It will serve as an intermediate repository for the data that will later be used for analytics with Power BI.	Novian Pro and the members of a consortium are implementing the SESIOP (Single European Sky and InterOperability) project funded by the European Defence Fund. It involves studies with a value of EUR 19 million. The project aims to increase interoperability between military Air C2 systems and integrate Single European Sky (SES) rules, ensuring a smooth transition to efficient, safe and dependable operations in the planning, tasking and execution phases.	Novian Systems, on behalf of the Centre of Registers of Lithuania, is developing an information system to enable Lithuanian pharmacies to exchange e-prescriptions and dispensing documents with the national contact centres of other EU countries. This will allow residents of Lithuania to purchase prescription medications throughout the EU and will give residents of other EU countries similar possibilities in Lithuania. As of May 2024, Lithuanian citizens already have this ability in Latvia and Poland.	Novian Pro is participating as a consortium member in the AI4DEF (Artificial Intelligence for Defence) project, which aims to use artificial intelligence (AI) to develop European defence technologies. The project includes a study, research, and prototype development and testing. The total value of the EU-funded project is EUR 7 million. It aims to demonstrate the benefits of artificial intelligence in military functional areas such as situational awareness, decision-making and planning optimization.	On behalf of the Ministry of Social Security and Labour of Lithuania, Novian Systems modernized and enhanced the functionality of the information system for the activities of the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived in Lithuania. Modernization of the system included restructuring of data and functional modules as well as other upgrades. The system enables the digitalization and execution of data collection, analysis and administration, and the production of a variety of reports in pursuit of the defined targets for the programme's activities and financial and physical results.
Benefits	The new analytics tool allows both separate and consolidated monitoring of data for the four group companies, interactive reporting, and real-time visibility of changes in the data. Thus,	The definition of the architectural solution will ensure data exchange between civil-military and military military control centres. The project's results will improve air	When the project is completed, Lithuanian residents will be able to buy prescription medicines in all EU countries.	To demonstrate the universality and accessibility of AI4DEF as a cloud services platform, it will be implemented in several areas such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) missions with optimisation of effect	The changes made will allow the information system to be redesigned and extended, thus improving its performance and relevance.

Main projects

Project	IT infrastructure maintenance for Ekskomisarų Biuras	Computerized workplace maintenance services for the Bank of Lithuania	Starlink satellite connection for Lithuanian Railways	14,500 computers for 600 Lithuanian schools	Digitization of Estonia's soviet-era cultural archive
Scope	Novian Technologies began to provide the security services firm Ekskomisarų Biuras with IT infrastructure maintenance, administration and consulting services, including the maintenance of computer workplaces and critical IT infrastructure.	Novian Technologies began to provide the Bank of Lithuania with IT competence services for the maintenance of computer workplaces. The package of services includes hardware checks, software updates and real-time problem solving, thus ensuring the proper and timely maintenance of computer workplaces.	Novian Technologies is providing receiver equipment and Starlink satellite connectivity to ensure a stable and fast internet connection on trains on the popular Vilnius-Riga and Vilnius-Klaipėda routes. The connection is currently installed on three trains.	Lithuania's National Agency for Education has launched the project "Learning Tools for Schools" (No 10-063-P-0001). One of the activities of the project financed by the European Regional Development Fund and national co-financing is the provision of computer equipment to general education schools. As part of the project, Novian Technologies will provide 14,562 laptops and 1,216 charging cabinets to more than 600 different schools in the country.	As part of the project "Archives of Soviet-era creative associations and cultural and scientific institutions", the Estonian National Archives has procured services for the digitization (scanning) of paper archive materials. During the project, 2 million files will be digitized and published on the website of the National Archives.
Benefits	These arrangements offer protection against possible disruptions of critical IT infrastructure and make it possible to quickly resolve any technical problems that arise. The services also ensure a high level of IT security and reduce IT costs, allowing the company to focus on its core activity of providing high quality security services.	Effective maintenance helps to optimise costs, reduce the downtime of IT systems and ensure efficiency and security.	The ability to use Starlink satellite internet on the country's trains makes it possible to expand the use of modern technologies in the transport sector, thus improving travellers' experience and extending innovative solutions across the region.	The project aims to improve the quality of education services by providing general education schools that operate effectively with computer equipment.	This will give the public access to a wide range of archival material from Soviet era creative unions and cultural and scientific institutions from 1940-1991.

Main events

• In early 2024, to improve service quality, Novian Technologies reorganised its structure and created an IT Services Department, whose work includes the provision of managed services to ensure the smooth functioning of an organisation's IT operations, as well as the implementation of separate projects in the areas of IT infrastructure, highperformance computing, digitization and others. The changes made it possible to combine the expertise that is relevant to clients, thus ensuring more effective internal process coordination and service delivery, and, in the longer term perspective, to focus on the development of consulting services.
• In March 2024, Novian Technologies together and partner Red Hat organized the event "Novian Technologies in Focus: Migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Updates". It presented the benefits of choosing Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), perspectives on migration and the importance of the update process.
• In May 2024, Novian Technologies held its 10th annual "Technologies and Resilience 2024" conference, which addressed a range of topics including the impact of AI on IT operations, quantum technologies and their security aspects, and the importance of innovations and partnerships for the success and growth of organizations.

• In June 2024, Novian Technologies took part in the Asia Climate Forum 2024 in Singapore, where it presented highperformance computing (HPC) solutions for weather forecasting, climate change modelling and early warning systems.

• In 2024, Novian Technologies actively developed its consulting business, successfully bidding in tenders to provide public sector organisations with IT consulting on cloud computing architecture and procurement matters. The company is providing these services in European and African countries.
