Not even 2 years have passed since the full return to “normality” and we have already forgotten the huge, violent change imposed by the pandemic on our lives and even in the digital revolution. We will always remember that within 10 days, the mandatory lockdown led us to change habits and functions. From the way we communicate, the way we study, the way we work…
And then, the success of the European Union with the Recovery and Resilience Fund, the Digital Policy Bible prepared by the Government and the inflow of about €10 billion for the Digital Transformation of the State. Money that constitutes, along with the actions of the NSRF and others, the cornerstone of the change that is taking place and will evolve until the end of this decade.
It is therefore a fact that the pandemic acted as an accelerator, first of all, of the perspective that citizens and governments were dealing with technology. And they no longer see it as an expense or a necessary evil, but as an investment and as a tool for growth and prosperity. We were fortunate to be within the axes set out in the new digital strategy. Both in the areas of infrastructure, as well as in the areas of Systems Security, Software Development, large-scale networks, services. Even in the demanding field of Digitalization. And of course we soon developed a new business unit in the field of Artificial Intelligence, in Greek and for the needs of the work of the National Printing Office, which now gives us the opportunity to expand our applications in all relevant areas.
But what are the axes on which investments are made today? First, the large databases, the Cadastre and Urban Planning, the courts, hospitals, tax offices and ministries, are digitized.
In a few years, the search for a contract or a court decision will be a matter of a few clicks. With the use of AI, we will be able to have an immediate diagnosis, based on our Medical Record. And we will have direct access to the building permit for grandfather’s house in the village, along with the contracts.
It is modernized with infrastructure, health, education and justice, ports, customs and tax offices. Ministries and municipalities that become “smart”. It is possible to have digital nomads all over the country from all over the world. And all this with data security and business continuity, ensured by Cybersecurity and the implementation of GDPR and NSIS II directives.
In conclusion, the pandemic has contributed more than anything else to the digital transformation and transformation of the country, and it will be up to us to preserve and expand this opportunity. Because… plus Athena and hand moves!
