Challenge
Syneos Health faced the challenge of expanding its Asia Pacific offices while maintaining global standards for IT infrastructure, equipment and network. Rather than managing and dealing with multiple providers throughout the region, Syneos Health’s IT team required a trusted and experienced IT solutions provider with local and regional industry knowledge. A single point of contact for the Asia Pacific region was crucial.
