Comments on Innopsis? 888-563-3228 Description Innopsis, the trade association for suppliers of Digital infrastructure and services to the UK Public Sector, provide a round up of activity and in the sector plus interviews with notable people in either the Public Sector, or Industry, in this series of podcasts. Website https://www.innopsis.org Opinion This started off so good. You had great audio, you introduced the show quickly and got right to the content.
