestions proposed by the employees.
2.	Office head:
·· Supplying the information required for
the management of waste so that the
environmental head can prepare indicator
reports.
·· Identification of new waste.
·· Checking the status of containers and
paper.
·· Monitoring the management of waste
collected.
·· Analysis and response to improvement
suggestions proposed by the employees.
3.	Employees: will be in charge of the separation
and storage of each type of waste in the
containers provided for this purpose. Since
the generation of waste is inevitable, all everis
professionals receive the necessary training.
In addition, for this same purpose, at everis
we implement numerous environmental
awareness campaigns.

Main Conclusions of the 2011-2012 Carbon
Footprint Study.
In 2013, a significant decrease in the ecological
footprint was observed related to a decrease in the
forests required to absorb the CO2 emitted.
The Ecological footprint per employee was reduced
by 28.4% in the 2013 fiscal year, as compared with
2012.
everis Spain is continually growing, and therefore
has deemed it most significant to compare the
reduction goals to intensity goals. Thus, a goal of
a 10% reduction of the relationship between overall
emissions and the invoicing volume for the next
seven years was stipulated in the previous report
(2012), using 2010 as a reference, in accordance
with worldwide goals for the reduction of emissions
in comparison with the year 2000.
Nonetheless, given the information on the significant
decrease of emissions (above 28%) resulting by the
decrease in the use of airplanes for long-distance
travel, the goals to be set should be more ambitious
as a result, setting a reduction of 50% in the same
period of time.
Measures taken up to the present have
contributed to complying with the reduction
goal.
·· Substitution of domestic flights for trips by train.
·· Energy management in the Madrid offices This
plan is expanding to the rest of offices, with
results to be posted in next year’s report.
·· Implementation of the car sharing plan, which
assumes a reduction in the number of taxis
used.
·· Extension of the useful life span of
computer equipment.
##EarthDay Recycle…Reduce…Reuse…
During this fiscal year, and motivated by Earth Day,
everis Mexico rolled out a significant awareness
campaign for all of its professionals.
110 ___ ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 SUSTAINABILITY ___ 111
Car Sharing: innovative measures that affect
all of society.
or two years, everis has had a collaboration
agreement with the company Respiro Car Sharing.
Thanks to this agreement, everis professionals
have access to a shared car service that is
intended to reduce the environmental impact of
business travel.
This system includes automatic invoicing and
immediate access to a car via smart card. Thus,
everis professionals that use these vehicles only
have to reserve one by telephone, website or
smartphone and leave directly for their business
meetings, optimizing their time and justifying costs.
The cars are available 24 hours a day and can be
reserved by the company or by an individual for
use outside of the business environment.
An average of 12 persons per month, with an
average of 4 uses each, have used this service
throughout the year. Furthermore, each use during
this fiscal year represented an average trip of
approximately 30 km.
EXCELLENCE.
At everis, we are looking for excellence in all our
departments, in our values and also in each of our
professionals. We believe that excellence not only
adds value to our efforts, but also helps us optimize
resources, improve profitability and be more
competitive.
We have a commitment to our stakeholders and,
therefore, we are committed to offering the highest
quality in each service. We therefore have a Production
department which aims to implement assets for the
improvement and development of our company.
Its key objectives can be defined as:
·· To increase excellence by improving the quality
of the product delivered to our clients.
·· Increase customer satisfaction and
market acceptance by converting quality
and productivity into a trademark that is
synonymous with everis.
·· Increase our production capacity in order to be
more profitable by achieving more competitive
prices.
In order to meet these goals, we must:
·· Increase our capacity for prevention, detection,
and action against potential problems.
·· Acquire more and better tools and be able to
improve with the changes in our production
model.
·· Support the development of professional
careers that promote excellence.

People management.
At everis, we believe that training is essential to
achieving excellence. For this reason, we have
implemented the Basis of excellence, a global
initiative, led by the production and corporate
university departments, that seeks to empower
the technical and project management skills of our
professionals.
This program, which is comprised principally of two
technological plans — java programming and .net
programming — has the main objective of being able
to restructure the everis training plans and update
their materials.
On the other hand, the corporate university
has implemented everis executive school
throughout this fiscal year (see chapter: People),
pursuing excellence in leadership. With this school,
everis intends to increase the strengths and
abilities of the management group to drive the
company to the highest level of excellence. This
school, which adapts to each person and each
geographic area, preserves our identity, our culture
and our values.
Methodologies.
COM Methodology (COrporate Methods).
This is a proprietary methodology developed
by combining experiences gained by delivering
proyects in course and avoiding problems or risks
during its execution. COM collects this knowledge
into a method that is easy to use and that offers
better solutions for our clients.
Using COM is the best way to guarantee
development of the project in terms of time,
quality and budget. One of its main objetives
is to be converted into the only methodology
in the company used to comply with the
various certifications that we now hold (namely:
ISO9001ISO20000 and CMMI).
The COM Methodology was created in alignment
with the PMBOK of the PMI ®, ITIL, Metric 3,
Prince 2 and TSP. So we could say that COM is
compatible with PMP®:
The COM methodology is coherent with our values
and with how we see consulting. It is such an easy
tool to use, as well as powerful when it comes to
coman everis initiative
Experiences
Best Practices
Capabilities
generating analytics, advance warning of risks,
and taking advantage of opportunities. COM is a
living tool that changes with every step that everis
takes, that learns every project completed by the
consultancy and that ensures that any project
completed using its methodology will comply with
all of the requirements to qualify as excellent work.
The COM Agile methodology.
Agile methods appear as alternative methodologies
to traditional management methods. Their main
characteristics are:
·· Closer collaboration with the client for the
purpose of showing it a final product every
time. This way it is possible to take the client’s
feedback into account and build in greater
flexibility.
·· Multi-disciplinary teams, always autonomous,
qualified to receive the requirements and to
transform them as quickly as possible.
·· Sharing responsibilities with the whole team,
working and thinking together, increasing quality,
productivity and motivacion.
·· Working to meet high quality standards since this
will lead to the development of a better product.
In addition, with the goal of being in alignment
with the needs of our clients and the agile trend,
at everis we have developed an extension of
our COM methodology called COM Agile. This
methodology guides us in the management and
implementation of agile projects, with a clear,
unambiguous and independent path to follow.
·· Re-engineering of COM Testing Methods:
·· A new initial phase has been included, Testing
Strategy, which emphasizes that testing is a
process to be considered from the beginning
of a project and, therefore, that it is necessary
to analyze in detail the levels and types of tests
that will be executed, and the main need they
generate (environments, teams, tools, etc.)
·· Integration with the QUARK tools suite (and
with any additional tool that is commonly used
in the testing process) in order to optimize the
process. In addition, the tools Testlink, Sonar
and Jira are pre-configured, aligning them
with COM.
·· Alignment with CMMI and with widely
accepted international standards, such as
the National Institute of Communications
Technologies (INTECO) and the International
Software Testing Qualifications Board
(ISTQB).
·· Re-engineering the COM Deployment Strategies
method which is summarized as follows:
·· An initial phase has been added that is
executed simultaneously with development,
which is a significant change that trumps
the more or less widespread belief that the
deployments begin when development is
more advanced.
·· Integration of the Quark tools suite
·· Validation and verification activities have
been included as required by CMMI and
some new techniques to aid with planning
and management of the deployments
(Quick Wins, Go-NoGo landmarks, War
Room, etc.)
·· New COM Method of AM Service Management:
·· This establishes a common framework
for management that covers the activities
related to planning, follow-up and monitoring,
that implements a program of process
improvement and that provides support for
the life cycle of service development
·· Alignment with CMMI for Services v1.3, ISO
20,000 and PCAM.
Within the strategy of the company, everis assets
has been launched, focused on the development and
installation of proprietary everis commercial products.
114 ___ ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 SUSTAINABILITY ___ 115
The COM methodology is supplemented with two new
methods:
·· COM Product Development Method, which covers
the activities of preparing a product from the
roadmap to the release of the final result.
·· COM Product Installation Method, which covers
the needs for its installation at the client site and the
processes of maintenance and later guarantees.

