I had an opportunity to go through the demo of Everest IMS recently(Click here to know more). As a leader in heading the IT function for various organizations in retail and hospitality (food and beverages), I am happy to share my views on the infrastructure management solutioby DMX India (Click here to know more). Here are the 12 key aspects a CIO should look at Everest while deploying in their organizations.
