Leonardo Cino, the company's Country Manager for Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, was at ACCSA's offices and gave a presentation to the company's clients. Cino stressed that Intel understands that "Arnaldo C. Castro S.A. offers the highest quality of services in information technology, in addition to its experience of more than 70 years in the Uruguayan market". The executive underlined that "aligned with Intel's values, Arnaldo C. Castro S.A. works from a professional approach and with a deep vocation for service, focused on human capital and continuous improvement".
In his presentation, he explained that the Internet of Things is driving innovation in almost every aspect of people's lives, from smart cities, homes and classrooms to energy management and wearable devices. Connecting "things" that have never been connected before is giving rise to new insights into data that translate into significant change. These smart, connected "things" are able to capture, share and respond to information. The power of technology goes far beyond PCs, tablets and mobile phones to everything you touch and see on a daily basis. Everyday objects are becoming part of an integrated system of smart devices that are changing the way people live.
In an effort to drive a standard foundation for communication between telecommunications networks, data centres and the cloud, Intel offers standardised hardware and software ingredients that apply to open standards and high-volume economics to help reduce costs and accelerate the delivery of new services, capabilities and revenue models for service providers.
According to Cino, Uruguay has great potential in this context, as it is one of the countries that stands out in the use of technology and how it is adapted to improve people's quality of life. According to 2015 data, 85% of the population in our country has at least one computer of any kind at home and 74% of internet users have a mobile phone with web access and use it.
The Intel specialist added that it is a consolidated market where in recent years greater importance has been given to the insertion of technology in everyday life. He cited the Ceibal Plan and the Ibirapitá Plan as examples.
In addition, for the country strategy, technology plays a very important role at the level of government management, for example, the e-government initiative that seeks to digitise 100% of procedures.
