In his own words: “we wish to modernize the operational models of businesses and
organizations with a focus on better cooperation, by automating simple repetitive
processes to utilize human resources in more important, strategic and, to a certain
extent I would say, more interesting for employees, activities and functions of the
business or organization. And as we enter another challenging period with energy costs
rising and a war underway, it is important to use technology even faster to achieve the
best possible results for the country. With cloud services, supported by the Greek DCs,
people will have fast and secure access to digital services from e-commerce to public
services that improve the relationship between citizens and public administration”.
