Matena International Center for Digital Transformation (ICDT) created in Armenia

YEREVAN, May 6. /ARKA/. The Matena International School is creating a new professional center in Armenia to disseminate the world's best practices of digital transformation, the IDeA Foundation reported.

It said the programs, which the center will launch from mid May 2022, were developed based on the rich experience of Matena Center's specialists who handled the digital transformation  of a number of companies, including large commercial banks.

Experts from the newly established center have trained senior executives responsible for digital transformation at such companies as Pepsico, IKEA, Deutsche Bank, Caspian Beverage Holding and Volvo.

"Thanks to the special educational programs provided by the center, the organizations' management systems will be transformed and adapted to the latest requirements of the digital era, which in turn will increase their efficiency. We have an ambitious goal to increase the attractiveness of Armenia exactly through education, and the creation of this center will undoubtedly play a key role in its implementation, as digital transformation is one of the most current trends in the management of organizations in the world," said Matena co-founder and director Ruben Hayrapetyan.

For his part, Matena ICDT Director Nikolai Verkhovsky said that "we live in a reality in which digital technology has become an integral part of our daily lives."

"Those companies that do not bring their strategy in line with modern requirements lose their competitive advantage in the long run and give way to more flexible and courageous 'players'. In this regard, it is very important that in Armenia we saw an opportunity and a requirement to make digital transformation a compulsory item in the agenda of a company in any sector," Verkhovsky said.

The group of experts of Matena ICDT includes a former head of the digital transformation of the largest Austrian Erste Group Bank, Ara Abrahamyan who has many years of management experience in the German Deutsche Bank, the head of the information security department of Picsart company Armen Baghdasaryan, the manager with extensive experience in the digital transformation of large international companies and director of Matena ICDT Nikolai Verkhovsky and other leading specialists.

There is already great interest in the center. Students from Armenia, the UAE, Estonia, and Kazakhstan have expressed desire to study here. Leading specialists from Singapore also cooperate with the center and they expressed readiness to participate in the activities of Matena ICDT and to make it the best center of digital transformation in the region. -0-
