“IT Gården has since its inception focused on delivering superior customer experience and efficient IT solutions. Over the last couple of years, we have been searching for a partner that shares our vision of putting the customer experience first. In Norvestor we have found a partner that truly understands our business and that can help us, both to expand geographically but also to explore new business opportunities. We are extremely happy about this new partnership and we are confident that it will allow us to deliver an even better customer experience in the future”, says Jan Swedin, CEO of IT Gården.
