Amino CEO, Donald McGarva, said: “We are delighted that the proven quality of our solution and our ability to deliver a great service has led Vodafone Iceland to upcycle its devices with us.

Our Engage solution will also help Vodafone to reduce support costs and device lifecycle management – dramatically reducing the timescales of rolling out upgrades and new advanced services.”
