Ready for Anything
Including a Global Pandemic
Intercambio's well-oiled business continuity plan was put to the test when the COVID-19 pandemic hit full force.
However, because the Intercambio team had some electronic processes already in place, the business did not have much impact- even during a very unusual time.
"They have gone from a classroom-based system to an electronic system." That is a brilliant thing to do to affront current situations.
"They took a complex situation and turned it into an opportunity for improvement. A true example that describes Intercambio."
