Essentially, for a question of reliability and scalability, the performance has always been of an enterprise level. The utilities are efficient and effective.

  • The investment made about 20 years ago that has been fully repaid
  • Reliability and security of investments
  • Unfortunately, it is quite outdated and therefore maintenance costs are higher because the skills are not always available.
