“Furthermore, we believe that modern, secure, and user-friendly cloud solutions are essential to running our sales processes as smoothly as possible. As Maritech´s DigitalSeafood™ platform is built specifically for the seafood value chain, and hosted in Microsoft Azure, we get the process support we need, combined with Microsoft scalable, state-of-the-art infrastructure and functionality. We know Maritech well, as a solid and competent partner and advisor.”
