The creation of the new group is as a result of the opportunities within the IT services sector for closer more co-operative selling and support, complimenting their core businesses, commented Neil Ledger, Director, EquIP. We see those partners taking advantage of our specialist knowledge, training and comprehensive support services. By definition, these opportunities can be large, complex and longer term and by providing a specialist group to focus on their needs we believe we will be better positioned to take advantage of this growing opportunity.
