Amityone completes Digimedia IT business transition
“Amityone has been looking for the right circumstances to synergise with an existing IT Service provider business focused on customer service and expert advice and Digimedia IT represented the right fit to achieve this” said John (Yianni) Serpanos, Managing Director | Amityone
AUG 27th 2010: Today Amityone completed its transition of the business of Digimedia IT. Digimedia IT was founded in 1996 by Jerome Chant and has been committed to providing outstanding IT solutions and services to business clients in Victoria. “In this modern age of IT as a service provider, you really need to have the resources and ability to be at the leading edge in offering clients every IT advantage available to them to compete well in their market and on that basis merging Digimedia’s business into Amityone just made sense to ensure our clients retained their competitive edge and where applicable improved on it” said Jerome Chant.
The integration of Digimedia into Amityone takes effect from midnight on the 27th August 2010. In the interim all Digimedia clients will retain the phone numbers, portal and email contact points that have traditionally been available with Amityone’s broader resources taking care of operational IT support, maintenance and management going forward. Media inquiries should be directed to Mr John (Yianni) Serpanos, Managing Director | Amityone.
