SOITRON HAS BUILT PIONEERING SERVICES IN A GOVERNMENT CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

Before the government cloud started to be built, the Slovak state administration had 250 separate data centers. The vision was to get them gradually all “under one roof”. The government intends to save 15 % to 20 % of operating costs representing a saving of EUR 30 million per year.
