Securing Critical Healthcare Distribution Systems
How we protected a 30-year-old pharmaceutical wholesaler's operations, securing their inventory management system, regulatory compliance platform, and B2B e-commerce portal
David and the team have been such a pleasure to work with. They deliver on everything they promise and add great value and direction to all choices being made. We are delighted to have chosen Panoptics as our IT partner to support our business. I couldn't be any happier. Highly recommended.
