LONDON –February 2011, Msona Ltd.

“Enterprises of all sizes need state-of-the-art ICT systems that are affordable, easy-to-use and require minimal cost of operation.” said Dr. Antoine Kareh, CEO of the CIS Group. “The Msona product range is great at delivering secure, radically simple, affordable and reliable ICT infrastructure in one single robust box which can be managed by the customer, CIS or our channel partners.” Kareh added. Under the agreement, CIS will market, sell and support the Msona offering to all its entities via its direct and indirect channels in 43 countries across the Middle East & Africa.
