Services Process 
 i3's target clients include organizations that depend on and recognize the importance of international quality information management solutions. With each potential client, we want to engage in a long-term partnership built on mutual understanding and trust. In every project, we will offer integrated IT solutions and assign a project manager with the knowledge and skill level necessary to successfully supervise and provide all services demanded by our client.

If required by the client, a confidentiality agreement will be signed. Time spent by i3 is not charged.
