Integrator Role Opens New World of Opportunity for Metsi
"We’ve become a trusted advisor for software integration. They’re bringing us in to take the leading role for implementation of POCs on major accounts, like Bynet and Euroclear. When other vendors are responding to RFPs with chalk and talk, we’re working with Cisco to build real solutions."
Ghufran Shah, Chief Technology Officer, Metsi
"We work closely with customers to give their employees and customers access to data through the cloud, but they need the security of having it on-premises. We integrate and manage the Metapod platform remotely, and customers can keep it behind locked doors. Working hand-in-hand, we often see needs or problems that we can solve quickly. And our customers trust us to make the right recommendations."
Mark Schreiber, General Manager, systems integrator Cloudwick

"Patient-doctor videos are exploding, and being able to use them with Spark to collaborate helps expand how patients can use them."
Brian Dreyer, Product Management Director, VBrick
