We work in a knowledge- based business where trust is key and for us gaining their trust is only second to maintaining it.” “As such, driven by our customer- oriented attitude we offer our clients a large variety of services dedicated towards achieving their goals. In our efforts to offer the optimal solution and the best learning experience to our customers, we decided to partner up with some of the most important IT companies on the market: Global Knowledge and the LLPA (Leading Learning Partner Association).” Discussing the future, Mihai believes that Bittnet will continue to grow and succeed as it seeks to adapt to the ever evolving needs of its clients in order to maintain its market leading position. “Looking to the future, we intend to continue our organizational development strategy in the perspective of 2017-2018, given that the identified growth factors have confirmed it in 2016. We will continue to focus on important projects, paying close attention to delivering gross profitability of each project. The trends that were identified in the past two years - cloud, cybersecurity, virtualization and datacenter will continue to be the source of business growth.
