“Het eerste wat u misschien wilt weten is: wat levert het mij op? Dat is eenvoudig – u krijgt een geschikte, toekomstbestendige oplossing voor vernieuwing geleverd tegen de best mogelijke kosten, met een snelle doorlooptijd en zonder dat u er veel voor hoeft te doen – het wordt allemaal voor u gedaan door een team dat weet wat het doet. POC’s zouden geen maanden moeten duren, offertes geen weken – u zou geen ondermaatse of reactieve service, vertraagde implementatie en slecht oplossings- en accountmanagement moeten accepteren.
