When looking for strategic partners , Tamvakis stresses the importance of mutual trust . “ When establishing new collaborations with multinational companies , it ’ s important to have mutual trust and a sense of safety . Another factor is track record . We like to work with big companies to ensure that if something goes wrong , we have a big company behind us to find out the answers and solutions .”
Looking to the future , Tamvakis sees a lot of automation happening . “ We are using automations in our warehouses day to day , but we also have two surgical robots , one for laparoscopic and one for orthopaedic surgeries . We ’ re seeing more and more new technologies emerging which is exciting and important to drive paperless operations . I believe this is something that not only healthcare will experience , but a lot of other sectors too .” Tamvakis also reiterates the importance of identifying hidden costs in the future . “ There are a lot of costs that we have not taken into account in the past , but they do make a difference over time .”
