Adam Fairless, IT Operations Manager at Germains says, “With a tool like Highlight, our small team in Norfolk can deliver excellent support across our complex global network. We can ensure the network and our applications work at optimum performance and can prove the high service levels to our businesses. In fact, I’d go as far to say that Highlight is our most valued and important tool in the IT operation.”

Andi Willmott, Business Development Director at NetEvidence adds, “We’re delighted to win this award. We’ve been working with Germains for over two years and during that time we’ve been able to provide a supporting role to Germains’ IT operation, helping them to reflect accurately the services it supplies to its business users and enable them to demonstrate that they have invested wisely and are getting value for money.”
