How did you cooperate with BASISTEK to make this investment? How did the process proceed?
Our path crossed with BASISTEK at stage of help desk which will find solution to our problems and during the search of suppliers. Its professional and directive approach which masters own subject impressed us positively. BASISTEK did not handle this process in a classical way such as only answering the questions and saying what we should do. Instead, they helped us to determine the problems by tackling them collectively. They formed a sphere in which we can solve such problems with a common sense. Expert staff of BASISTEK gave guidance on finding the most optimum and affordable solution for us with their know how and professional approach. At this point, it was important for us to initially see that we will reach the desired outcome, before making investment. For this reason, Micro Focus Service Manager software was included in the project with the support of BASISTEK. They contributed to progress of the process.
