GlobalNow announced earlier today that it recently expanded its GlobalNow Colombian business operations to RUTA N’s Medellin location.
Per Bob Foster, President of GlobalNow Colombia S.A. “Through our alliance with Custom Information Services (CIS), we have a unique opportunity to create an outstanding team of technical engineers and help desk professionals. Custom Information Services is a well established brand with a reputation for providing high quality MSP services in the United States. Together we saw the need to grow the CIS MSP support team with experienced engineering talent, and expanding our operations in Colombia to address this need was an obvious approach.
