“We have installed a cloud-based platform which will give Viking SeaTech the capacity to seamlessly expand as the company grows while creating a single point of access for a variety of different programs, which will increase usability and efficiency.”

adept4 will work to coordinate third party IT providers throughout the rest of the world, providing infrastructure, programming and development resources.