CERTIFICATIONS.
ISO 20000. 
everis has renewed its International ISO 20000
certification that establishes the quality level of
the services provided, systems technique and
Information Technology management (IT).
This renewal was obtained after three years of
working under the Management System for
Outsourcing Services (SGSO), the methodological
framework under the ISO 20000 standard for
certification, which includes the services provided
by the outsourcing and technology units.
SGS, worldwide corporate leader in quality
standards certification, has completed the audits
and issued its recommendation for renewal, which
will be in force for the next three years and which
will be reviewed annually. everis obtained the
certification for the first time in 2010 and since
then has worked with the Management System for
Outsourcing Services in the area of management of
technology infrastructures.
The ISO 20000 standard provides the basis
for measuring and validating the success of an
organization when implementing best practices
based on ITIL and standardized by ISO/IEC. With
this type of certification, companies verify for their
clients and shareholders the integrity and security
of their operations, implementing a dynamic of
continuous improvement in ICT services.
Furthermore, the ISO 20000 certification is a
quality seal recognized worldwide that guarantees
to everis’ clients compliance with its models and
management practices in ICT services.
ISO 27001.
everis has the ISO 27001 certification that rates
the company’s Information Security Management
System (ISMS) implemented to guarantee security
in the supply of operational and technical services
for IT systems and management. This certification
includes the services provided by the outsourcing
and consulting units.
The ISO 27001 standard provides the goals and
monitoring that must be included in the information
security management system in order to measure
and validate the success of an organization when
implementing and complying with best security
practices. This certification guarantees a continues
review of the stipulated risks and controls, and thereby,
the security of the information and services we provide.
CMMI 5 and CMMI 3.
Proof of the quality of the agile methodologies that
everis uses is the CMMI 5 certification (Capability
Maturity Model Integration) which all of our high-
performance centers have, located in Spain
(Seville, Alicante, Murcia), Chile (Temuco), Argentina
(Tucumán) and Brazil (Uberlandia). This is the highest
level of quality in the software industry, granted by
the international regulator SEI (Software Engineering
Institute), which recognizes our level of maturity and
the use of best practices in software development.
On the other hand, the Mexico office has renewed
its CMMI 3 certification. In addition, it is the first
company in Latin America to acquire this level of
certification for its IT services. Currently, only two
companies in Brazil have been certified by the
CMMI Institute in this category, with one of them
being everis.
RECOGNITION AND AWARDS.
everis, the first large consulting firm to achieve
the “Youth Enterprise and Employment Seal”.
everis is the first large Spanish consulting
company to obtain the “Youth Enterprise and
Employment Seal” that is awarded by the Ministry
of Employment and Social Security, for its work and
talent acquisition strategy.
Specifically, the public body recognized the actions
that led the company to contract, during its last
fiscal year, 1,190 persons in Spain, of which 85%
were younger than 30, with advanced studies.
The award is also due to its support of internal
entrepreneurship, since, in the last year, it created
two new companies.
everis plans to make an investment of 1.1 million
euros during 2014 to support the employment of
youth. From this investment, two thirds is intended
for the training and personalized follow-up of
more than 100 professionals without experience.
Thus, everis offers supplementary training for
new graduates who want to begin their careers in
specific technologies such as java or .net. Through
a course of five weeks and an exhaustive selection
process, everis will hire those who earn the highest
grades.
With the rest of the investment, everis will
generate a “talent pool” in Spanish universities,
especially in engineering schools. To do this, the
consulting firm will promote chairs signed with
the main schools and universities in the countries
with which it will conduct various activities,
such as awards for capstone projects or open
house days.

EUGENIO GALDÓN,
NEW PRESIDENT OF THE
EVERIS FOUNDATION.
After eight years with the everis foundation,
Eduardo Serra, who is vice-president of the everis
group and president of the Transforming Spain
foundation, has been succeeded as president
by Eugenio Galdón. The board of trustees of
the everis foundation chose him unanimously
because of his affinity for values promoted by the
organization and his career in entrepreneurship,
technology and the University.
Eugenio Galdón has developed his professional
career in the academic world, as a professor at
the Autonomous University of Madrid; in the public
sector, as head of the cabinet of President Calvo
Sotelo; and in communications media, where he
has been director of various audiovisual groups
such as the COPE Chain or the PRISA Group.
	
In 1996 he created the ONO telecom operator,
where he served as executive chairman until
late 2008 and majority shareholder up to the
present. In 2005 he led the purchase of Auna,
which merged with ONO to become the leading
telecommunications and broadband entertainment
services provider in Spain. He presently presides
over the Multitel Group, in addition to the everis
foundation.
The designation of Eugenio Galdón amounts to a
a new boost in the everis foundation mission,
a leading institution in Spain in the promotion of
scientific and technological entrepreneurship and in
the corporate support of researchers.
In this sense, Galdón will continue the work that
the everis foundation carries out in collaboration
with the universities and organizations of a
civil society that supports entrepreneurship,
entrepreneurial awards and the internationalization
of the foundation.

ENTREPRENEURS AWARD 2013.
For thirteen years, the everis foundation has
awarded the Entrepreneurs’ Award to promote
the entrepreneurial spirit and research at the
international level. In this last fiscal year, in which
270 candidates applied from countries such as
Germany, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico
and Portugal, Aisoy Robotics walked away with
the prize. This is a project that focuses on a new
generation of social robots, capable of making
decisions and of showing emotional reactions.
Furthermore, second place was awarded to Heart
Genetics, which develops an innovative diagnostic
method based on an advanced genetic analysis.
This project is aimed at supporting clinical decisions
of healthcare professionals and improving the early
detection of illnesses.
The jury for the Entrepreneurs’ Prize was directed
by Eduardo Serra, president of the everis
foundation and included Miguel Ángel Alario,
former president of the Royal Academy of Exact,
Physical and Natural Sciences; Blas Calzada
Terrados, former president of the National Stock
Market Commission and of La Salle Innovation
Park; Begoña Cristeto, CEO of Enisa (National
Innovation Company); Montserrat Mateos, editor
and coordinator of Entrepreneurs and Employment
for the newspaper Expansión; and Iñaki Ortega,
executive director of the Madrid Emprende Agency
for Economic Development.
CALL FOR THE 2014
ENTREPRENEURS PRIZE. 
The everis foundation opened the period for
the submission of projects for the XIII Meeting of
its Entrepreneurs’ Prize that, for yet another year,
executed its goal to encourage innovation and
research in support of entrepreneurship, with a prize
of 60,000 euros for the winner and of 40,000 euros
for runner-up, if any.
In this edition, with the intention of giving it
continuity throughout the year, of lending more
prestige to the prize and so that the selection
process may serve as means for gaining visibility for
the foundation, the methodology has changed to
include some new aspects.
The first of these is the existence of three categories
for participating in the prize, which are:
·· Biotechnology and Health.
·· Information Technology and the Digital Economy
·· Industrial and energy technologies.
Using an exhaustive study of all candidates, in
which the level of innovation, the business model
and the solution proposed by each project will
be evaluated, the everis foundation will call
two evaluation events. For these, each selected
entrepreneur will present its project to the other
participants and to a group of experts trained
by everis executives and its clients, with broad
experience in the creation of companies.
A finalist for each category will be chosen at these
events, who will receive a package of services from
the everis foundation technology broker, i-deals,
valued at 5,000 euros, the purpose of which is to
assist the entrepreneur in developing and improving
the project. Through this “mentoring” process, the
everis foundation jury will select a finalist and a
possible second place awardee, in case there is a
project meriting that award.

