Approach

CENIT acts as the central point of contact for all existing and future challenges in this field. This includes the provision of all required resources and the well-established, state-of-the art know-how needed to guarantee that the clearly defined service level agreements (SLAs) are attained at all times.

The core of our IT strategy is to let specialized providers handle issues that concern IT infrastructure and IT services.

To achieve maximum service quality for our customers as well as planning security and cost transparency, while at the same time reducing the amount of effort we had to expend on coordinating with external service providers, we drew up a three-month, three-step transition phase.
