Ralliton & Team Candi implemented the new internal portal of CNP CYPRUS Group

Employee Portal: The new internal portal of the leading insurance group CNP CYPRUS

Team Candi, a member of the Quest Group, in collaboration with Ralliton, one of the largest Cypriot cloud services companies, designed and implemented a modern internal information portal (Intranet portal-Employee Portal) for the leading insurance Group CNP CYPRUS.


The Employee Portal was created with the aim of optimizing internal communication and dissemination of corporate information, gathering and organizing in one central place all common information and further developing cooperation among employees.

The new internal portal was implemented by utilizing Microsoft technologies, specifically SharePoint and Power Platform, offering rich features and functionality. Utilizing for the first time an internal Portal, the 350 employees of the organization in Cyprus and Greece, gain in a completely user-friendly and secure environment, the ability to have direct contact with their colleagues and access to updated and complete corporate information. In addition, the Employee Portal is connected to the organization’s Success Factors in a secure way through Azure, offering additional information to users, such as their licenses, trainings, organization chart and many other useful information.

With the acquisition of a modern intranet portal, CNP CYPRUS Group now has a powerful tool for managing and sharing corporate information with authorization levels and an auditing mechanism, achieving to upgrade the overall employee experience and promote information, interaction, participation and cultivation of a single corporate culture.

Manos Pepis, Technology Manager of Team Candi stated: “CNP CYPRUS’ Employee Portal is a real source of enhancing effective collaboration and resource management, setting new standards for the digital evolution of businesses. Microsoft’s choice of technologies has helped us leverage the full potential of the company’s existing infrastructure to create a secure, flexible, and high-performance application fully and securely interconnected with the rest of the company’s systems.”

Ralliton’s Solutions Director, Kyriakos Kyriacou, said: “Our transformative project, using Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Microsoft Viva, has equipped CNP CYPRUS with an advanced corporate network. This powerful solution not only increases productivity, but also promotes seamless collaboration across the Group, enhancing communication channels and promoting increased user engagement. In this way, strengthening CNP CYPRUS’ position at the forefront of productivity and connectivity in their industry.”

Eleni Psillidou, Human Resources Director of CNP CYPRUS commented: “Our new Group Employee Portal offers a fast and efficient basis for communicating with all members of our Group staff in Cyprus and Greece, through a renewed and enjoyable user experience. The first impressions and comments of the staff members are indeed encouraging and very positive. We look forward to further utilizing the Portal through the new possibilities offered to us, such as conducting internal surveys (polls), publishing new interactive material, etc. »

Leonidas Mouskos, Group IT Manager of CNP CYPRUS stated: “We are excited to present this new technological application, a testament to our commitment to providing our employees with the best tools to work. CNP Cyprus continues to invest in new technological solutions to empower its human resources. The choice of SharePoint platform is also a demonstration of our commitment to promote a flexible, dynamic and efficient workplace. This cutting-edge platform not only enhances communication and collaboration, but also allows employees to connect, share ideas, and work seamlessly.”


One Plus Management’s AWS Migration: Empowering Business Transformation

In the ever-evolving world of IT, cloud technology has emerged as a catalyst for innovation and efficiency. Today, we delve into the remarkable journey of One Plus Management, a dynamic organization that recently made the transition from its on-premises infrastructure to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. This migration has brought forth a plethora of benefits, enhancing not only their operational agility but also reinforcing their commitment to security and compliance.

Unleashing the Potential of Cloud Migration

Agility and Elasticity

The primary driver behind One Plus Management’s decision to migrate to AWS was the need for greater agility and flexibility. Stuck within the confines of traditional on-premises setups, they often grappled with the limitations of hardware scalability and resource allocation. By embracing the AWS cloud, they gained the power to effortlessly adjust resources according to fluctuating demands, ensuring seamless performance during peak workloads.

Financial Optimizations

One of the significant advantages of this migration was the cost efficiencies it unlocked. One Plus Management could now reallocate their financial resources that were once tied up in capital expenses for hardware and maintenance. Thanks to AWS’s pay-as-you-go pricing model, they could effectively pay only for the services they consumed, eliminating unnecessary expenditures.

Bolstering Security and Compliance in the Cloud

Robust Data Encryption

The paramount concern for One Plus Management during this migration was data security, a vital aspect given their involvement in sensitive business operations. AWS, with its robust encryption capabilities for data at rest and in transit, provides an ironclad shield against potential security breaches, assuring the utmost protection for critical business information.

