Sueltz
Sun Services VP Patricia Sueltz said, “With the increasing complexity of technology, companies find that they cannot efficiently manage their IT environments with in-house resources. Using Sun Managed Services, customers can offload their IT operations and management ‘pains’ to us and our partners. When customers are ready to reassume operations, they can simply tell us to go.”