IBERO-AMERICAN AWARDS
FOR INNOVATION AND
ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
The everis foundation collaborates with the Ibero-
American Secretary General (SEBIB), in the role of
national partner and sponsoring partner, to organize
the Ibero-American Awards for Innovation and
Entrepreneurship. The main objective is to support
the development and implementation of projects
and companies who win the contest. In the 2010,
2011 and 2013 editions, the winning projects of the
Entrepreneurs’ Prizes also won the Ibero-American
Prize.
FOUNDATION INITIATIVES.
I-deals.
i-deals was born four years ago from the everis
foundation as a pioneering model of “technology
brokering.” Its main objectives include identifying
opportunities of high technological complexity and
making them aware of the market. Definitively,
this deals with the assessment of technological
innovations to support both their commercialization as
well as their financing.
In accordance with the joint collaboration between
i-deals and the foundation, we have served as
the middleman to link the academic and scientific
communities with the business community and
ensure a better relationship between them. Thus,
throughout this fiscal year, we have completed
projects with major organizations such as the
Instituto Superior Técnico (IST-U of Lisbon), the
Polytechnic of Milan, ICAI (University of Comillas)
and various start-ups such as BitBrain, Deutecno-
Vortex and others.
Due to all of this, the everis foundation continues
part of its foundation work in support of the
university of entrepreneurship and technological
commercialization through i-deals.
Transforming Spain and Transforming Talent.
In 2010, the foundation started, through the
everis innovation team, led by Marc Alba, the
Transforming Spain initiative. A non-profit and
non-partisan movement, it aims at contributing —
through the Civil Society — to changing the crisis
in Spain into an opportunity for transformation.
At the end of 2010, the Transforming Spain
report “A key moment of opportunity to build the
admired Spain of the future” was published, with
the support of one hundred social and business
personalities from Spanish society.
Like Transforming Spain, Transforming Talent
was born in 2012 for the purpose of driving
change in society. In this case, the focus is on the
academic world, subject to a talent drain.
Currently, these initiatives are protected by the
Transforming Spain foundation, led by Eduardo
Serra, which is aimed at setting a point of departure
that converts Spain into a reference protagonist with
a future that is both passionate and competitive
and demanding. The purpose of the foundation is
to coordinate the strengths of all the stakeholders
by contributing ideas, sharing points of view and
discussing focuses for formulating action proposals.
These proposals will take shape in awareness-raising
initiatives formulated by and with Spanish civil society.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
Fiscal 2013 has been a year of essential changes
for the everis group, both from a corporate point
of view and from a financial point of view, as can
be seen from the morphology of the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the group for March 31,
2014.
During fiscal 2013, the NTT group became the sole
shareholder of the everis group, which caused
change not only in the capital structure but also
in the morphology of the financial structure of the
Group.
As a result of the integration of everis into NTT,
the company was able to cancel its structural debt
early, which consisted in syndicated financing, the
obligations and limitations of which had been met
rigorously by everis.
Furthermore, the company has undertaken a
project to redefine its financial structure in order
to achieve efficiency in terms of financial cost and
agility in each one of the geographic areas where it
does business. This project assumes the reduction
and concentration of financing lines for current
assets and their substitution by financing by the
parent company, under more favorable conditions
than those current in the market.
In addition, the group has launched its new
Strategic Plan, with a time scope that reaches to
2017, the action levers and objectives of which will
be accompanied by a stronger financial structure
that will enable the achievement of said objectives
within the duration of the Plan.
AUDIT REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Sole Shareholder of Everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder Company):
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder
Company) (the Parent Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the
consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014, the consolidated income statement, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cash flow statement, and the
notes thereto for the year then ended. The Parent Company’s directors are responsible for
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the regulatory
framework for financial information applicable to the entity in Spain (identified in Note 2 to
the accompanying financial statements), and specifically in accordance with the applicable
accounting principles and criteria contained therein. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the aforementioned consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, based
upon work performed in accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain, which require
the examination, through the performance of selective tests, of the evidence supporting
the consolidated financial statements, and the evaluation of whether their presentation, the
accounting principles and criteria applied and the estimates made are in agreement with the
applicable regulatory framework for financial information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended
March 31, 2014 give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the consolidated equity and
consolidated financial position of Everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder Company) and subsidiaries
at March 31, 2014, and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flow for
the year ended, in conformity with the applicable regulatory framework for financial information in
Spain, and specifically the accounting principles and criteria contained therein.
The accompanying consolidated management report for the financial year ended March 31,
2014 contains such explanations as the directors of the Parent Company consider appropriate
concerning the situation of the Group, the evolution of its business and other matters; however,
it is not an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. We have checked that the
accounting information included in the aforementioned consolidated management report
agrees with the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2014.
Our work as auditors is limited to verifying the consolidated management report in accordance
with the scope mentioned in this paragraph, and does not include the review of information
other than that obtained from the accounting records of everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder
Company) and its subsidiaries.

This report is addressed to both the stakeholders
(current and former partners and employees,
current and potential clients, suppliers and
universities) and to any person or group that may
be interested in our company. In fact, since this is a
public report, it is available both on the internet and

We have tried to clearly and concisely reflect the
corporate activities of the last fiscal year in terms of
business, the environment and financial figures.
For measurement of the indicators, the Guide for
preparation of sustainability reports version 3.1 has
been used and the report achieves the GRI level
of A+ in the Global Reporting Initiative.

Participation of stakeholders.
everis has identified its major stakeholders, taking
into consideration those who have influence over
the company's activities and those who are affected
by them.
A fundamental part of the materiality study carried
out was consultation with stakeholders, using
interviews to assess their main concerns. The
objective is, among others, to identify the risks
and objectives of our company on the subject of
sustainability, in terms of the consultancy sector.
Sustainability context.

topics covered in the report are presented to
position the company management with regard to
the relevant indicators.
Completeness.

REPORT PREPARATION PROCESS.
In order to define the content of this corporate
report, the valuations of the various heads of the
companies have been analyzed that are directly
related to our stakeholders as well as the opinions
of both our internal stakeholders (employees) and
external ones (suppliers, clients, university.)
The issues and questions concerning sustainable
development that are important and relevant
to everis have been considered in the report to
provide a complete, balanced overview, adapted
to the needs and interests of our most important
stakeholders. To determine what issues or topics
are important, we have considered:
·· In determining the content to be covered in
the report we considered the priorities of our
stakeholders. To this end, we launched a survey
to assess priorities and the materiality of the
content.
·· Significant risks that may affect the company’s
operations and business.
·· Contribution to the improvement or worsening
of the social, environmental and economic
consequences of our activity.
Analysis of surveys.
The materiality survey, based on recommendations
in the "Engagement with Stakeholders" manual,
AccountAbility (2006), and the changes introduced
in the 2011 draft, has allowed stakeholders’
priorities to be analyzed in relation to the rating
thereof by people in decision-making positions
within the group.
The following table shows the results of the analysis
of the surveys answered by the various groups. A
rating scale with five degrees of importance has
been devised and applied to the corresponding
themes to set priorities within each group.

152 ___ ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 REPORT COVERAGE AND INDICATORS ___ 153
In order to produce this report, the following steps
have been taken:
1.	Meetings with each everis department head
who has any kind of direct relationship with our
stakeholders.
2.	Summary of the corporate actions and initiatives
taken throughout this fiscal year on corporate,
economic or environmental issues.
3.	Collection of information on actions completed
with and for our stakeholders.
4.	Request of the GRI indicators from the internal
department heads in each of the subjects to be
covered.
5.	Writing the report.
6.	Submission of the report to each everis
department head to verify the collected content.
At everis, we identify and understand that
sustainability is one of our corporate values
(discerning generosity, responsible freedom and
creative energy.) Coherence and transparency are
keys to our mission and vision with each of the
stakeholders with whom we work, above all in order
to determine our risks and our opportunities for
improvement.
In everything, we seek to improve and strengthen
our relationships with our stakeholders through
open bilateral communication and to establish the
preparation of a complete study of the committed
materiality with sustainable development.
In addition, thanks to our company’s new stage with
NTT DATA, we find ourselves with new horizons
that strengthen and integrate the sustainability of
our business model.
Board processes to assess the organization’s
performance in terms of sustainability.
The Board of Directors, in the exercise of its
duties of governance and direction, takes into
consideration the guidelines and directives of
corporate governance based both on the applicable
standards, such as the codes and standards of
the market on the subject, plus the experience
and knowledge of its members, for the purpose
of driving optimal administration, supervision
and monitoring of corporate management, in
consideration of the same.
Thus, monthly monitoring is carried out of the
group activities on the subjects of People (Human
Resources), Production (quality control, profitability
and delivery), International, Regional and Local
Business Operations, as well as analysis of the
financial situation.
Thus, the diversity and experience derived from
the composition of the Board enables the analysis
of management information from the standpoint
of economic viability (corporate profitability
and growth) as well as social responsibility (to
employees, clients and other stakeholders),
facilitating those instructions or making the
decisions that enable the framing of a strategy
that takes such guidelines and directives into
account.
Additionally, as a corporate guideline, in its meetings
it executes monitoring through monographic
subjects, of the various aspects related to each of
the subjects mentioned, through their presentation
by an executive or third party (auditors, advisors,
collaborators, etc.), who gives his/her criteria for
group performance on the related topic, in order
to continue the corresponding debate among the
members of the Board.
Finally, through the operating of its Commissions
on Appointments and Remunerations, as well as
Auditing and Compliance, jointly with work by the
Advisory Council on People and Positioning and
Commercial Business Strategy, guidelines are
created and follow-up/monitoring is conducted,
to give a strategic orientation that incorporates
these guidelines and directives with leadership and
corporate social responsibility into the business
activities of the Group.
Sustainability assessment of the Board itself.
The Board of Directors, following the provisions
established by the Commission on Appointments
and Remunerations, periodically issues an
evaluation of the Board itself and on the other
hand, of its own members, led and managed by a
specialized consultancy (Spencer Stuart).
Among the aspects that that are analyzed and
evaluated with regard to Board activity and
involvement in operations, the Board has dealt with
and commented on aspects related to behaviors,
practices and standards of governability and criteria
for the administration of resources/employability
practices, and the consideration of the various
stakeholder interests. Other issues dealt with
include transparency in information regarding
services and activities, business relations and
practices with suppliers and business partners, or
the financial return on investment and protection of
the company’s assets, as well as the promotion of
the relationships in each country where the Group is
established, in the local context and culture.

