Hannes Kiivet - Head of Department of Development in
Estonian Informatics Centre (EIC, RIA in Estonian) with day-to-day responsibility to overlook IT-developments (excluding IT-infrastructure) outsourced by EIC. Other tasks include coordination of other statewide IT-developments to retain the state's and the citizens-entrepreneurs' interest and implement the solutions already proven in practice. As the IT-services get more and more interconnected, there is chance of getting lost in the details, so Hannes is trying to hold the "big picture".
