Projects Employees (competencies) restructuring

According to new company's vision, mission, values and strategy, in which company's primary focus
has been expanded from telco solutions in some other industries, we have to acquire new expert
knowledge in different verticals. Our new goal is to integrate our expert knowledge of telco solutions
with some other industries and become unique solution provider for our customers.
At the beginning we have defined missing gaps between existing and requiered competencies.

hiring of individuals with some expert and rare knowledge in different industries. In other cases
existing employees have been sent to extensive training programmes in order to become competent
