It’s one of the reasons why the partnership took shape before the pandemic, the current context being a good catalyst for its development”, said Gorkem Tursucu, CEO of TotalSoft.

Together with TotalSoft we aim to support the digitalization of the business environment and the efficiency of the activity by reducing the operational costs”, mentioned Adrian Floarea, CEO of certSIGN.
