Offering anything from a dedicated data center and IT service management to complete technology solutions and the management of an IT organization, all from a single source, Kapsch clearly sets the pace. The ideal coordination between everyday business needs and IT is a major factor. This is the job of Business Service Management", explains Karl Schindler, speaking of his new duties.
