Long gone are the days when companies could profitably compete with a single service or product. Today's evolved satcom provider is not simply selling airtime, rather the trend is to offer a suite of tailored business solutions unique to the maritime business. In this regard, Xantic has clearly blazed a path, staying ahead of the competitive curve via customer-driven R&D and timely acquisitions. "Everyone is focusing on the integration of systems," said Arthur C. Hendriks, AMOS Director of Marketing. Proving the company's commitment was its recent announced strategic alliance with Veson Nautical, a provider of integrated management systems for the shipping industry.
