Being able to use the technical, regulatory and business expertise as well as the innovative solutions provided by InfoCert, will strongly facilitate critically important changes in our internal processes”.
Based on these drivers, InfoCert, member of the Tecnoinvestimenti Group and the largest Certification Authority in Europe, announces that it has been awarded the public tender for the digital transformation of document and workflow procedures of Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency.
