“Centrinet’s business is based upon presenting and delivering solutions that best fit our customers’ needs.  We’ve built our reputation on technology from partners with similar core values. Liquidware Labs has been an ideal partner for Centrinet over the last several years and has added value to our team at every level of the organization,” said Dario Ferreira, Executive Vice President of Centrinet. “We have found that Liquidware Labs solutions are essential in helping address requirements in our customer environments to successfully move them to next generation desktops. We are honored to have the Center of Excellence distinction.”
