On the basis of my military service in the Navy, I served as an Engineer and was responsible for the Information and Communication Systems of the Naval Base of Samos.

    • Cease the use of paper in order to minimize operational cost.
    • Easy and immediate lookup of the pallet of signals.
    • Easy redistribution of the signals to the vessels.
    • Immediate recording and dispatching of outgoing signals.
    • Automatic archiving of incoming data and repeal of outdated printed files.
