When a company asks for “software,” what it truly needs is a solution. Not just screens, buttons, or features—but something that works, integrates smoothly into operations, and solves specific problems. So how does an idea or need turn into a tool with tangible value? The answer lies not just in programming, but in the process of translating business goals into digital capabilities. In this article, we break down the key stages of that journey—from initial concept to execution.
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.
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
In December 2024, Cytech completed, on behalf of the Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy, the project of developing and supporting for 1 year an information system to support the Department of Certificates of Maritime Competence of the Directorate of Marine Education (DE-KN).
On the 29th of December 2023, the electronic platform / application was put into production and made available for use with which the "Permit to charter a commercial recreational vessel, recognized under the law of another country, for a certain amount of time" will be issued electronically. The application concerns professional recreational vessels, under a foreign flag over 35 meters long, which are granted the right to operate in Greece.
