(Ecofin Agency) - U.S. tech firm IBM grabbed a new client which is airlines Air Mauritius as it signed on October 18, 2016 a contract to provide the carrier its services. The five-year contract aims to help Air Mauritius better manage its activities with its Saas-based Cloud and Analytics technologies. This should help Air Mauritius maintain growth in the long term.
