Referring to these results, SONDA´s CEO, José Orlandini, pointed out that “Despite how Latin America and Chile in particular are being hit by the health crisis, our clients have experienced the need for a greater variety and quality of digital technologies to support their operations, which has allowed us to generate relevant growth in the commercial activity, motivating greater dynamism in revenues and results. Along with this, the measures adopted during 2020 have been decisive in the improvements achieved, which pointed to greater organizational efficiency, verticalization and promotion of technologies that accompany the digital transformation of our clients”. Finally, he mentioned that “we are seeing that economic activity begins to recover, to the extent that the pandemic is affecting the region in a lower degree, which allows us to be more optimistic for the second half of 2021″