Becoming part of NTT DATA provides us with another dimension, greater financial capacity, technical capabilities, technologies, staff all around the world, and the potential of developing more complex and groundbreaking transformative projects with our clients, all with a team of 70,000 professionals in more than 40 countries.

The audit and compliance committee is involved in the following responsibilities: ·· Reviewing the company's and consolidated group's annual financial statements prior to their approval by the Board, monitoring strict compliance with legal requirements and the correct application of generally accepted accounting principles, as well as reporting, where applicable, any proposed changes to accounting principles and criteria suggested by management. ·· Acting as a communication channel between the Board and the external auditors of the company. ·· Supervising and controlling the operation of internal auditing services as well as the operation of company services responsible for control and risk prevention and corporate compliance control of all applicable standards (corporate compliance). ·· Establishing and supervising internal mechanisms that allow employees to communicate any irregularities or potentially significant contingencies confidentially and anonymously, if considered appropriate.

In particular, it channels all questions and concerns that the external directors convey to the chairman or to the Board of Directors, assisting and working with the chairman to compare and agree on issues to be discussed, suggesting the inclusion of new items on the agenda, when appropriate, as well as directing the evaluation of the chairman or other Board members. Additionally, the everis Group compensation model links management's compensation to the company’s optimal performance over the short, medium and long terms. Variable compensation is conditional to the achievement of certain operating results measured at a Group level on a quarterly and annual basis, true to its principle of discerning generosity. Likewise, the current long-term incentive plan, as configured through the Commitment and Retention Plan (CRP) agreed with the parent company of NTT DATA Inc., also links the accrual and payment of benefits to managers and employees with the achievement of certain operating results during the three fiscal years during which the plan has been implemented.

    30 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 OUR ACTIVITY ___ 31 OUR COMMITMENT TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP. At everis we wish to serve as a kind of platform to launch new ideas and businesses, which is why we continue to support the entrepreneurial spirit. To this end, we combine our technological capacity with the talent and experience of our professionals. But our commitment to entrepreneurship is not only internal. We also promote this spirit through the everis Foundation and through our relations with knowledge institutions and technological incubators. everisDigital. Proof of this is everisDigital, an area within the company that identifies startups with stand-out technologies in web, cloud computing or IT/ communications, and accelerates their growth by overcoming the potential risks they may encounter. everisDigital studies the startups' ideas, business models and potential market, so as to provide advice on their projects and to develop their talent with full autonomy and the support of everis. During the past year, everisDigital has launched various initiatives aimed at finding new startups that have a solid technological component, are commercially viable and incorporate a high level of innovation. Two such initiatives stand out: 1. speedDating: held once every other month, this has become the star event in the innovation area. During the event, entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to investors and everis partners in a quick and efficient way through four-minute meetings. 2. Pitch2Market: using the "elevator pitch" format imported from the Silicon Valley, various startups present their value proposals to investors and everis partners in just six minutes. They then have four minutes to answer questions from the panel. Both events are highly productive, bringing together the best talent in business with the best talent in entrepreneurship in order to share ideas, create disruption and fuel inspiration. Silicon Valley in Spain. In addition to everisDigital, at everis we have implemented a number of initiatives relating to enterprise and innovation. Our goal is to think big and overcome bigger challenges. This is why everis signed a partnership agreement with Founder Institute, the largest idea-phase project incubator in the world, in order to import the Silicon Valley model to Spain and help entrepreneurs create technology companies that can last over time. everis participates in the development and monitoring of Founder Institute projects, which include the participation of mentors such as Fernando Francés, president of everis, and Ángel Gutiérrez Borjabad, Innovation partner. Through this initiative, both directors will sponsor the best B2B project to come forward in the current edition of the Founder Institute in Spain, to provide advice and support in their growth plan from the everisDigital area. The model of this business incubator is based on a methodology that focuses on the mentoring of various groups of entrepreneurs, who are given exhaustive support and follow-up. A group of executives with experience in creating companies accompany program participants and offer support and advice to help them avoid mistakes and leverage the strongest points of their ideas. "FOR EVERIS, IT IS AN OBLIGATION TO PAY BACK TO SOCIETY EVERYTHING THAT IT HAS GIVEN US. SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO WE EMERGED AS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL PROJECT, JUST LIKE THOSE WHICH FOUNDER INSTITUTE IS SUPPORTING. AND TODAY, THANKS TO THE FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE BELIEVED IN OUR PROJECT, WE ARE A MULTINATIONAL GROUP THAT OFFERS INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE SOLUTIONS TO SOCIETY THROUGH THE WORK THAT WE DO WITH OUR CLIENTS.".

    32 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 OUR ACTIVITY ___ 33 INITIATIVES, NEW BUSINESSES IN NEW MARKETS. Our society is one in which global challenges continue to grow. At everis we remain optimistic, and we are increasingly aggressive in our expansion strategy. This is why we seek to get ahead of the market, and to address its various needs. In this way, and in addition to our traditional consulting, we leverage internal talent to analyze areas of future growth, launching new companies that can become a profitable business. During the past fiscal year we launched two new businesses: Xtend, which is a learning and content technology platform for schools, and nettit, a debt settling system so that companies can settle payments and debts through a virtual network. Xtend. This initiative came about through collaboration between the everis group and Cospa&Agilmic (Educaria group). The project offers a social learning environment so students can receive customized education through an environment that encourages their active participation. Xtend is a unique product which creates a comprehensive environment in which children create and teachers share, while it is the students who take the reins of their own learning. It involves a customized learning platform in which students create their own curriculum and where the system brings intelligence to decision-making through the students’ own knowledge. The system is based on three pillars: a customized learning platform, open content and a social faculty website. Xtend likewise provides comprehensive service to its clients, supplemented with integration, support and implementation services for mobile devices, faculty training, IT management and hosting. nettit. This is a platform created for companies to connect with one another and settle their billing. nettit makes a tool which has for some time been exclusively available to large corporate groups accessible to all Spanish businesses. This service allows businesses to "net" (settle) the accounts that the user companies enter, analyzing them weekly with a powerful algorithm, which optimizes debt flows. nettit uses both the multilateral settlement system as well as the indirect payment system whereby, applying timely payments, the results from settled accounts are multiplied. And it does it all with absolute confidentiality. The benefits that this platform offers companies on the network are very significant, such as reducing collection risks, improving financial ratios, decreasing financial and administration costs, and even increased borrowing capacity achieved by reducing the need to finance client balances. fitalent. A venture capital fund, registered with the CNMV, which invests in innovative technology companies during launch stage, located in Spain, through joint investments with other funds. During the past fiscal year, fitalent has invested in new companies whose business is based on scientific research: ·· Adhbio: a biotech company that produces bioadhesives, biocompatible liquid glues which offer an alternative to traditional methods of wound closure, like sutures (traditional stitches), staples, and bandages. fitalent has invested 250,000 euros. ·· Signadyne: fitalent and the venture capital manager of La Caixa, Caixa Capital Risc, have invested 300,000 euros in Signadyne. Signadyne is a company that develops a technology to conduct testing, measurement and control of electronic equipment. The company is a spin-off of the Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO). ·· Palobiofarma: this is a laboratory that researches and develops new drugs aimed at improving quality of life in people who suffer from neurodegenerative and respiratory illnesses. In this case, the venture capital fund of everis, fitalent, and Inveready Seed Capital have invested one million euros in the biotech company Palobiofarma.

    34 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 OUR ACTIVITY ___ 35 everis Aerospace, Defense and Security. EThis company, which offers solutions for implementation of critical systems in the areas of defense, aeronautics, space, and security, has consolidated its strategy as an SME engine in its sector. The main objective of everis Aerospace, Defense and Security is to generate an ecosystem of small and medium-sized enterprises where they can all work in a connected way with strong ties to everis: Ibetor, Herta Security, NTGS, Quatripole, SCR, Embention, Evercare, ISID, Toro and Simumak. We hold a minority stake in these companies (rather than buying them outright) in order to maintain that same entrepreneurial spirit with which they came to be, and so they can leverage the knowledge of international markets and the network of clients of the everis group. During the past year, everis Aerospace, Defense and Security, together with NTGS and Simumak, have begun manufacture of 20 driving simulators daily, which will be sent to Brazil. There has also been interest in other countries in Latin America and the Middle East, where performing a test using these devices is not mandatory for obtaining a driver's license. The manufacture of these simulators generates more than one hundred jobs directly linked to the production of innovative solutions, as well as four hundred jobs indirectly created throughout the value chain, ranging from logistics and shipping to assembly and packaging. Likewise, the State Agency of Air Safety (AESA, in Spanish) has, for the first time in Spain, granted a Type Certificate for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for civilian use. The partnership between everis Aerospace, Defense and Security with its partner Softwcare has ensured the successful completion of this certification process, thanks to a working methodology which ranges from the development of a certification scheme to the preparation of documentation and evidence showing compliance with civil legislation. Based on the success of this project, a joint venture, called EVERCARE, has been created between the two companies. It specializes in providing certification services and software qualification in critical systems in the automotive, aerospace and defense industries. OTHER COMPANIES. In addition to Xtend, nettit, fitalent and everis Aerospace and Defense, the everis group has the following companies: ameu8.

