Thanks to People & Technology, the NRB group is able to offer its customers an enriched range of services, whether for its clients in the public and social sector, the financial world, industry and public utilities, or through our subsidiary Xperthis to hospitals and through our subsidiaries Cevi/Logins and Civadis to local authorities", concludes Pascal Laffineur.
"The entry of People & Technology into the NRB Group represents an important opportunity for our customers and employees," says Vanessa Flament, Managing Director of People & Technology. "They will be able to make full use of their experience in a much broader context, with broader perspectives.
