The first Citrix on Azure implementation of a Digital Transformation project in Greece

Office Line, a leading company specializing in the provision of integrated IT infrastructure solutions and the implementation of demanding IT projects, has successfully undertaken and implemented the Azure migration project for Intertranslations, the main contractor of translation works of the European Parliament and the European Commission in more than 130 language combinations. This is the first complete digital transformation project in Greece, based on Citrix on Azure technologies. The certified Office Line expertise in both Microsoft Azure and Citrix environments has been the key to the successful first implementation.
In particular, the implementation satisfied the need for Intertranslations to meet its increased requirements for collaboration, security, communication flexibility, and optimization of the company’s productivity, at the same time reducing the long time for support management, committing funds for the renewal of the existing equipment and flexibility to modify the company’s computing power, tailored to the work load of its customers.
Office Line recommended that the entire IT infrastructure be implemented on Azure, ensuring all the advantages of the cloud over the “on premise” infrastructure. With the completion of the project in August 2018, Intertranslations now has a single platform for its partners to communicate and collaborate, which has added increased security and greater levels of flexibility in their daily lives, resulting in an increase in the company’s own productivity.

Mr. Michael Xynos, President and CEO of Intertranslations SA commented with regard to the collaboration: “We are particularly pleased about our choice to collaborate with Office Line, as within a short time our company has upgraded and integrated its infrastructure, thus covering most efficiently the increased requirements for operational functionality as well as flexibility and secure cooperation with all departments of our company and our external partners. We greatly thank Office Line for the excellent collaboration and successful implementation of such a demanding project.”

Mr. Panagiotis Kouris, CEO of Office Line SA noted: “This important collaboration with Intertranslations for the first complete digital transformation project in Greece, based on Citrix on Azure technology, has been a unique challenge we have come to realize. Now, we enable Intertranslations to take full advantage of Microsoft Azure’s capabilities in order to have the flexibility of structural business changes, increase its potential without the need for additional infrastructure, depending on its needs, and the many other benefits provided by the cloud. We warmly thank Intertranslations for its trust.”