EVERIS BECOMES ESTABLISHED IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR. During the past fiscal year, at everis we have put forward groundbreaking projects in the healthcare sector, such as MEAL and Tereha. The first, financed by the European Commission, seeks to remedy poor diet and obesity in children using an educational approach that involves teachers, students and nutritional experts. The second project is a tool that stands out as a real milestone, as it notably improves motor and comprehensive capabilities in patients with brain damage. During recent months we have strengthened our presence in the healthcare and social services industries thanks to our everis health unit. These efforts have not been in vain, as this year everis was recognized as Company of the Year in the IT Health sector in Latin America by Frost & Sullivan (see chapter: Sustainability). This award especially values the suite of ehCOS® products developed by everis health. This technology, which recently obtained the Oracle certification, allows hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare institutions to become fully digitalized. Another milestone for everis in the healthcare sector this past year was its collaboration with the Government of Navarra to develop a new care model for patients with multiple chronic illnesses, aimed at providing comprehensive and integrated care. This plan, which contributes to the sustainability of the healthcare system, customizes care for these patients, which comprise 17.3% of the population, and more than 50% of people over the age of 80. In addition, and also with funding from the European Commission, we have the development in Spain of the Decide-IT serious game. This is a simulator used to train business leaders and executives on potential crisis situations with significant stressors. This project, which falls within the innovation area, is useful in simulating the problems faced by businesses from small startups to large multinationals.

    38 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 OUR ACTIVITY ___ 39 COMMITMENT TO THE SMART WORLD. Two of the objectives of so-called "smartcities" are to integrate the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in society and to generate more sustainable urban spaces. This a highly complex system in which cities adapt to the needs of their residents, thanks to more interactive and efficient services and applications. everis, as a company committed to its community and environment, has joined the effort to create smart cities through a number of initiatives. These initiatives include our report titled "everiSmart: a pragmatic but exciting vision of the Smart world". In this study, we found that representatives from the ICT sector in Spain believe it is necessary to create an open collaboration model for participation by government bodies, private entities, and mixed enterprise, aimed at encouraging the development of the Smart world, one in which technology startups will play an essential role. The study was conducted on the basis of interviews with 38 important figures from civil society who are engaged with the ICT sector, and it found that telecommunications companies should not only focus their products and services around connectivity, but must also leverage the good relations they enjoy with their customers to generate value in the huge amount of data that they handle. The everiSmart report also analyzes the role of energy companies. They must also improve their business processes, as they are able to detect problems in the Smart Grid to get ahead of these issues and offer solutions. Likewise, utilities companies have the advantage of understanding behavioral patterns of the people who comprise smart cities, allowing them to provide a better service offering that integrates value proposals from all sectors involved in the Smart world. everismart Pragmatic but exciting view of the Smart world major players have their say First report: overview of the current situation and future key points OUR STUDIES. In addition to the Smartcities report, this year everis has also developed a report with the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) titled "Creating companies in university environments". This report was prepared by the Technologies for Business Management Group (TIGE, in Spanish) and the Program to Create University Companies of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, in collaboration with the everis Telecommunications Professorship of the Polytechnic University of Madrid. The study analyzes the entrepreneurial capacity of universities and is based primarily on three blocks: the university itself, knowledge transfer entities and the companies created at the university. The UPM has implemented a comprehensive policy to encourage entrepreneurial activity, seeking to interconnect infrastructure, personnel and knowledge through formal and informal structures aimed at transferring knowledge. As an example of this activity, the study focuses on six of the companies created at the UPM, analyzing the main factors for success. Ángel Fco.

    40 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 OUR ACTIVITY ___ 41 Careers in science, technology and mathematics. At everis, our desire to encourage careers in science and technology and to promote innovative talent constitutes one of the main focuses of our Corporate Social Responsibility policy. Since 2008, we have conducted numerous studies and projects related to the study and promotion of careers in technology. During the past fiscal year, we conducted a study called Factors of Influence in Choosing to Study Science, Technology, and Mathematics. Why are there fewer and fewer young scientists, mathematicians and engineers? What factors influence what people choose to study? How can we encourage people to choose these careers? everis, together with the consultant e-motiva, and in collaboration with the Generalitat of Catalonia, has strived to answer this question through a study which included participation of more than 4,700 high school students from various schools around Catalonia. Unlike most approaches to the issue, this study surveyed the protagonists of the problem — young people — directly. The study seeks to understand the major variables affecting the lack of science, technology and mathematics (STM) students, defining the key elements in students' choice of academic training and professional careers. One of the conclusions worth highlighting is that the main reason why young people shy away from these studies is the so-called Pygmalion effect. They perceive these careers to be difficult pursuits and see themselves as not having what it takes, especially girls and students from the low end of the socioeconomic spectrum. Con la colaboración de Factores influyentes en la elección de estudios científicos, tecnológicos y matemáticos. Visión de los estudiantes de 3º y 4º de ESO y Bachillerato Noa & Max: Trapped in Electronia animated series. Together with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), we created Noa & Max: Trapped in Electronia, an animated series that seeks to encourage innovative talent, learning, and creativity in the ICT field among young people. The series, which receives funding from the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT, in Spanish), a public foundation under the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, is aimed at young people ages 10 to 14, and includes four three-minute pilot episodes that can be viewed on the internet (www.noamax.tv). Noa and Max, the sibling protagonists, must use their knowledge of science and technology to get out of the videogame Electronia where they are stuck. The plot, which introduces small science and technology challenges, seeks to improve perceptions among young people of their own ability to understand and study scientific and technological phenomena, as well as to encourage their creativity and innovative talent. The design and creation of the series is backed by the conclusions made in a study conducted by everis on the factors influencing students' decision with regards to their studies, a study conducted with nearly 5,000 high school students. The series is aimed at young people in this age range, because based on the study, at this age there is still time to act, as decisions have not yet been made. The Noa & Max series has two portals. Firstly there is the institutional portal, aimed at an adult audience (www.noamaxproject.com) (teachers, parents, animation professionals, companies and institutions), which offers information on the educational project behind Noa & Max. Then there is the youth portal (www.noamax.tv), which targets a younger audience, and where in addition to the series episodes visitors can download additional materials and content (see chapter: Sustainability).

We seek consistency, we know who we want to be, and we ensure that our actions are consistent with the corporate values of everis. This consistency is sought in three essential aspects: in our personal interactions, in our processes and in our strategy. ·· Personal consistency. We have identified consistent and inconsistent behaviors in ourselves. We have defined as an organization what types of behaviors are expected from us based on our roles. In addition, these efforts are evaluated and developed. ·· Consistency in processes. We ensure that the organization's processes are in keeping with our values and that the processes themselves encourage alignment with these values. For this reason, we have aligned both people management and business processes in keeping with these values. ·· Consistency in strategy We seek to ensure that strategic decisions are linked to our values. In order to achieve our ideal culture as a company, we promote transformational projects and maintain our values-based leadership in our strategic plan, heading to 17, which is currently being developed and will be included in the next corporate report. • We take responsibility for our decisions. • We fully understand what we do. • We respect each other´s autonomy. • We are passionate in becoming the best in what we do. • We do and make things differently, we don’t settle for less. • We overcome impossible challenges with a positive attitude.

