Acquisition of Provide managed Services by EshgroSale mandate
Since its inception in 2002, Provide’s MSP activities have grown into an organization with over 40 employees, in-depth knowledge of the SME market, a high level of service (XLA) towards end users and a full scope ICT outsourcing services package.
Mike Dawud, CEO of Provide: “The separation of our MSP activities is a logical consequence of the market developments in specialization and scaling up. The transfer of the MSP activities guarantees the continuity of the organization and service for our customers. We are convinced that Provide’s Managed Services activities are in good hands with Eshgro.”
