Welcome ina and Christina of PATCO, who will tell us about the view of Paco, the services of Paco in the space. Let's start with a very simple question. Tell us a little bit about Paco. Paco runs an international consulting team of IM experts. So provide like effective and sustainable solutions. Yeah. IM solutions actually. And they're based on digital transformations. So when you say digital transformation, what do you mean specifically by that?
Well, digital transformation is a hot topic across the globe and it affects virtually all kinds of industries. Actually, this is a process where services from traditional become automated by the use of information and data. So why we call business digital? Because it actually develops in a completely technology environment where cloud applications, devices, and intelligence system connected with people and business actually. So we can see such digital process developing in major business areas, such as HR, legal, finance, product manufacturing, and even marketing, of course.
So we see that the more users and devices increase, the more grows the need of ensuring identification and of course, protection of sensitive data and all that is possible by enabling identity access management tools. You just mentioned IM why is this so important in the context of the digital transformation? I would say that I am is more than important. I would say that it's actually critical for succeeding, digital transformation process. And as everything becomes connected, companies must know which people and devices are working together.
And especially who has success to what, when, why, what he did with the success. That's why all they need is sustainable management of resources, devices, and users, and also protection of sensitive data. Okay. But on the other hand, isn't security commonly seen as an cost factor only as an inhibitor innovation. Yeah. To a certain degree. Yes. As experts in AAM field field, we see that digital transformation brings amazing business insight and advantages, but security is often see as a barrier to it.
So for successful digital transformation, what companies should do, actually they should know they should ensure the right access to the right person at the right time. And all that is possible by ensuring effective IAM solutions. And actually as IAM consulting company, we are able to provide such kind of Solution. And in a nutshell, what concretely is offering Well, first of all, I would like to tell that before developing any solutions, first, we want to align our security strategy to the business strategy of the client. That's very important.
And then as experts in AAM field with broad experience in different industries in project and our best practice actually help us deliver solutions based on the goal of preparing the business for growth while minimizing security risks. Of course. So we develop power AAM solutions, our solutions in different areas. So they identity sales management, customer management, government risk and compliance and cloud access control.
So let me tell a little bit more about them, especially when we enable identity and access management tools, we make the company stay in control of employees lifecycle and to audited. All that is possible. Thanks to the multifactoral identification, single site, also compliance, reporting, auditing, and centralized provisioning. So as far as custom identity management, which is very interesting, not only topic but area, I would say that most, most people connect with brands online via social media and mobile applications.
That's why we are able to make quick integrations between technologies and applications, and also to ensure secure access, to access to thousands of applications while minimizing the risk of a breach To conclude this, how would you define the, the business benefits to the customer? I would say they are numerous, but let me count just the most essential one. So first of all, this is enhanced security, then improved compliance, improved operational EF, and increased centralized provisioning, and all that leads to boosted user productivity and business ability.
Thank you very much for providing the insight into your view on identity management, consumer identity management, the impact on the digital transformation and what particular delivers to support customers on this. Thank you. Thank you Too.