    68 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 PEOPLE ___ 69 Prevention. The Occupational Hazards area ensures the health of our professionals. To this end, everis has implemented countless initiatives to advocate for general wellbeing. Some such measures include, for example in the case of our Spain offices: ·· Periodic medical checkups. ·· Visual and dental health campaigns. ·· Specialized training on emergencies and evacuations. ·· Specific first aid training. ·· CPR training. ·· Breastfeeding room. During the past fiscal year, the data on everis Spain are as follows: ·· Accidents at work that result in sick leave (excluding relapse): 10. ·· Relapses of accidents at work: 1. ·· Accidents at work that do not result in sick leave: 18. ·· Occupational diseases: 0 . ·· Days of leave from accidents at work: 282. Because the laws on occupational hazards vary by country, the criteria we present below differ at each office: At everis México: ·· Disabilities/leave: 52. ·· General illness: 40. ·· Accident at work or during commute: 1. ·· Maternity: 11. Likewise, countless measures are implemented at our Mexican offices regarding occupational hazards and health-related issues. First aid courses, medical insurance and agreements, and health programs constitute some such measures. In addition, an annual Health Week is organized offering information and promotions of all kinds for the professionals at everis Mexico. Our offices in Colombia have not reported any leave or work-related accident during the past year. Management of occupational hazards at our Colombian offices is based on the implementation and execution of the entire occupational health and safety and environmental management system. I'm attaching the timeline for each of the activities. In Peru, medical leave, stipulated by case, is as follows: ·· Disease: 292. ·· Common accident: 18. ·· Work-related accident: 0. The following are examples of actions on occupational health and hazards conducted in Peru during the past year: ·· Preparation of occupational health and safety regulations. ·· Joint committee on occupational health and safety at each entity. ·· Training plan on issues of occupational health and safety. ·· Occupational medical exams. The data from the Brazilian office are as follows: ·· Total disabilities: 63. ·· Maternity: 35. ·· General illness: 22. ·· Accident at work or during commute: 6.

Likewise, every month they send a clipping on general wellbeing. Additionally, they have a card for purchasing medications, and pregnant women and professionals with chronic diseases receive discounts on medical treatments. everflex. Launched in 2010, this is a platform where everis professionals can purchase certain products and services with tax benefits (such as computer equipment, medical insurance, daycare, transport coupons, etc.) allowing them to get returns on their gross compensation. everbuy.

All of our professionals receive a wide range of social and personal benefits. Medical insurance, economic assistance for food, life and accident insurance, flexible compensation, corporate American Express accounts, and scheduling flexibility are just some of these benefits. The program to improve human resources policy at everis, Living everis (the compensation and benefits area in Spain) includes My compensation, which is an initiative to optimize total compensation of employees.

    72 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 PEOPLE ___ 73 Adecco Foundation. In February 2013, everis signed a collaboration agreement with the Adecco Foundation. This agreement, which reflects the commitment of both parties to encourage social and occupational integration of people with disabilities, has resulted in the following initiatives: Diversity Plan: identification and awareness. This program aims to normalize interaction with people with disabilities and manage diversity at the everis workplace through social responsibility policies. This program has also enjoyed the direct involvement of various everis employees with disabilities. Also included in this program are activities for job placement and creation for people with disabilities so they can achieve employment that is sustainable over time. The actions implemented include: ·· Internal communication plan for everis professionals in Spain. ·· Training sessions for all levels to build awareness and understanding regarding the diversity plan. ·· Awareness sessions with disabled people who present an outstanding example in their lives. ·· Training assistance (incorporation of disabled people). ·· Encouraging volunteer activities. ·· Advisory program for employees eligible to receive a certificate of disability. ·· Integration and adaptation of hiring processes in order to encourage equal opportunities for people with disabilities. Another of the initiatives carried out this past year was a visit to everis by the swimmer Teresa Perales. Teresa is a paralympic athlete who made a presentation called "My Life on Wheels”. She spoke of her motivation to excel and beat records, thus raising awareness about how disability is overcome. Candidate search. Activities for job placement and creation for disabled university students have been conducted, supported by training aimed at obtaining employment which is sustainable over time. Through its relations with universities, the Adecco Foundation has acted as an intermediary between candidates and everis, assessing whether or not the candidate is right for the job. The Adecco Foundation has at all times maintained an active search to identify disabled candidates who may be a good fit for everis. To date, the demand in this area of all companies from the everis Group has not yet been fully met. Collaboration in selection processes. During this past year, we enjoyed the collaboration of the Adecco Foundation in helping reorient our selection processes. The everis recruitment team has received training to take into consideration the special circumstances that may arise during interviews to hire individuals with disabilities. Likewise, we have also received support from foundation staff to find candidates for hire, and in some cases this staff conducted early interviews to provide us with a detailed report on the candidate's integration. Publication of offers in public job placement services We publish job offers for various offices in order to leverage the database that the government provides for us. Disability Fair. In November 2013, we participated in the 7th Job Fair for People with Disabilities in the Community of Madrid. This job fair is one of the most successful in terms of attendance. During our participation, we responded to job applications from more than 200 candidates. Unfortunately, most offered skills and occupational abilities that are not used in everis businesses. Selection processes. 33% of selection processes conducted with disabled candidates have given satisfactory results, resulting in direct hires by the company. Given that in normal selection processes our hiring ratio is just 10%, this indicator demonstrates both the interest of everis in hiring these individuals, as well as the work conducted prior to adjust the search to the disabled person (and not the other way around).

    76 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 PEOPLE ___ 77 Coach Project of the Exit Foundation. Nine volunteers from everis Barcelona and Madrid have participated in the Coach Project of the Exit Foundation, a professional skill-building program that works on behalf of the professional integration of young people at risk of social exclusion through training projects. Volunteers serve as coaches, offering guidance and motivation for these young peoples' professional futures, listening to them and encouraging them to overcome their limitations, supporting them in their decisions, and explaining business operations and language to them. The volunteers become role models for these young people, and they work with them through the use of coaching and mentoring tools. During the three months the project lasted, the everis professionals not only had the opportunity to meet with these young people, but they also invited them to visit the everis offices to see some of the departments that most interest them and get to know the real world of business. CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN. At everis we have always been committed to society, particularly those who are most in need. For this reason, every year we collaborate during the months of December and January to collect food and toys through different social organizations. The everis Barcelona office joined the Gran Recapte food drive organized by Banc dels Aliments (local Food Bank). This initiative helped to fill more than forty boxes (more than 880 pounds) of food, exceeding the 550 pounds collected last year. The everis Madrid office collected more than 1,100 pounds of nonperishable food for the Banco de Alimentos and Achalay, the latter of which was also supported, in collaboration with CEPA, to collect toys for children. In addition, as in other years, we placed the tree of solidarity and decals in the ground floor windows with the amount of food that we had collected. All of the decals include the words: Merry Christmas. This Christmas the everis Murcia, Alicante, Valencia, and Seville offices joined in support of the Real Three Kings project that offers the opportunity to become a "King" for children with limited resources or at risk of exclusion. Thanks to the donations of everis professionals, the "Kings" arrived at four shelters, delivering all the presents. In Peru more than 120 children at risk of social exclusion from the Oasis Manchay shelter were sponsored. This organization is dedicated to providing social support for families with limited economic means through a variety of actions, such as micro-business workshops for parents and schools for children. In addition, the children received presents, hot chocolate and a clown show from everis professionals. EVERIS COLLABORATES WITH FOOD AND TOYS FOR THE NEEDY. The office in Brazil implemented various campaigns with the Gotas de Flor com Amor Institution. Firstly, thanks to everis kids, they collected more than one hundred toys which were sent to children and adolescents from families with limited or no income. Also, with the help of everfootball, they collected a total of 50 Christmas baskets as well as 330 pounds of paper that were donated to be recycled and transformed into handcrafted products for sale. This year's Christmas Campaign in Colombia was undertaken in collaboration with the Laetitia Foundation. In this campaign, everis professionals were able to make an economic contribution and deliver presents to children in this foundation. Meanwhile, everis Mexico launched the Santa Recluta campaign. The main objective was to bring together 70 employees to bring smiles to each of the children at the Temporary Shelter in Mexico City through the letters they had written to Santa Claus. Together with all of these initiatives, the #oneword campaign was also carried out, closely linked to the important moment in the company's history: its merger with NTT DATA. The main objective was to determine a concept that we would carry with us throughout the year in 2014. To this end, using all the company's internal channels, a campaign was implemented for all everis professionals to take a photograph with the word they wanted to stay with them through the new year. The result was a Christmas video with all the terms proposed by these professionals. Perquè a everis sabem donar bones notícies. Ajudem així els que més ho necessiten.

