– Project side by LanExpert (no direct sales)

– Youth experience at the beginning and now very good

– Very good performance, no surprise

– VCE Support now good, lacked experience at the beginning

– follow the sun effect (cases transition)

– ping-pong effect, on the VDI Support side

– 8 Call’s opened, only for «optimization»

– Stability, no downtime

– Dedicated Customer Advocate

– Solution Monitoring, VisionIO now integrated
