Just like any software, open source tools require regular updates to stay secure, compatible, and functional. Staying true to its commitment to quality and open innovation, Cytech has released a significant update to BuddyMeet — its open source plugin that integrates Jitsi Meet with BuddyPress inside WordPress environments. This new version ensures smooth operation despite recent changes in the WordPress ecosystem and the underlying video conferencing technologies (Jitsi servers).
The transition to the cloud is no longer a question of if, but of how applications should be designed to fully leverage its capabilities. Early efforts followed the lift-and-shift model, where existing applications were simply transferred to the cloud without fundamentally changing how they worked. While this model offers some initial benefits—such as cost reduction and basic flexibility—it does not tap into the real potential of the cloud. On the other hand, cloud-native software development represents a foundational change in approach: it focuses on designing and implementing applications that are built from the ground up for the cloud, based on principles such as flexibility, automation, resilience, and scalability.
Not every software project is simple. Some involve complicated integrations, legacy systems, real-time performance requirements, or thousands of users depending on uninterrupted functionality every second. These are the kinds of projects that can’t be delivered using off-the-shelf solutions. They require experience, technical depth, and a team that understands what it means to work under demanding conditions. This is exactly what Cytech does - every day.
In today’s digital world, identity verification is the cornerstone of every secure online interaction.

For decades, the leisure yacht industry in Greece has relied on complex regulatory processes to ensure that vessels under foreign flag operating in Greek waters comply with legal and safety standards. In the digital era, these processes are being transformed through innovative technologies, and the e-Charter Permission platform that Cytech developed is at the forefront of this revolution. Designed and developed under a project contract from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy of Greece, the platform modernizes the way leisure yacht charter permits are issued, providing an efficient, transparent, and user-friendly solution while significantly reducing bureaucracy and streamlining technical procedures