    78 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 PEOPLE ___ 79 Caps for a new life. At everis we continued another year with the “Caps to save lives” campaign. This is an initiative which we conduct with the Seur Foundation to help sick children with no economic resources. To this end, every week we collect pounds of plastic caps at the different everis offices. Every ton of plastic can sell for up to 300 euros, which are used entirely to fund operations or treatments for various kinds of diseases. Likewise, in Colombia a soda cap campaign is carried out for the Sanar Foundation to contribute to the treatment of more than 500 children suffering from cancer in Colombia. Other social actions. At our offices in Colombia every year a recycling campaign is conducted to later make donations to the Burn Foundation. This organization rehabilitates people who suffer traumas due to burns, collecting all kinds of recycled materials to be processed accordingly. The members of evervolunteer in Peru collaborate selflessly with various associations that help sick children with no economic resources. Actions from this past year included support for the Children's Hospital, helping 40 children hospitalized for various illnesses, from pneumonia to heart problems. They also collaborated in the donation of food for the children from the White Cross summer camp. In Italy, professionals collaborated with Prospera (PRogetto SPERAnza). This is a volunteer association with more than 1,000 members that help young people to integrate in the world of work. Lastly, coinciding with International Internet Day, the forum "For a Safer Web" (#x1redmassegura) was created to promote safe and reliable internet use. The main objective is to inform all users, regardless of technical knowledge in computers, about the appropriate and responsible use of all resources available on the internet. Through this action we seek to raise awareness and help education people to prevent users from becoming victims of abuse, scams, harassment, grooming, and a host of other risks. SPORTS AND HEALTHY LIVES AT EVERIS. The Rock N' Roll Marathon, the EcoRun 2013, the Carrera de los Emprendedores Race, the Carrera Entreculturas Race, and the Carrera de las Capacidades Race are just some of the races and activities that everis professionals participated in during the past year in Madrid. But we advocate for sports and athletics not only at the central headquarters of everis. All everis offices participate in various athletic events and numerous initiatives related to a healthy lifestyle. The Valencia office is a great example. During the past year, they held the first Valencia Running everis Race Circuit. Ten popular races were chosen as part of the circuit, and participants had to attend a minimum of six of them to reach final qualification. The awards were divided into three categories: 1. Award for the runner covering the most kilometers. 2. Award for the first person to qualify in the league. 3. Award to the most improved competitor or best new athlete, based on votes. everis Valencia also participated in the 2013 Empresas Valencianas Race with a men's team of three and two mixed teams of four people. More than 300 runners attended the race representing various companies from Valencia. During the past year in Peru the everis life/ care program was carried out, which seeks to encourage healthy habits. This initiative was divided primarily into three actions: massage sessions to prevent muscular problems; healthy food at offices; and a health library with self-help books and guides on achieving professional success. Also in Peru employees celebrated the "everis Cup", which included participation of 18 soccer teams and another 10 mixed volleyball teams. The main purpose is to promote athletics and strengthen healthy habits among all of our professionals. In Brazil the Quality of Life program was implemented with a variety of actions, which will be expanded during the coming year. The objective of this initiative is to encourage healthy behaviors with the inclusion of juice machines at the offices, activities with health organizations, and even memos with healthy recommendations.

    108 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 SUSTAINABILITY ___ 109 Main Conclusions of the 2011-2012 Carbon Footprint Study. In 2013, a significant decrease in the ecological footprint was observed related to a decrease in the forests required to absorb the CO2 emitted. The Ecological footprint per employee was reduced by 28.4% in the 2013 fiscal year, as compared with 2012. everis Spain is continually growing, and therefore has deemed it most significant to compare the reduction goals to intensity goals. Thus, a goal of a 10% reduction of the relationship between overall emissions and the invoicing volume for the next seven years was stipulated in the previous report (2012), using 2010 as a reference, in accordance with worldwide goals for the reduction of emissions in comparison with the year 2000. Nonetheless, given the information on the significant decrease of emissions (above 28%) resulting by the decrease in the use of airplanes for long-distance travel, the goals to be set should be more ambitious as a result, setting a reduction of 50% in the same period of time. Measures taken up to the present have contributed to complying with the reduction goal. ·· Substitution of domestic flights for trips by train. ·· Energy management in the Madrid offices This plan is expanding to the rest of offices, with results to be posted in next year’s report. ·· Implementation of the car sharing plan, which assumes a reduction in the number of taxis used. ·· Extension of the useful life span of computer equipment. ##EarthDay Recycle…Reduce…Reuse… During this fiscal year, and motivated by Earth Day, everis Mexico rolled out a significant awareness campaign for all of its professionals.

COM collects this knowledge into a method that is easy to use and that offers better solutions for our clients. Using COM is the best way to guarantee development of the project in terms of time, quality and budget. One of its main objetives is to be converted into the only methodology in the company used to comply with the various certifications that we now hold (namely: ISO9001ISO20000 and CMMI). The COM Methodology was created in alignment with the PMBOK of the PMI ®, ITIL, Metric 3, Prince 2 and TSP.

This way it is possible to take the client’s feedback into account and build in greater flexibility. ·· Multi-disciplinary teams, always autonomous, qualified to receive the requirements and to transform them as quickly as possible. ·· Sharing responsibilities with the whole team, working and thinking together, increasing quality, productivity and motivacion. ·· Working to meet high quality standards since this will lead to the development of a better product. In addition, with the goal of being in alignment with the needs of our clients and the agile trend, at everis we have developed an extension of our COM methodology called COM Agile. This methodology guides us in the management and implementation of agile projects, with a clear, unambiguous and independent path to follow. ·· Re-engineering of COM Testing Methods: ·· A new initial phase has been included, Testing Strategy, which emphasizes that testing is a process to be considered from the beginning of a project and, therefore, that it is necessary to analyze in detail the levels and types of tests that will be executed, and the main need they generate (environments, teams, tools, etc.) ·· Integration with the QUARK tools suite (and with any additional tool that is commonly used in the testing process) in order to optimize the process. In addition, the tools Testlink, Sonar and Jira are pre-configured, aligning them with COM. ·· Alignment with CMMI and with widely accepted international standards, such as the National Institute of Communications Technologies (INTECO) and the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB). ·· Re-engineering the COM Deployment Strategies method which is summarized as follows: ·· An initial phase has been added that is executed simultaneously with development, which is a significant change that trumps the more or less widespread belief that the deployments begin when development is more advanced. ·· Integration of the Quark tools suite ·· Validation and verification activities have been included as required by CMMI and some new techniques to aid with planning and management of the deployments (Quick Wins, Go-NoGo landmarks, War Room, etc.) ·· New COM Method of AM Service Management: ·· This establishes a common framework for management that covers the activities related to planning, follow-up and monitoring, that implements a program of process improvement and that provides support for the life cycle of service development ·· Alignment with CMMI for Services v1.3, ISO 20,000 and PCAM.

    128 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 EVERIS FOUNDATION ___ 129 ENTREPRENEURS AWARD 2013. For thirteen years, the everis foundation has awarded the Entrepreneurs’ Award to promote the entrepreneurial spirit and research at the international level. In this last fiscal year, in which 270 candidates applied from countries such as Germany, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Portugal, Aisoy Robotics walked away with the prize. This is a project that focuses on a new generation of social robots, capable of making decisions and of showing emotional reactions. Furthermore, second place was awarded to Heart Genetics, which develops an innovative diagnostic method based on an advanced genetic analysis. This project is aimed at supporting clinical decisions of healthcare professionals and improving the early detection of illnesses. The jury for the Entrepreneurs’ Prize was directed by Eduardo Serra, president of the everis foundation and included Miguel Ángel Alario, former president of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences; Blas Calzada Terrados, former president of the National Stock Market Commission and of La Salle Innovation Park; Begoña Cristeto, CEO of Enisa (National Innovation Company); Montserrat Mateos, editor and coordinator of Entrepreneurs and Employment for the newspaper Expansión; and Iñaki Ortega, executive director of the Madrid Emprende Agency for Economic Development. CALL FOR THE 2014 ENTREPRENEURS PRIZE.  The everis foundation opened the period for the submission of projects for the XIII Meeting of its Entrepreneurs’ Prize that, for yet another year, executed its goal to encourage innovation and research in support of entrepreneurship, with a prize of 60,000 euros for the winner and of 40,000 euros for runner-up, if any. In this edition, with the intention of giving it continuity throughout the year, of lending more prestige to the prize and so that the selection process may serve as means for gaining visibility for the foundation, the methodology has changed to include some new aspects. The first of these is the existence of three categories for participating in the prize, which are: ·· Biotechnology and Health. ·· Information Technology and the Digital Economy ·· Industrial and energy technologies. Using an exhaustive study of all candidates, in which the level of innovation, the business model and the solution proposed by each project will be evaluated, the everis foundation will call two evaluation events. For these, each selected entrepreneur will present its project to the other participants and to a group of experts trained by everis executives and its clients, with broad experience in the creation of companies. A finalist for each category will be chosen at these events, who will receive a package of services from the everis foundation technology broker, i-deals, valued at 5,000 euros, the purpose of which is to assist the entrepreneur in developing and improving the project. Through this “mentoring” process, the everis foundation jury will select a finalist and a possible second place awardee, in case there is a project meriting that award.

