Synergy In Germany, Imtech's ICT division (Fritz und Macziol and Infoma®) numbers over 2,500 ICT clients, and is one of the biggest players on the German ICT market, with strong partnership relationships with world market leaders IBM and Microsoft.

Neo's clients, in turn, will be gaining access to the full additional service package of Fritz und Macziol and Infoma®.
