William (Bill) Murphy is the first advisor of the Canadian organization, CESO at Inellipse Software Solutions in Bitola. He has over 20 years of international experience in the areas of business, marketing, product development, of startups and software companies. Inellipse is the first company grantee of the Bitove program for entrepreneurs in Macedonia 2025, in partnership with CESO (Canada).

Our main objective of this engagement is to get help in developing and selling our own products. Besides the software services that we already provide, our goal is to transition part of our company to product development.

When we saw the call about this program we immediately knew that we had to apply first! Having a similar experience with a Dutch advisor at Inellipse two years ago, we saw the positive impact and the growth of our company from then.

Our team, together with Bill Murphy, has worked on the development process assessing over 20 product ideas. Starting from criteria of selection, selecting an idea, through the whole process until the product is successfully marketed. In the same time, Bill also exchanged knowledge and additional support in other key activity areas for our company.

Regarding this project, we had a meeting with the team from Macedonia 2025 at our office in Bitola. At the meeting, we presented our ideas for the continuation of this process and other areas where we offered our contribution in order to promote and support the ICT sector in Macedonia.

Our co-founder Ilija Jolevski received official invitation to be a speaker at the next Macedonia2025 Summit in Skopje, which is an honor. We are looking forward to the Summit, to share our experience and to inspire other companies and young people to pursue their dreams.

The objective of the Bitove – program for entrepreneurs is to support the development of Macedonian micro, small and medium enterprises. We encourage people and companies to use this opportunity to take their business to the next level. You can find out more about the Bitove program for entrepreneurs and how to apply here: https://bit.ly/2M24fsE
