Technology
Making the most of available technology, at all times, can have a strong impact on business performance, either through efficiency gains in operations, or by creating competitive advantages over existing businesses, or by developing new technology-driven businesses.
We independently support our clients to navigate the world of available technological options, by adopting the most suitable solutions for business priorities and to plan (and often lead) their implementation.
Regarding technology, not only do we privilege the IT area (Zertive's conventional knowledge), but also other emerging technology areas, such as: Smart Metering/Smart Grids in Energy sector and Intelligent Transport Systems in Transport sector.
