The full IT outsourcing
The full IT outsourcing solution involves the contracting out of the development, deployment, and support of information systems to an external specialized company. You can hand over the entire IT function at your company’s infrastructure level (supporting equipment, hardware, and software) or outsource part of activities related to the development and/or support of individual system components (programming, hosting, testing, etc.) to our company.
