The next five years will be a defining period for IBS. Our investments in R&D and the pursuit of strategic acquisitions will continue. We will consolidate our position as a strategic IT supplier to the TTL industry by providing innovative, differentiated platforms that will help our clients compete and lead in a digital world.
