Oliver Schmidt, Head of Division Managed Services, Bechtle AG: “The cooperation with S&T in the area of Field Services gives us an excellent option to access an internationally represented network of specialists. This meets the expectations of many customers, complements our managed service offerings and at the same time offers PSB IT-Service employees the chance to be part of a much larger, successful field services community.”

Through PSB IT-Services GmbH, we are strengthening our team in Germany and, as one of the leading multi-vendor services providers, we can offer the Bechtle system houses and their customers a comprehensive portfolio with excellent service quality.
