The remote work came overnight before we could really test how the work with the entire remote team would work. We had to find the necessary resources to face the new professional challenges and the new face of the professional environment, the new virtual and collective workspace.

Although in Romania the IT sector is in a continuous expansion, our country is one of the last places in the European Union in terms of digitalization. We have been talking about digital transformation for several years now and it is more than clear that digitalization and automation are at the top of the development strategies of organizations globally.
