ANNUAL REPORT / vol .2 2018
Every day we work in order to develop new ideas, new products and services that contribute to a better and sustainable tomorrow. Focused on solving problems that affect society on a daily basis, we imagine, explore and create innovative tools for changing environments. We truly believe that our work is important and necessary. As we should be aware, the
telecommunications industry is always changing: new improvements and interesting opportunities are raised for service providers. With our focus always on the customer’s and society needs, our portfolio includes a wide variety of products, services and SaaS for the Telecom and Future Internet areas. Our outstanding results can be happily seen all over the world.
As time goes by, the population keeps growing along with the rise of the urban population percentage. In fact, cities use up to 80% of the world’s resources while occupying only 2% of the global territory. This is boosting several problems, such as the difficulty with planning and managing this fast and forced urbanization, facing these scary climate changes, the lack of drinkable water, the extreme droughts and floods, and even the increasingly higher stress levels of
citizens on their daily basis. As fancy as it may seem, the smart cities movement is not a luxury topic, uniquely addressed to main cities with a lot of money and population.
It is about providing people with the best solutions for their daily life problems, it is about involving several people with different responsibilities and backgrounds and trying to understand the problems of every single one of them
to ultimately offer the best solutions. It is about sustainability, about ensuring that we can aim at waking up to a (better) tomorrow. We need to try to consider both parts - people’s goals and the effects these life changes have both on the planet and on their lives. While thinking about smart cities, we can consider a wide variety of areas, with our company giving its contribution by focusing on mobility, tourism, energy, and efficient resource management.
It is true that we live in a world that is always changing and which presents strong and avid competitiveness. But we face daily challenges, not as everyday problems, but as opportunities to outstanding our expectations. This is what keeps us awake and motivated every day. We want to offer out-of-the-box and creative solutions. We offer such a wide portfolio, because we let our imagination lead the way, and that is a key to reach innovation. Of course
that, besides being extremely important, this is not enough. Alongside this, we count with extremely qualified expertise from many fields and this is how we truly believe that we are able to provide remarkable solutions - products and services - to our clients, in different sectors. As time went by, we were able to understand that specific client needed specific projects, and this is how tailor-made projects emerged in our company.
