Jaroslav Hloušek appointed Director of SAP Department at Eviden

Eviden, a prominent SAP implementation partner, has announced the appointment of Jaroslav Hloušek as the new Director of its SAP department. Bringing decades of experience from both public and private sectors, Hloušek is set to lead the company’s SAP initiatives, with a focus on migrating medium-sized businesses to the cutting-edge SAP S/4HANA platform.

Hloušek joins Eviden following a six-year tenure at Česká pošta, where he directed the ICT and eGovernment department. At Česká pošta, he oversaw critical operations, including infrastructure, application management, and cyber security, alongside developing innovative IT solutions such as IS data boxes, CzechPoint, and data warehouses.

In his new role, Hloušek is determined to bridge the gap for medium-sized enterprises hesitant to adopt SAP S/4HANA.

“One of the key tasks will be to demonstrate the advantages of integrating AI, cloud technology, and the SAP platform to midsize companies,” said Hloušek. “While large corporations have largely transitioned to SAP S/4HANA, midsize customers require more tailored support, clear arguments, and patience to fully appreciate the benefits of this innovation. My experience in state-run IT provides a valuable perspective in these conversations.”

A Veteran in ICT Leadership

Hloušek’s career in ICT spans over 25 years, beginning in 1998 when he directed the INVEX Computer Fair in Brno, Europe’s second-largest IT exhibition. Over the years, he has held senior leadership roles across organizations providing infrastructure and information systems, including:
• CEO of Anect: Delivered infrastructure projects for major government clients, such as the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.
• Director at Comint: Spearheaded the development of systems for the Ministry of Transport and created a portal for the Ministry of Justice.

In addition to his executive roles, Hloušek has contributed to ICT policy and governance as a member of the Board of Directors of the Association for Information Society, the Government Council for Information Technology, and as an advisor to the Minister of Transport.

Personal Background

At 52 years old, Hloušek balances his professional achievements with a dynamic personal life. Divorced with three children, he enjoys sports and the practice of hardening. Fluent in English, German, and Russian, his global outlook aligns with Eviden’s vision of expanding its SAP offerings across diverse markets.

With Hloušek at the helm, Eviden aims to solidify its position as a leading SAP implementation partner, empowering businesses to harness the full potential of modern IT solutions.
