presents," says EOH CEO Asher Bohbot. "We think that the close relationship
between our organisations will bring tremendous value to not only our two
companies but more specifically to the existing customer and partner base.
EOH understands the local market and brings a diverse range of skills that
can be utilised to further enhance the end user customer experience."
