iSOCO has appointed Luis Vega as the new manager of its Valencia office with the aim of strengthening the presence of the technology firm in the area comprising the regions of Valencia, Murcia and eastern Andalusia.
- (1888PressRelease) March 01, 2012 - Barcelona, - With over 10 years experience in the field of consulting, Vega will oversee the progress of projects already underway, such as those undertaken for the Valencian Regional Government's Directorate General of Public Health, spearheading the company's growth strategy in this area of Spain.
• Vega assumes management of one of the key strategic areas of Spain for the company specialising in semantic technology and artificial intelligence
This appointment will help to strengthen the introduction of iSOCO's products and services geared towards facilitating organisations in the management of large volumes of data and creating collaborative platforms with the aim of helping to improve their competitiveness, as well as providing quick access, through search systems that incorporate semantics, to information of interest. Semantic technology enables a more accurate response to the key words of any request for information by Internet users, because it approximates natural human language.
Likewise, the Valencia team will bolster the company's research into new technological applications, a basic pillar of iSOCO's activity which is reflected in its R&D iLAB, located in Madrid.
iSOCO Valencia has a team of 13 employees and, alongside Barcelona, Pamplona and Madrid, it is one of the company's four workplaces in Spain. Their latest projects in Valencia include the web portals built for the Valencia General University Hospital. In parallel, the company has embarked on an ambitious internationalisation project with which it aims to open 12 overseas subsidiaries in the 2011-2014 period

Vega then joined the technological consultancy firm specialising in purchasing, Fullstep, as the company's Business Development Manager. He currently combines his work with his role as a lecturer at the Valencian Chamber of Commerce's Luis Vives School, at the Castellón Chamber of Commerce Training School and in the postgraduate courses of the CEU Cardenal Herrera de Valencia University.
