Discussing with George Baizanos

QUESTION 1

“Archeiothiki SA” was founded in 2006. The days when archives were once stored have now been substituted by the digital era. What is Archeiothikis’s perception regarding technology and its advancements?

Technology and the developments that accompany it have been the core focal point of “Archeiothiki S.A” since its commencement. In this field today, “Archeiothiki” is the biggest records storage and management company, concerning both physical and digital files. Put simply, “Archeiothiki” administrates the data information in Greece. For this reason, we are focused on researching and upgrading the quality of digital tools which we can equip our clients with, as well as be able to propose truly innovative solutions.

QUESTION 2

Why do you believe that your services would be of interest to the professionals in the HR department?

Corporate information needs to be both searchable and accessible from any place.  This is not always easy because most of the times the information is unstructured, has content from company documents, correspondence, even from sites on the internet or social media.  The burden in particular lies on the HR professionals who are called upon to respond to the rapid changes which have been brought about due to the pandemic of Covid-19.  The digital transformation which is taking place is a one-way street and moving forward is the only direction to go.

We have introduced a very advanced electronic file management platform, ELO, through which our customers had the opportunity not only to experience, but to also define their measures concerning, the “from where and when” they have access to their files.

This platform allowed distance working, in an exceptionally friendly, and personalized environment for each user. It gave remote and secure access to critical documents, streamlined approval procedures, permitted employees to cooperate electronically, either with each other, or with third parties as well as providing accurate and immediate information at any given time.

This was specifically applicable to the Human Resource departments, as it provided remote and safe access to critical HR data like the digital personnel files and helped in issuing electronic applications (e.g. absence of leave), digital approvals, completing recruitment procedures etc. In essence, the working environment became digital through the platform.

Finally, we have recently formed a strategic partnership with Further Up. This combination of Archeiothiki’s state of the art digital tools on the one hand and Further Up’s deep HR knowledge on the other, will provide our clients with the most efficient and specialized services in the field of Human Resources.

QUESTION 3

The so-called, “digital nomads” are the new “tribe” of workers who seem to be gaining ground in the post-covid era. How could Archeiothiki support this new trend?

Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we have access to our data from anywhere, whether the office, our home, or even on the go. This was applicable even before the appearance of “digital nomads”, but with the increased expectation of “working from anywhere” we are all becoming more or less “digital nomads”.

For our part, we aim constantly to be aligned with every technology advancement, which derives from such phenomena.

We have already commenced new, exclusive collaborations with leading tech-companies worldwite, through which Greek companies have access to “state of the art” digital tools, (ELO Digital Office, Venue-DFin, eBrevia-Dfin, blockchain services etc.)

Furthermore, we have invested in a pioneering R&D department, through which we are developing innovative solutions by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

Driven by this realization, the message that could be given to our readers is: the future is here, and it is digital.

We are here to support our clients, through their digital journey!
