About HOPEX Aquila  

The name HOPEX Aquila comes from Latin « aquila », which translates to eagle, representing one of the 88 star constellations in the sky. Much like how constellations link stars to shape recognizable forms, HOPEX Aquila establishes connections between business, IT, data, and risk viewpoints to construct a digital portrayal of the organization. Similar to how constellations steers navigators amidst tempestuous seas and unclear waters, HOPEX Aquila guides organizations through the ever-shifting terrain of today's business landscape.
