Dear guests on our new website and our valued customers
Further to my last message in late 2021, as the saying goes “When going gets tough, the tough get going” I am sure the challenging days of Covid have gone with us developing some good habits of using the tech at its best, keeping a work life balance etc. However in Pakistan we are faced with some challenges with regard to opening LCs and PKR-USD parity resulting in budgetary constraints and overnight depletion of allocated funds for planned CAPEX and OPEX. Business big and small are challenged to survive in these tough times due to both global and local constraints. Nevertheless with the grace of Almighty Allah and with all out support of our valued customers, I’m witnessing yet another promising fiscal year ending Jun 2023.
I promised our customers in my last communication that Arwen will not stop investing in new technologies and bring them to our customers to let you realize the financial and productivity benefits.
My leadership team and their teams are always available and willing to meet our customers to discuss these solutions to bring success in your organizations.
Thank you for reading
Take care of yourself and people around you…
