Such projects are only possible with a team that knows what it is doing and has a good command of the technology, which is achieved over time and with considerable investment in training and certifications. Obviously, the results were in measure, a consistent increase in turnover, but especially in our level of expertise in several key areas for the company,” says Dragoș Stroescu, executive director of Datanet Systems.