Stringent Compliance Standards

AWS has invested significantly in obtaining a multitude of compliance certifications and standards, serving as a key factor in One Plus Management’s decision to migrate. These certifications, including SOC 2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, signify AWS’s unwavering commitment to industry-leading best practices in security, privacy, and compliance. By migrating to AWS, One Plus Management was not only enhancing its security posture but also simplifying compliance adherence.

Enhanced Access Controls

With AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), One Plus Management could establish fine-grained access controls for their team members. This ensured that only authorized personnel could access specific resources, significantly bolstering their security framework while facilitating compliance with regulatory requirements.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

AWS offers comprehensive disaster recovery and backup solutions, providing One Plus Management with a robust framework to ensure business continuity in the face of unexpected disruptions. They no longer needed to invest in separate disaster recovery infrastructure, saving both time and resources while enhancing their preparedness for unforeseen events.

Conclusion

One Plus Management’s migration to AWS showcases the immense potential of cloud technology, emphasizing the transformative impact it can have on businesses. This transition has led to improved scalability, cost-effectiveness, and, most importantly, an elevated standard of data security and compliance.

The advantages of cloud migration extend far beyond mere operational convenience. In industries like business management, where data integrity and compliance are paramount, a secure and compliant environment is non-negotiable. AWS, with its robust security features and extensive certifications, has emerged as a trusted ally for such organizations.

One Plus Management’s journey to the cloud serves as an inspiring testament to how embracing cloud technology can empower organizations to flourish in the dynamic world of modern business, all while maintaining the highest levels of data security and compliance. As the IT landscape continues to evolve, we anticipate more narratives like this, reaffirming the pivotal role of cloud technology in our increasingly digital and connected world.

The Power of Cloud Migration – Priamus Audit

In the ever-evolving landscape of IT, the cloud has emerged as a game-changer for businesses across the globe. Today, we’ll delve into the inspiring case of Priamus Audit, a forward-thinking organization that recently made the leap from their on-premises environment to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform. This migration not only brought a multitude of benefits but also enhanced their security and compliance measures.

The Power of Cloud Migration

 

Scalability and Flexibility

The primary reason behind Priamus Audit’s migration to AWS was the need for scalability and flexibility. In their on-premises environment, they were limited by the physical infrastructure and resources, which often led to constraints in handling growing data volumes and varying workloads. By transitioning to the AWS cloud, they gained the ability to scale resources up or down as needed, ensuring optimal performance even during peak demand.

Cost Efficiency

Migrating to the cloud also brought about significant cost savings. Priamus Audit no longer had to invest in expensive hardware and maintenance, allowing them to allocate their resources more efficiently. With AWS’s pay-as-you-go pricing model, they only pay for the services they use, eliminating the need for over-provisioning.

 

Security and Compliance in the Cloud

 

Robust Data Encryption

One of the primary concerns when migrating to the cloud is data security. Priamus Audit, being in the audit and financial services industry, had to prioritize data protection. AWS offers robust encryption mechanisms, both in transit and at rest, ensuring that sensitive client information is shielded from potential threats.

Compliance Certifications

AWS has invested heavily in achieving various compliance certifications and standards, which was a key factor in Priamus Audit’s decision to migrate. These certifications, including SOC 2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, provide assurance that AWS follows industry best practices for security, privacy, and compliance. This significantly reduced the compliance burden on Priamus Audit.

Enhanced Access Controls

With AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), Priamus Audit could set granular access controls for their team members, ensuring that only authorized personnel could access specific resources. This not only bolstered security but also helped them meet regulatory requirements.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

AWS offers comprehensive disaster recovery and backup solutions, allowing Priamus Audit to ensure business continuity even in the face of unexpected events. They no longer needed to invest in separate disaster recovery infrastructure, saving both time and resources.

 

Conclusion

The story of Priamus Audit’s migration to AWS stands as a testament to the immense potential of cloud technology. Their transition brought about improved scalability, cost efficiency, and, most importantly, a heightened sense of security and compliance.

The benefits of cloud migration extend far beyond mere convenience. For businesses operating in regulated industries like finance and audit, a secure and compliant environment is non-negotiable. AWS, with its world-class security features and certifications, is proving to be a trusted partner for such organizations.

Priamus Audit’s journey to the cloud serves as an inspiring example of how leveraging cloud technology can empower organizations to thrive in today’s dynamic business landscape while ensuring the highest levels of data security and compliance. As the IT world continues to evolve, we can expect more stories like this to unfold, reinforcing the transformative power of cloud technology in our increasingly digital world.
