We have repeatedly said that the work of the technical department is very responsible, and many aspects related to the service life of terminals, their appearance, serviceability, and functioning depend on the work of its employees. Alexey Trofimov knows firsthand how important it is to be able to manage the activities of the largest subdivision of the company, and therefore in his speech he shared with our partners the secrets of successful management of a large "family", already existing of 121 employees.

In her speech on "Control, accounting, and process management systems and financial flows of the company", Oxana focused on the financial performance of the company, emphasizing its stability and identified priority areas of the financial economy, indicating the sliding growth of turnover and net profit.
