Digital Government: How Cosmos solutions bring public services closer to the citizens in Greece and Cyprus

The digital transformation of the public sector is not just about upgrading systems or adopting new technologies. In reality, its core focus is the citizen: how easily people can access services, how fast they are served, how fairly they are treated, and how much they trust the state.

The companies of Cosmos Group – Cosmos Business Systems, Cosmos Consulting, CBS IT Systems Cyprus, CBS.LAN, and Novelcosmos AI – use their expertise and strong partnerships with leading international technology providers, they implement Digital Government solutions.

With 42 years of experience, 320 employees, and annual revenue of €100 million, the Cosmos Group is one of the leading Digital Technology Providers in Greece and Cyprus.

These projects, launched by the Ministry of Digital Governance, Information Society S.A., the Ministry of Defense, as well as other public organizations and DEKO, strengthen not only the technological infrastructure of the public sector but also the social value of public services. As a result, they significantly raise the country’s level of digital readiness.

Digital services with a human focus

The digitalization of processes reduces bureaucracy, increases transparency, and limits the need for physical visits, offering direct benefits to society:

  • Fast service: Citizens are served quickly and easily.
  • Time and cost savings: Queues are reduced and the need for paper documents is minimized.
  • Fair services: Human intervention and delays are limited, ensuring equal treatment for all.

With modern interoperability platforms and automated workflow systems, Cosmos helps public organizations deliver services that are clear, easy to understand, and simple for everyone. These services are available in real time, both on computers and on smart devices.

Project examples

  • Digitalization of AADE Service Archives

This project focuses on converting the physical archives of AADE into a modern, secure, and fully digital repository, with advanced search and interoperability tools. The result is faster service, greater transparency, less bureaucracy, and easier access for citizens and businesses, as well as better information on financial and tax obligations.

Cosmos Business Systems, using its specialized expertise and advanced technology solutions, ensures reliability, data security, and the immediate access to archives covering many years.

  • E-Law – Cyprus Law Office The e-Law project brings digital transformation to the Cyprus Law Office, making processes faster, more transparent, and better organized.

    Through the new integrated information system developed by Cosmos and its subsidiary in Cyprus, CBS IT Systems Cyprus, cases are monitored efficiently, tasks are automated, and communication between the service’s officers is significantly improved.

For citizens, this means faster service, clear information about the progress of their cases, and an overall improved experience with public administration.

These solutions provide continuous protection of their information systems, 24 hours a day, all year round.

    With these solutions in place, public services can operate smoothly and reliably, protecting personal data and ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of digital services.

  • Anti-Money Laundering & Counter-Terrorist Financing Platform (AML)

This project involves the development of a modern national platform for the prevention and fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The platform went live in February 2025, following the successful completion of the project in cooperation with the General Secretariat for Economic Policy and Strategy of the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, and the General Secretariat for Information Systems and Digital Governance of the Ministry of Digital Governance, as part of a Recovery and Resilience Fund project.

The platform serves as a key reference point for the interoperable collection of anonymized statistical data from dozens of public and private organizations. It enhances transparency, reliability, and data comparability, while significantly reducing administrative burden. At the same time, it supports the country’s compliance with European and international regulatory requirements and strengthens trust in the financial supervision system.
