These services improve the lives of more than 13 million 500 thousand citizens.

The technology platform implementation for the EPM Shared Services center is a key part of the national plan to achieve synergies, economies of scale, savings and standardization, as well as empowering EPM to place greater focus on its key processes.

Teams working on organizational culture and business communications structured the fundamental idea of self-management, focused on all levels of education and responsibility within the organization and for external users.
Monitoring
The internal customers can keep abreast of the status of their applications and track active and completed processes.
Self-management platform
Online management of pending tasks and unified notifications.
Positively impacted the Environment
Thanks to the significant reduction in paper documents required for the processes.
Economic savings
For example, huge reduction in travel expenses for suppliers who no longer need to hand deliver documents.

The external customers now have the option to start processes from the comfort of their homes. Prior to the implementation, customers had to travel to offices as they were required to attend offices in person; in most cases this involved long-distance travel and long queues.
