Edmond de Rothschild Ltd and Margolis IT Solutions (MITs) began discussing solutions to ensure complete external IT service back-up to compliment the in-house IT Manager’s skills.
Providing an efficient, secure and robust local area network is a key issue for Edmond de Rothschild IT Manager, Mariusz Kasak.