    130 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 EVERIS FOUNDATION ___ 131 IBERO-AMERICAN AWARDS FOR INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. The everis foundation collaborates with the Ibero- American Secretary General (SEBIB), in the role of national partner and sponsoring partner, to organize the Ibero-American Awards for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The main objective is to support the development and implementation of projects and companies who win the contest. In the 2010, 2011 and 2013 editions, the winning projects of the Entrepreneurs’ Prizes also won the Ibero-American Prize. FOUNDATION INITIATIVES. I-deals. i-deals was born four years ago from the everis foundation as a pioneering model of “technology brokering.” Its main objectives include identifying opportunities of high technological complexity and making them aware of the market. Definitively, this deals with the assessment of technological innovations to support both their commercialization as well as their financing. In accordance with the joint collaboration between i-deals and the foundation, we have served as the middleman to link the academic and scientific communities with the business community and ensure a better relationship between them. Thus, throughout this fiscal year, we have completed projects with major organizations such as the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST-U of Lisbon), the Polytechnic of Milan, ICAI (University of Comillas) and various start-ups such as BitBrain, Deutecno- Vortex and others. Due to all of this, the everis foundation continues part of its foundation work in support of the university of entrepreneurship and technological commercialization through i-deals. Transforming Spain and Transforming Talent. In 2010, the foundation started, through the everis innovation team, led by Marc Alba, the Transforming Spain initiative. A non-profit and non-partisan movement, it aims at contributing — through the Civil Society — to changing the crisis in Spain into an opportunity for transformation. At the end of 2010, the Transforming Spain report “A key moment of opportunity to build the admired Spain of the future” was published, with the support of one hundred social and business personalities from Spanish society. Like Transforming Spain, Transforming Talent was born in 2012 for the purpose of driving change in society. In this case, the focus is on the academic world, subject to a talent drain. Currently, these initiatives are protected by the Transforming Spain foundation, led by Eduardo Serra, which is aimed at setting a point of departure that converts Spain into a reference protagonist with a future that is both passionate and competitive and demanding. The purpose of the foundation is to coordinate the strengths of all the stakeholders by contributing ideas, sharing points of view and discussing focuses for formulating action proposals. These proposals will take shape in awareness-raising initiatives formulated by and with Spanish civil society.

    136 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 FINANCIAL INFORMATION ___ 137 FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Fiscal 2013 has been a year of essential changes for the everis group, both from a corporate point of view and from a financial point of view, as can be seen from the morphology of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the group for March 31, 2014. During fiscal 2013, the NTT group became the sole shareholder of the everis group, which caused change not only in the capital structure but also in the morphology of the financial structure of the Group. As a result of the integration of everis into NTT, the company was able to cancel its structural debt early, which consisted in syndicated financing, the obligations and limitations of which had been met rigorously by everis. Furthermore, the company has undertaken a project to redefine its financial structure in order to achieve efficiency in terms of financial cost and agility in each one of the geographic areas where it does business. This project assumes the reduction and concentration of financing lines for current assets and their substitution by financing by the parent company, under more favorable conditions than those current in the market. In addition, the group has launched its new Strategic Plan, with a time scope that reaches to 2017, the action levers and objectives of which will be accompanied by a stronger financial structure that will enable the achievement of said objectives within the duration of the Plan. AUDIT REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS To the Sole Shareholder of Everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder Company): We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder Company) (the Parent Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cash flow statement, and the notes thereto for the year then ended. The Parent Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the regulatory framework for financial information applicable to the entity in Spain (identified in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements), and specifically in accordance with the applicable accounting principles and criteria contained therein. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the aforementioned consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, based upon work performed in accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain, which require the examination, through the performance of selective tests, of the evidence supporting the consolidated financial statements, and the evaluation of whether their presentation, the accounting principles and criteria applied and the estimates made are in agreement with the applicable regulatory framework for financial information. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2014 give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of Everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder Company) and subsidiaries at March 31, 2014, and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flow for the year ended, in conformity with the applicable regulatory framework for financial information in Spain, and specifically the accounting principles and criteria contained therein. The accompanying consolidated management report for the financial year ended March 31, 2014 contains such explanations as the directors of the Parent Company consider appropriate concerning the situation of the Group, the evolution of its business and other matters; however, it is not an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. We have checked that the accounting information included in the aforementioned consolidated management report agrees with the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2014. Our work as auditors is limited to verifying the consolidated management report in accordance with the scope mentioned in this paragraph, and does not include the review of information other than that obtained from the accounting records of everis Spain, S.L. (Sole Shareholder Company) and its subsidiaries. July 3, 2014

    150 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 REPORT COVERAGE AND INDICATORS ___ 151 REPORT PREPARATION PROCESS. In order to define the content of this corporate report, the valuations of the various heads of the companies have been analyzed that are directly related to our stakeholders as well as the opinions of both our internal stakeholders (employees) and external ones (suppliers, clients, university.) The issues and questions concerning sustainable development that are important and relevant to everis have been considered in the report to provide a complete, balanced overview, adapted to the needs and interests of our most important stakeholders. To determine what issues or topics are important, we have considered: ·· In determining the content to be covered in the report we considered the priorities of our stakeholders. To this end, we launched a survey to assess priorities and the materiality of the content. ·· Significant risks that may affect the company’s operations and business. ·· Contribution to the improvement or worsening of the social, environmental and economic consequences of our activity. Analysis of surveys. The materiality survey, based on recommendations in the "Engagement with Stakeholders" manual, AccountAbility (2006), and the changes introduced in the 2011 draft, has allowed stakeholders’ priorities to be analyzed in relation to the rating thereof by people in decision-making positions within the group. The following table shows the results of the analysis of the surveys answered by the various groups. A rating scale with five degrees of importance has been devised and applied to the corresponding themes to set priorities within each group. Diagnostics.

    152 ___ ANNUALREPORT 2013-2014 REPORT COVERAGE AND INDICATORS ___ 153 In order to produce this report, the following steps have been taken: 1. Meetings with each everis department head who has any kind of direct relationship with our stakeholders. 2. Summary of the corporate actions and initiatives taken throughout this fiscal year on corporate, economic or environmental issues. 3. Collection of information on actions completed with and for our stakeholders. 4. Request of the GRI indicators from the internal department heads in each of the subjects to be covered. 5. Writing the report. 6. Submission of the report to each everis department head to verify the collected content. At everis, we identify and understand that sustainability is one of our corporate values (discerning generosity, responsible freedom and creative energy.) Coherence and transparency are keys to our mission and vision with each of the stakeholders with whom we work, above all in order to determine our risks and our opportunities for improvement. In everything, we seek to improve and strengthen our relationships with our stakeholders through open bilateral communication and to establish the preparation of a complete study of the committed materiality with sustainable development. In addition, thanks to our company’s new stage with NTT DATA, we find ourselves with new horizons that strengthen and integrate the sustainability of our business model. Board processes to assess the organization’s performance in terms of sustainability. The Board of Directors, in the exercise of its duties of governance and direction, takes into consideration the guidelines and directives of corporate governance based both on the applicable standards, such as the codes and standards of the market on the subject, plus the experience and knowledge of its members, for the purpose of driving optimal administration, supervision and monitoring of corporate management, in consideration of the same. Thus, monthly monitoring is carried out of the group activities on the subjects of People (Human Resources), Production (quality control, profitability and delivery), International, Regional and Local Business Operations, as well as analysis of the financial situation. Thus, the diversity and experience derived from the composition of the Board enables the analysis of management information from the standpoint of economic viability (corporate profitability and growth) as well as social responsibility (to employees, clients and other stakeholders), facilitating those instructions or making the decisions that enable the framing of a strategy that takes such guidelines and directives into account. Additionally, as a corporate guideline, in its meetings it executes monitoring through monographic subjects, of the various aspects related to each of the subjects mentioned, through their presentation by an executive or third party (auditors, advisors, collaborators, etc.), who gives his/her criteria for group performance on the related topic, in order to continue the corresponding debate among the members of the Board. Finally, through the operating of its Commissions on Appointments and Remunerations, as well as Auditing and Compliance, jointly with work by the Advisory Council on People and Positioning and Commercial Business Strategy, guidelines are created and follow-up/monitoring is conducted, to give a strategic orientation that incorporates these guidelines and directives with leadership and corporate social responsibility into the business activities of the Group. Sustainability assessment of the Board itself. The Board of Directors, following the provisions established by the Commission on Appointments and Remunerations, periodically issues an evaluation of the Board itself and on the other hand, of its own members, led and managed by a specialized consultancy (Spencer Stuart). Among the aspects that that are analyzed and evaluated with regard to Board activity and involvement in operations, the Board has dealt with and commented on aspects related to behaviors, practices and standards of governability and criteria for the administration of resources/employability practices, and the consideration of the various stakeholder interests. Other issues dealt with include transparency in information regarding services and activities, business relations and practices with suppliers and business partners, or the financial return on investment and protection of the company’s assets, as well as the promotion of the relationships in each country where the Group is established, in the local context and culture.
