After consolidation the two types of services are offered and provided by HICRON.
"In order to cooperate with large companies we must meet their expectations of a broad and comprehensive offer, in the area of SAP consulting, as well as implementation and development of complex technical projects. HICRON and HICRON Consulting offer complementary services. By consolidating two companies, we combine our powers and we are able to better meet the needs of our clients as to the development of their systems." - says Remigiusz Efinowicz, HICRON board member and HICRON Consulting company's proxy.
