In late 2006, information technology company S&T Services assigned Tomáš Sýkora to work as the manager for integration responsible for merging the Grall company into S&T. The acquisition, which will increase the holding's annual revenue to some 1 billion Kč ($48.2 million), was one of the most significant in the Czech Republic last year.

Before joining S&T Services, he developed personnel policies at the IT company truconneXion.

Meanwhile, Ivo Chmelík took over the position of investment director based in Ostrava, north Moravia.
