MDSi Announces Strategic Organizational Changes
Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) July 27, 2017 -- MDSi announced today new leadership roles and strategic alignment initiatives to support rapid growth and technology changes in the IT Networking industry.
“The IT networking industry technology is changing drastically with the shift to next generation networks. Our customers are looking for partners focused on providing innovative supply chain solutions that reduce the CAPEX and OPEX spend required to support their existing network. In addition, they need a partner that is investing in net new OEM’s, solutions and services to “stay ahead of the curve” throughout the migration to that next generation network. I am very excited about the new leadership roles and Supply Chain alignment to broaden our brand and exceed customer expectations throughout this technology change," said CEO of MDSi, Lisa McDonald.
