SOFTEC Strengthens Presence in Austria with Appointment of Alexander Brabetz

For 22 years, the SOFTECON conference has been the traditional platform where business meets technology. Last year's event welcomed 300 leaders and experts from leading companies such as Tatra banka, Slovenská sporiteľňa, ČSOB, Union, Kooperatíva, Orange, O2, Slovak Telekom and many others. This year, in the cosy premises of the Arena Theatre, we will welcome on stage the shining star of the business-technology scene - generative artificial intelligence. We will take a look at how companies are actually using it, where it is already bringing real value and where it remains more of a "theater". We will share inspiring examples of the use of generative models - from software development, through improving the customer experience, to addressing customer retention. And we won't forget education: how to adapt the school system so that the children can be ready for a world in which AI plays an increasingly important role?

Tatra banka annually organizes the Tatra banka Top Supplier Day event, during which it awards its partners for successful cooperation in the Customer Experience and Employee Experience categories. For the year 2023, SOFTEC won first place in the Customer Experience (CX) category for the project "Monitoring a Loan Application in a Mobile Application." This functionality allows Tatra banka clients to monitor the progress of their mortgage loan application in real time via a mobile application.

For 21 years, the company SOFTEC has been bringing the business and IT community together. We always choose our topics and speakers carefully to bring valuable insights into current trends and share motivating stories from the field. As the theme Transformation: Back to the Future suggests, this year we will delve into stories of digital transformation from a variety of industries with a look into the past, present and future.​

SOFTEC, a consulting and technology company, announced today that it has created a unique solution enabling companies and their clients to sign contracts with the highest possible legal acceptance at speed and at low cost, through the client’s qualified electronic signature with a qualified electronic timestamp. The solution is fully compliant with the latest EU legislation (eIDAS) and very user-friendly. The uniqueness is based on the fact that the qualified signature can be performed without prior preparation, without the need for clients to visit the branch and without other restrictive or procedurally demanding conditions, as is common when using a qualified signature. It does not require any special hardware, any additional passwords or actions. It leverages the current possibilities offered by facial biometrics along with identity documents, or various smart keys. The solution enables to keep the written form of the concluded agreement, while ensuring the identification of the signing client. According to the available information, SOFTEC is the first company in the Central European region with such a solution.
