Datacentrix will continue to focus on expanding into technologies that delivers business value to its clients, including digital transformation solutions, hybrid solutions from edge to cloud that is informed by the customers’ data and workload requirements. It will continue to operate independently as it has in the past and does not envisage any changes in operations or staff.
