February 27, 2019 – Insight EMEA, a division of Insight (“the Company”s) (NASDAQ:NSIT), a Fortune 500-ranked global provider of Intelligent Technology Solutions™, has announced expansion of its European Managed Services operation into Madrid, Spain.

The new centre in Madrid will employ in excess of 100 engineers providing clients with 24/7 multi-lingual technical support. Among the services offered by the team are standard help desk support as well as modern software and hardware lifecycle management. The highly experienced team of engineers will be able to provide level 1, 2 and 3 support across platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Office 365, Windows 10 and Autopilot, to name a few.
Wolfgang Ebermann President, EMEA, Insight, commented: “The unveiling of our European Managed Services Centre in Madrid reflects Insight’s commitment to helping clients optimise their IT investments and increase business agility to stay ahead of their competition. While we already have a facility in the United Kingdom, our centre in Spain is staffed by engineers native to Europe’s largest economies. This allows us to continue to deliver our IT services with the highest standards, across our European client base.”
Strong financial growth to close 2018
Coinciding with the opening of the new Madrid centre, Insight’s financial performance for 2018 demonstrates the success of the company’s growth strategy.

Notes to editors:
The new Managed Services Centre opened on 11th February 2019 and is located close to the current Insight Spain offices in Alcobendas, Madrid. Insight has chosen Spain for the creation of this centre because of the abundance of multi-lingual professionals trained in the latest cloud and data centre technologies who are able to support the company’s growing number of European clients, in their native language.
